One For The Books: Former Buddy Lee Attractions VP Mike Meade and former agent Amy Aylward have launched Acceleration Music Group. "Two things have always remained constant: a great booking agency can truly accelerate an artist to the next level working in tandem with the artist's team, and a hard-working agency that moves forward as a unit to pursue both our clients' and our staff's goals will succeed," Meade says. First to the roster are Suzanne Alexander, Bone Feather, Ty Herndon, Brody Ray, Darryl Worley and Michelle Wright. Reach Meade here and Aylward here. Reach AMG by phone at 615-378-5770.
