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...

I took the liberty of adding some of these pix to the blog for your viewing pleasure...
Thanks to everyone who came to the gathering. We met in a beautiful, rustic wood cabin on the Hampshire College campus...

In early October, I'll be making a tour stop in Boston for a town hall meeting at night. I'm looking forward to meeting with Pandora listeners in The Walking City, and will try to hit some colleges too (I've heard there are few of 'em there). Any students with suggestions - we're all ears! I would love to read tips and answer questions from locals in the comments section below.
We love reading and responding to your feedback on the blog - the comments have been a treasure trove of great insights and guidance as we plan our visits.
