ABOUT JAMIE RODRIGUEZ AKA JROD

Jamie A. Rodriguez is an award-winning executive producer, filmmaker, festival organizer, and podcast curator based in Nashville, Tennessee. As the founder of Jrodconcerts Media, he documents the soul and motion of the music vanguard through interviews, concert films, and other high-fidelity coverage. It’s a lifelong passion that’s taken him around the world, from his childhood roots in Bogotá, Colombia, to his career-launching years as a radio broadcaster in Miami. Now headquartered in Music City, he provides a lens into the cultural moments that define modern music, capturing legacies in the making.

A multi-faceted figure in contemporary music media, Rodriguez began his career in Miami, where he worked as a radio host at Y-100 — one of the longest-running Top 40 stations in the country — during the pre-streaming era. The experience sharped his tools as an interview and media personality, inspiring him to create his own media network during the decade that followed. Launched in 2020, Jrodconcerts Media quickly grew into a national brand, with unique listeners across all 50 states and more than a dozen countries. Meanwhile, Rodriguez’s own life expanded, too, including a pivotal move to Nashville. In a town already flooded with music content, his unique curation immediately stood out, prompting the Nashville Business Journal to place him on the magazine’s esteemed “40 Under 40” list — an annual recognition of the young, emergent leaders making impacts on Nashville’s business and artistic landscapes — before he had even finished his third year in Tennessee.

As a podcaster, Rodriguez has interviewed luminaries like folk icon Judy Collins, Mary Wilson of The Supremes, country-pop superstar Lainey Wilson, actor David Duchovny, Ann Wilson of Heart, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee John Oates, and Grammy nominee Maggie Rose. These conversations — from Zoom interviews to red-carpet exchanges to face-to-face deep dives — capture timeless stories about the artistic process, and can be accessed on a podcast archive that includes more than 600 episodes. Additional snapshots of the musical experience can be be found in the concert films that Rodriguez has written, edited, and produced during the past decade, including FloydFest 21: Odyssey, FloydFest 22: Heartbeat, Moon Taxi: Live at the Windjammer, and Lost Art Music Festival 2021: The Short Film.

A voting member of the Recording Academy and an annual fixture at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductions, the Newport Folk Festival, and the CMA Awards, Rodriguez doesn’t just cover the events that shape today’s industry; he hosts his own, too. After curating his acclaimed AMERICANAFEST Fiesta for two years in Nashville, he built a bridge between Nashville and Miami with 2025’s acclaimed Nashbash, a cross-cultural festival merging Nashville’s musical talent with Miami’s uniquely artistic landscape. As he continues to evolve the scope of Jrodconcerts Media, Rodriguez’s mission remains the same: to champion the art form that has brought so much joy to his own life.
