Here's the list of archived performers. I believe it's been a marketing trend on their part to gradually move away from the Austin and other Texas artists, away from twang and the singer/songwriter, and move toward being featuring more international acts and edgy pop. It's fine, they don't want to get stale and boring to the greatest number of viewers. I guess it's better for them to thrive than die but I just want the locals to get more exposure. I guess we are going to have to rely on ME Television for that now.
And no... you can't see it. It's a local broadcast with local acts. [sigh]
I looked through the list on the link I just posted. Sheryl Crow is from last season (so one less Texan!). So yes... I would say it's a record low number.
Grrr. I need to correct myself again! What Made Milwaukee Famous is an Austin band.
