Adam Hill is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. He started writing in highschool on a fourtrack in Kingston, Tennessee crafting country flavored pop rock. In the late 1990's he fronted Knoxville's The Satellite Pumps. This band was rock a billy, honky tonk and bluegrass mixed to a hot under the collar pitch. Th' Pumps met with wide critical aclaim and label interest from Bloodshot Records, other labels and Artist Management Groups. The band split up before a deal was signed or a record waxed due to internal affairs. After that Adam fronted Knoxville's Raggeddettes a mostly Jug Band Blues and Bluegrass band and put out the album LO-FI GOODBYE (a mix of pop, country, rock n roll) on S&L Records to critical acclaim for his songwriting. After that he moved to NYC and played guitar and wrote for Second Manassas (the drum machine gospel tent revival) with Rob Matthews. After 2 years he ended up in Nashville and fronted the country rock flavored The Old Flames with Gerald Dowd and Harlowe Bolinger (The Lower Broads)-With interest from publishing companies like Americana Music (Larry Shell) and Bro n Sis Adam wrote and recorded "Willingness" a 4 track folk blues indie record (that features back ground vox from Chelle Rose and Elizabeth Cook and was mixed by Steve Mabee Engineer for Legendary Shack Shakers) made in his Belmont Blvd apartment. Adam from 2005-2007 had a band called The Sunday Best that mixed his rock n roll bluegrass sound with pop flavored honky tonk and wistful winsome ballads. While part of the generation of songwriters that includes Rhett Miller, Ryan Adams and Scott Miller he has never met with the wide audience of these writers but often draws comparisons to them. Adam is the author of "Leona Barnett" made famous by Chelle Rose.
He co-wrote "Get in Line Caroline" with Greg Parker. His song "Magnolia" appears for 8 seconds on MTV's Made. The Boston band Starhick did mostly covers of Adam Hill songs.
I’ve been a music journalist for more than 10 years. Over the years, many artists and managers have asked me what the best way to break into the European music market is.
Here are some things you can do:
Publish artist press releases, news, and tour dates to the CountryHome Forum on MySpace, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , CountryHome Forum is part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine. Everything you publish to the CountryHome Forum will be published in my weekly Newsletter which has over 80,000 readers.
Send me CDs and DVDs for review and set up an artist interview with me. All reviews and interviews will be submitted to the magazines I'm writing for. More information for which magazines I'm writing can be found at http://www.MySpace.com/ChristianLamitschka

CountryHome Forum have more than 5,000 members. Each news you submit to CountryHome Forum will released to my weekly Newsletter with more than 50,000 readers.
Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.
I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
Christian
