Mandi Rae's EPK
HEY! Take a look at an interview done for Tapestry... a show on Birmingham, Al's local NPR station. Just click on the logo and find my interview!
Check out this map of people who are visiting this profile... cool.
Mandi Rae from Birmingham is one of the young performers who is posed to take back country music from the over commercialized grip of the Nashville establishment and give us a genuine taste of the sincere, straightforward narrative and powerful voices of the real south. Full of humor and straight to the point, Mandi Rae has a natural affinity for entertaining and has been a refreshing break in my own music listening of late. Go to www.mandiraemusic.com and to www.myspace.com/mandirae and get an earful of Mandi Rae's punchy tunes and home-made philosophy.

Hey, thanks for friending me! I'm just a local who never knew where 2 go so I built this site in my spare time. It's all user generated so I really need some help uploading cool bars and specials. I also made up a place where we can post events too. Check it out and let me know what you think. I am still building it so if you have any suggestions, I can usually put them in right away. The site's address is yourareacode.com. Thanks again!
