For the many musicians in Nashville, and the surrounding area, there is a newsletter that can serve as the 'all-in-one' connection that they may be looking for. Gary Allen's Music City Beat, a free newsletter that goes out to thousands of hand-selected recipients every month, is chock full of music news, announcements, song competition winners, rare photos, musicians referral, discounts, new services for musicians and much more.
Gary Allen, a BMI recording artist, is a life-long resident of Nashville, and has been playing and recording music with top name artists (Charlie Daniels, JJ Cale, Stonewall Jackson) for many years. BMI reports that Gary is played on the radio every 4 seconds on Epic, Sony, Buddah, Mercury, Polygram, Shelter, MCA, Blue Hat, CBS, K-Tel and Polydor Records. And if those credentials were not enough, the list of Gary's musical affiliations with managers, A&R people, radio, TV, recording engineers, booking agents, record labels and program directors is also quite long. The sharing of these connections is one of the benefits for the winners of the Sonic Bids Music City Song Competition, which Gary officiates in association with Sonic Bids. Contest winners also receive a number of other prizes, are featured in the Music City Beat newsletter and are spotlighted on the Tennessee Concerts website, which is a top rated Google favorite among musicians and bands internationally.
For musicians who wish to receive the Music City Beat newsletter, it's as easy as contacting Gary (a truly nice guy, who makes himself very accessible) at his email address: garyallendrums@bellsouth.net

Hi Ken,
Hope you are well.
I got the e-mail from Lorrie Morgan,
My lady and I have spent a lot of time with and around Jesse and Lorrie.
I found his e-mail to be quite interesting.
I have a pool room at home and one CD that stays in my system is Keith Whitley.
Looks like Jess could use your help so I searched you out to forward his e-mail to you.
Thanks Ken!!
