Ameripolitan Awards 2023
Die von Dale Watson ursprünglich in Austin ins Leben gerufenen Ameripolitan Music Awards, die nach seinem Umzug nach Memphis aber seit ein paar Jahren dort vergeben werden, warfen wie immer ein Schlaglicht auf bemerkenswerte Künstler, die vom Mainstream oft nur am Rande bemerkt werden.
