About Americana Vibes
Americana Vibes is a newsletter by English writer Paul Dettmann about Americana music. I write about roots and country and beyond but in a very English style. My English sense of humour is the killer hook!
Available for Bios and Press Releases
Several artists have flattered me by asking for bios and press releases over the last year. The Vibes is not a PR company but we do work with several top-tier PR agencies in Nashville, Memphis and London. We have a simple quality test on all of our writing: will it make the artist cry?
100% guaranteed to make you ugly cry all night
Praise for my writing
"This was the best review I've ever gotten, it was so on point... this made me cry this was so perfect. Thank you so so much for understanding me and letting me be me and not just comparing me to other female artists... you have no idea how this all aligns with me."
(Kitty Coen, Nashville, TN)

"Paul has a rare gift for diving into not just the meaning behind your lyrics, but into who you are as an artist—and how it all ties together. In a world that often feels fast and dismissive, his writing makes you feel truly seen. That’s a beautiful and rare thing. I’m beyond grateful." (Zoee, Nashville, TN)
"I absolutely love this in depth , track by track review of my new album Desert Queen! With the continued disappearance of outlets for music journalism, it's very heartening to see our work as independent artists inspire other independent creators of all mediums to write about the record we put so much effort into. Thank you 🩷" (Pearl Charles, Joshua Tree, CA)
