American Roots LIVE with Nasty Ned...

there is absolutely no other show like it anywhere!


Don't be fooled by imitations.

American Roots Live is not a typical open mic or open jam. It's not some casual effort by a part time musician to plug in and make some noise. American Roots Live is a legitimate show in a legitimate music room, not some neighborhood shot & beer joint - it's the longest running of its kind - and it stands for roots music preservation.

ARL is an equal opportunity celebration of the music. It's for passing the torch to the next generation in an effort to keep the fire burning AND to create an outlet for players to play and network as the "live" music scene is shrinking... and venues are dying off one by one...

American Roots Live appreciates and recognizes the contributions of its participants. ARL puts everyone in the spotlight making everybody an All Star. Every participant is invited to sign the ARL all stars autographed guitar. And ARL puts every one's name in print right here in our weekly roots reviews.

American Roots Live also has official photographers and is the only show of its kind where you can perform one week - come back the next week and possibly take home a beautiful color print of your performance the week before - for free!

American Roots Live doesn't just have its hand out for the sake of gathering donations. ARL, now approaching its 77th week, passes the bucket to keep the show going and always gives something back to the people. Fans and players alike win music CDs, harmonicas, T shirts and other great prizes each week. Last night we gave away Delbert McClinton and a number of Elmore Magazine CD samplers featuring John Mayall, Eric Clapton, John Lee Hooker, Roy Orbison and more. In previous weeks; the Allman Brothers, Al Green, Muddy Waters, Aretha Franklin, 25 Years of R&B, 25 Years of Soul, T Bone Walker, BB King, lots of great new music CDs from our many All Stars and on and on.

American Roots Live is where you have a chance to take home autographed guitars. We've given away two so far and our third guitar give-away happens November 1. Tickets are still available, but going fast so hurry out for your chance to take home the Austin electric strat autographed by so many: Nasty Ned, John Powers, Johnny Charles, Jamo Flynn, Lee Fink, Phoenix Arizona's HoneyBoy Dupree, Bob DelRosso, Arne Englund, Rob Fraser, Gene Goodman, Dean Schot, Pinky Mendez, members of the Congregation, members of Cleaver June, Mimi Nowak, Roy Macnamara, Nancy Coletti, Lori V, Hershall Dow, Ron Michaels, north Georgia's Smokestack the Foothill Fury, Toronto Canada's Vanderpark, Covington Kentucky's Fickle and many, many, many more.

You do not have to be present to win!


Yep, never be fooled by imitations. There is only one American Roots Live. It's Thursdays and Sundays at Orphan Annie's and it's hosted by yours truly. There really is no other show like it anywhere - on any night, guaranteed.
