The Entertainment Industries Hottest Spots

As the former Associate Producer of the Peavey Awards (Mississippi Grammy Legacy Event), I stumbled upon a recently article that made me grin like a kid on Christmas morning. Apparently the world (or at least Vanity Fair) is recognizing the deep musical roots of the Magnolia state. Whether it’s Elvis Pressley, B.B. King, Robert Johnson, or any other musical legend, Mississippi has been loaning it’s talent out for decades. The Nashville’s, L.A.’s, and NYC’s of the world have been leasing Mississippi’s musicians since the dawn of American music; but now the hospitality state is recalling all its loans. It appears the land of cotton and blues is attacking the industry with such arrogance, as to say “umm that’s our artist and we’re them back”, as they reclaim their place in music history. Don’t believe me? Well at least Vanity Fair ranked the Peavey Awards as one of the hottest spots on the planet.
