Over the last few years Michelle Lee, known for her extreme dedication to all bluegrass and country music artists and fans, has continued working hard on developing new ways of sharing the great music. As a multi-award nominee and winner of Broadcaster of The Year for IBMA (2019) and SPBGMA (2022), Michelle Lee has always made it her goal and priority to give the best show and music to all her fans as much as she can. Lately, that goal has exploded, and she has created more opportunities of expanding her reach within the music community. As things have come together over the past few years, Michelle Lee feels that it is time to share WITH ALL OF YOU her newest accomplishments and journey.
Building the foundation of her new endeavor, Michelle Lee set out to accomplish a few more aspirations. In 2020, Michelle Lee brought you the website ( https://michelleleeonair.com ) that provides a quick and easy way to communicate with her and access archived interviews. Having the platform of the website and the world-wide reach as a broadcaster, Michelle Lee’s desire to help artists kept tugging at her heart. During the drive home from the 2021 IBMA Conference, Michelle Lee and Marsha began turning the question of ‘how we can help artists’ into a plan of action. In January of 2022, Michelle Lee started the Artist Spotlight. This puts the artists in the forefront and gives a glimpse of who they are as an artist/non-artist. Earlier this year, 2023, Michelle Lee started the Album Release Spotlight to help spread the word of new albums or singles. The review is completed after listening to every song, reading the lyrics, and reviewing the list of all artists on the album.
On the MICHELLE LEE ON AIR streaming station, the Artist and Album Release Spotlights both have commercials and songs off their album(s) aired throughout the month. The spotlights are also found on the website (https://michelleleeonair.com ) and linked to the artists’ website. Since the start of these services, Michelle Lee has received messages from the artists sharing with her how they have seen an increase in website traffic, increase in merch sales, calls from festival promoters and/or have noticed more downloads of their songs.
Experiencing success with the Artist and Album Release Spotlight, Michelle Lee felt it was time to bring out the next idea she had been envisioning, the Stories Behind the Songs. Michelle Lee shared that, “after hearing a new song, Marsha would always ask, wonder what the true story is, how did they find out about this story in history, where did they come up with that idea, is the story of the song true or fiction, and etc. So, I mentioned to her that the only way to truly find out was to ask the artists themselves.” Doing the Stories Behind the Songs has truly brought that vision alive. Instead of another article, Michelle Lee decided to do it in an interview format with the artist and go song by song through their album. Michelle Lee stated, “I am having tons of fun doing these and continue to find it amazing how much the story behind a song can enhance the emotion of a song even more”. After just a few months, the response of Stories Behind the Songs has been astonishing. Michelle Lee feels that she is doing something right since one of her fans stated that “I love the shows and have bought numerous CDs because of them”.
While all of these features have been successful, they have also been steppingstones to the ultimate objective. It is the perfect time to tell the entire bluegrass and country community of how Michelle Lee’s hard work, dedication and determination has changed her DREAM into REALITY!
In preparation for the announcement to all of you, Michelle Lee launched the station about three months ago and had a hand full of folks listening. Those included (label executives, artists and family/friends) who have had the opportunity to listen had the following to say:
