Howdy, after touring with Alabama for 18 years I’m finally getting to do a few things at home. It’s great to be a civilian and nice to be off the road! I can’t complain about the Alabama days or the band—it was always great to be on the road with them. When I first started with the guys in 1987 I really thought that my Alabama gig would last a year or two—well that just shows you not only how good the songs, the guys and the management were and but how great the Alabama fans are! Somehow 18 years later that last farewell date in Bismarck, ND came and went—an end to an incredible era!
Since I’ve been home I’ve been working mainly with my daughter, Jennifer Hanson. If you see her live I’ll be the old guy in the back—I’m not sure that I’m plugged in or even in the house mix but just humor me—I’m just proud to be out with my kid.
I still play with Alabama’s Jeff Cook, working with Cook & Glenn and the AGB Band. Jeff and Mitch have a single soon to be released on Lofton Creek Records.
Also, I’m playing with Tim Briggs when I’m out in LA. I played with Tim back in the 90’s, on his first CD, with his live band and together on the road with Alabama. Tim’s writing is as great as ever—check out his MySpace and hear a few of his new songs.
The last couple of years I’ve been in the studio recording for many different projects. I’ve had the chance to not only play guitar but the Hammond B3 which I love doing! I’m also writing and recording for Crew 22, a production company here in Nashville.
During my career I’ve had the honor to work with these artist and groups:
Alabama,
The Righteous Brothers,
Bill Medley,
Jennifer Hanson,
Gretchen Wilson,
Kenny Chesney,
Jim Nabors,
Darlene Love,
Mark Nesler,
Bob Gulley,
Dick Dale,
Tim Briggs,
MeKenna Medley,
The Midnighters,
Little Anthony,
Maureen McDonald,
The Bait Brothers,
Dan Carlin,
Jerry Quary (yeah—the boxer),
Cook & Glenn and the AGB,
Randy Owen,
Teddy Gentry,
Great Plains,
The Sauna Boys,
The Skylar Brothers,
Bim Bam,
Madness,
Taxi Dancer,
Rainbow,
The Racque,
The Human Zoo—thanks for visiting my site. Larry Hanson
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.

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
