On the rocky shores of a small Kentucky lake, a wood trimmed home rests among autumn-clothed oak trees and the cool whistle of a Sunday breeze. An eleven something girl rests her hands against a rusty stove and belts a timid tune to her solemn kitchen audience of two. Her back is turned away from them.
Forward 17 years…
Erica Martin approaches her latest venue in Louisville. Her now well-traveled name illuminates the entrance and a parking lot neglect of space. The once apprehensive little girl confronts a Budweiser audience with envious confidence and a surge of southern vocals, a product of umpteen venues and all hour jam sessions.
It’s been said that the courage to continue is what counts. Not so for Erica. Her fans are unwillingly captivated by her grass roots personality and countrified instinct to identify with everyday life.
As a hometown neighbor to country legend John Michael Montgomery, locals were not surprised at her dominance of his very own “Battle of the Bands”. She has been privileged to open venues for him as well as recently record in brother Eddie Montgomery’s (Montgomery Gentry) personal studio. 3 of the 5 songs released on this site were personally produced by John.
Within the ever-changing waves of country music, there is a constant desire from its listeners and leaders. Innovate. Work harder. Be different. The anthems of an industry at the heart of American culture, littered with blue-collar heroes and big city dreams.
If it’s true that country music was made on small town legends, then Nashville has a new story to tell. Enter Erica Martin.
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.
