Emilee Warner
The Queen of Nashville
October 19, 2007 | by Noah on the writeup...Zach on the Video | Permalink
Some people can’t hide how much they love their job; Emilee Warner, the voice of Country Music Television’s radio network is one of those people.
At 21, Emilee has graduated college, bought a house and found her way deep into the Nashville music scene, all
because she is a charming extrovert and, more importantly, a diehard fan of bluegrass. At 21, Emilee has accomplished a great deal of things. Her freshman year in college, where she studied marketing, Emilee founded a bluegrass radio show. By the time she graduated three years later, Emilee had already had two internships and three
jobs in the music business. The youngest to audition for her current position, Emilee won the job through sheer confidence and will power.
“If I could hug and kiss Nashville,” Emilee says, “I would. I love this town.”
Emilee has placed herself in the epicenter of the bluegrass world, an obvious choice for a fan and banjo player
such as herself. The lesson that Emilee has to teach everyone, even those many years her senior, is that extroversion is an incredibly powerful tool. “If you love music and you’re outside,” says Emilee, “You’re going to meet a lot of people.” And a lot of people Emilee has met, taking the Pursue the Passion crew to numerous concerts, parties and events within the bluegrass community. Emilee’s passion is for music, and could see herself doing just about anything in the music world.
“I’d love plain old marketing,” she says, with a grin. “As long as I’d be marketing good music.”

A week ago I got a new server at work. I have not recieved one of my PTP daily logs in over a week. I’m sick about it. I think I just fixed it. You know how I said you should charge money for this? Well, after not reading about your tour for a week, I would even pay double now.
