Raw rhythm, gutsy playing, anarchic attitude ... tastefully deranged vocals ... lots of fun ‘ . fRoots Magazine .
Bayou Gumbo have variously followed their ears and hearts into Africa, the blues, the Caribbean, Cajun, zydeco, old-time and country music, R&B… and brought back influences, songs and styles, all feeding back into their rocksy, rootsy drive and punch. All this, mixed and served up with bellows-pumping squeezebox energy, tight and subtle fiddle-bowing, pepper-hot guitar, and a bass and drum rhythm section that kicks dancers’ feet into action, means a band that fills the dance floor. “If you don’t dance to this, you must be dead” Folk Roundabout www.bayougumbo.co.uk
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
Upload artist videos to http://www.MyVideo.de and http://www.ClipFish.de . Both websites are like http://www.YouTube.com and uploading videos is free. The websites are completely in German. If you don’t speak German and need assistance, I will help you open an account and upload a video for 25 Euro. Each additional video upload for the same artist name and at the same video website is 10 Euro.
If you have more questions about the European music market or about any of the information I send to you today, please contact me at Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de too.

I have just started to get the photos from the Leeds Waterfront Festival up onto MySpace. I am currently trying to find a better means of distributing these so I can give access to the high res versions. In the meantime, feel free to use the versions currently on MySpace and just drop me a line if you need the high res version of any of them.
CountryHome Forum have more than 5,800 members. Each news you submit to CountryHome Forum will released to my weekly Newsletter with more than 60,000 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

Hi there, Guys. Just wanted to drop you a line and say that I thoroughly enjoyed your spot at the Leeds Waterfront Festival on Saturday. It was a shame I had to move on before the end of your set, but I hope to catch you again. I have got a few photos from the weekend to go through (just 950 or so), but as soon as I get a chance I'll be posting a selection on here. By then I should have my secure photo sharing sorted out and I'll be able to let you know where to go to download the high res images.
Hoping I get a chance to hear your music again soon.
Hey Bayou Gumbo,
You could definitely win this Greg Bennett guitar contest.
