Mayor Karl Dean and the Nashville Music Council honored Jack White and his Third Man Records with the inaugural Music City Ambassador Award on Saturday, April 16.
“Today’s award recognizes an individual who carries Nashville’s diverse musical message worldwide,” explained Mayor Dean at the ceremony at Third Man Records. “Jack White’s individual talent and unique creative spirit bridges gaps between genres and generations and I couldn’t be more pleased to thank him for his work on behalf of the music industry and its hometown.”
White accepted the honor saying, “Every day we’re excited to be in a city that truly fosters local music and businesses and new ideas. I don’t know another town whose mayor is on the board of its music council.”
Mayor Dean’s co-chair of the NMC, Mary Ann McCready, President of Flood, Bumstead, McCready & McCarthy added, “Jack is a global superstar whose music is successful and celebrated in virtually every genre of music. Jack and Third Man calling Nashville their home is a testament to the city’s creative class.”
The Ambassador Award is voted on by the 50-plus members of the NMC.

 Criteria requires that the recipient be a resident of Middle Tennessee with a career in any branch of the music industry, and demonstrate commitment to Nashville’s unique creative climate and musical diversity.
The Ambassador Award is one of several new initiatives set forth by the Nashville Music Council, which also includes the Entrepreneur Center partnership unveiled last week, and other forthcoming announcements.

    “I don’t know another town whose mayor is on the board of its music council.” — Is that a dig?
    On an other note, what’s up with that jankety podium?
