Apologies for not getting to this first thing into the new year. Things have been pretty busy--which is good, but not updating things here is bad.
Anyway, to make up for it we have an update on what's going on with our artists. Let's get right to it!
Stephanie McIlroy--Her first Christmas single, It's Christmas Time, did very well around the world in a very short space of time. Stephanie continues to ride the wave of success with her debut single, Forever. It's now being played on over 120 radio stations in over 30 countries around the world--including Japan, New Zealand, Australia, France, Sweden, Germany, Italy, USA and Canada. Stephanie performed on New Years Eve in Niagara Falls Canada's big show featuring Simple Plan. Steph played to over 40,000 people that night. Big things on the way for this lady!
The Broad River Band--Fort Worth Texas ought to be proud of these guys! They wrapped up 2011 with two hit singles from their debut CD, Country Singer. On January 9th, The Broad River Band launched their new single, More Than Just A Good Time. This is the third track to be released from Country Singer and--in just 4 days--have been added on 21 radio stations around the world. Cowboy Bob Fisher, the band's founder, is busy working the Fort Worth Rodeo for the next little while!
Aaron Pritchett--continues to add stations after 14 weeks at international radio with his latest hit, Coming Clean. This is Aaron's second international release from In The Driver's Seat. The video for the song is getting airplay on CMC, The Country Music Channel in Australia. We hear rumors of a new single from Aaron late this month? Check his website for details!
David St. Germain--David is new to the international radio scene, although no stranger to international audiences. Come Home was released internationally on January 9th and is already on 55 stations around the world--not including his native Canada. Lots of great feedback coming in on the single too. Watch for big things to happen with David!
One Soul Thrust--the first act to be handled by MapleStar Music & Media. One Soul Thrust hit rock radio around the world on New Years Day and are starting to build with We Gotta Change, the first single from their second album, Know One Knows (available February 14). Radio stations can download the single at AirPlay Direct or contact us for copies. One Soul Thrust is now being heard on radio stations in Australia, Netherlands, Norway, Canada, UK, France and the USA. If you're not hearing One Soul Thrust on your favorite rock radio station, let them know that you want your 1ST! Visit www.onesoulthrust.com to check out the video for We Gotta Change.
The Western Swing Authority--Canada's answer to The TimeJumpers! This all-star band is playing western swing in the Bob Wills tradition. Their regular shows at The Commercial Tavern resume this week. Visit their website for details.
Lots of great things are going to be happening this year...stay tuned for details! As always, thanks for your support of these great artists...
