The American Music Show is a weekly public access variety television program, produced from 1981 to 2005 in Atlanta, Georgia by Dick Richards, James Bond, Potsy Duncan, and Bud "Beebo" Lowry.
[1][4] Episodes were generally filmed in producer Dick Richards's Inman Park house[5] on a budget of five dollars (the cost of a VHS tape).
[3][6] The show also included remote segments from around the city, which were filmed on-site and incidentally captured much of Atlanta's history on tape, from old cruising trails in Piedmont Park[7][8] to the construction of Freedom Parkway.
"[11] Other notable acts included Jayne County, Lady Bunny, The Fabulous Pop Tarts, The Now Explosion, The Singing Peek Sisters, Lahoma van Zandt, and DJ Larry Tee, among many others.
"[1] The program did not avoid political engagement, either; for instance, in a clip from a 1987 episode, RuPaul and Wanda Peek confront the Ku Klux Klan face-to-face at a rally in Cumming, Georgia.
