APM officially lived in the far southwest tip of Gwinnett County. Off of Winter's Chapel. Near Dunwoody.
But we were arguably either officially a Doraville address or an ATL address. Our mail just came to us as "Atlanta."

A lot of folks have no idea that Raleigh was ground zero for the alt-country movement...so many great bands that came out of there. It's as much a music mecca as Athens was for New Wave in the 80s or Seattle for Grunge in the 90s. Brad Rice, one of my old Clemson acquaintances played with Whiskeytown for a while. I honestly thought his band The Backsliders should have blown up much bigger than they ever did. I haven't seen Brad since I left Clemson, but his list of credits to date is nothing short of amazing. He even played some guitar on a couple of Ray Wylie Hubbard records, which of course makes him a legend in my mind.

Ground zero?

I always think of the Midwest as ground zero, with the Jayhawks, Uncle Tupelo etc. Even stretching the genre, Jason and the Scorchers were from Nashville. I’d argue a lot of DnC’s catalog probably qualifies well as alt country too, but they’re so eclectic that no one ever pigeonholed them there.

Yeah, I might have been stretching it a LITTLE but Raleigh

truly was one of the Meccas for the genre, especially if you get inclusive of the entire Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area. North Carolina as a whole was always strong for the alt-country movement, and really continues to be. These bands aren't getting Rolling Stone covers but they're still there, still active, and folks like American Aquarium, Sarah Shook & The Disarmers, and Southern Culture on the Skids have a great record of selling out shows all over the country even now. I guess in short...my point is that Raleigh was always one of the great incubators of the movement and continues to be.

Connells might fit the mold a little too, as well
