"Got a CD? Want National and International Airplay? If So, This Article is For You.
By David Alcock
The Sacramento Blues Society (SBS) has partnered with the top Blues and Blues Rock Internet station, BellyUp4Blues.com (The Belly) to bring the great music and musicians of the Sacramento region to the nation and the world. The Belly is a non-commercial, listener-supported station whose only mission is to preserve and promote the blues. The Belly started as small internet station 6 years ago with only three listener slots, and has exploded in popularity not only in the USA, but the world as well, and has become one of the most popular stations on the Internet with listeners spanning from the west coast to the east coast, to the far reaches of Europe and Asia, and beyond. The Belly literally has listeners on every continent on the globe, and that is the goal of this partnership: to get Sacramento’s music heard around the world.
The Belly specializes in major label and unsigned bands, and has built a catalogue of some the world’s best music. The vast majority of the bands are unsigned. The benefit of being a non-commercial station is that the Belly is free to play anything they want. No A&R guy whispering in anyone’s ear. So your music will be heard across the globe.
How can you help the Sacramento Blues Society, The Belly and yourself? The answer is simple, send us your CD’s, and we will get your music heard. Go to BellyUp4Blues.com and sign up to be on their Artist List, which includes a bio and link to your website. It doesn’t cost a thing, and can done by sending a simple email. The Belly will get your music heard by a global audience; that’s a guarantee. Best of all, ITS FREE. It doesn’t get any better than that.
The SBS and the Belly are dedicated to the same goal: Keeping The Blues Alive. By partnering with organizations such as The Belly, the SBS will only grow stronger and bring this true American art form to new listeners and generations. The Blues in the School program (BITS) is an example of how we are Keeping the Blues alive. BITS partners with local community organizations, school districts, cities, and counties to bring in lecturers, such as Mick Martin and Jimmy Pailer to schools and community centers giving children and teens a good helping of blues, and showing them how the Blues has not only influenced the music they listen to, but society as well. Plant a seed today, and you will have a harvest tomorrow, and that is what BITS does best, planting the seeds of the blues with the next generation.
Volunteers, support from the community, and the support of great people like you keep the SBS and The Belly alive. So please, support the bands, businesses, and organizations that support the Blues, and in return the Blues will support you. You can do this by joining the Sacramento Blues Society and coming to SBS events and jam sessions. These bring in money that is vital to Keepin’ The Blues Alive by funding such programs as Blues in the Schools. In addition, these events bring in economic support for our local economy.
Go to the BellyUp4Blues.com, become a listener, and tell your friends about The Belly. It’s free, easy to do, and best of all, you get to listen to the best blues and blues rock music, including yours that the world has to offer.
