Welcome to Roadtrip Central! This is a continuing chronicle of my journey around the country, as I meet with Pandora listeners and musicians to learn about what you want to see happen with music in this digital age. I hope you enjoy reading about my past stops - from a three person meet-up in a Biloxi diner to a packed get-together in a huge MIT lecture hall.
I hope you'll take a minute to share your favorite bands, clubs, lodging and eateries in your city. If you don't see your state on the blog, just post to 'Other States' and I'll make a note to try and visit! I look forward to meeting and hearing from you!
Cheers...

Atlanta recap
We'd like to thank all of our Atlanta listeners who joined us for our "Walk Through the Genome" party at Tree Sound Studios on March 9. It was a pleasure to enjoy the positive live sounds of Laura Reed & Deep Pocket, as well as those of the great new band Folk Festival. We loved getting to meet a great bunch of Georgia listeners, and answering some very thoughtful questions.
You can hear more music from Laura Reed & Deep Pocket in our new video about Tree. Here are some photos from the event, courtesy of Pandora's Jennifer Zeidler:

Our new video series, "Studio Stories" - first up, Green Recording
Meet the man who is revolutionizing environmentally-smart recording. Paul Diaz of Tree Sound Studios has turned his Atlanta studio into a completely eco-friendly zone. See why artists such as Outkast's Andre 3000 choose to reduce their carbon footprints by recording at Tree.
This show marks the first in our brand new video series called "Studio Stories." We'll be introducing you to many of the people behind the scenes who record, mix and produce the songs you love. Stay tuned as we meet these fascinating musical minds and hear their tales of creativity.
Cheers to Atlanta!

Atlanta, GA
Terribly belated blog entry for a great visit to Atlanta, GA. Spent the morning with folks at Turner, then met a rowdy bunch of music enthusiasts at the Mellow Mushroom.
Very animated conversation over pizza and beer. Some local radio promoters, musicians, technologists, bloggers, web designers... then headed out for some live music...

I'm still planning my itinerary for Georgia. I know Athens is a can't-miss and Atlanta is of course a music mecca. Please leave any comments or suggestions below.
