Sounds Like
Mountain music that burys you under an avalanche of notes! Old-time banjo music for the new millenium.
--"Like a cold northern wind coming down from Canada, T.J.'s banjo playing will give you chills"! ~~"I never heard anyone frail so fast in all my life!" ~~-"He breathes new life into old-time clawhammer banjo picking." ~~"when you see him play live ,try to keep an eye on his right hand;it's like trying to keep up with a hummingbird's wings!" ~~"He plays so fast even lightening is jealous!" ~~Well,that`s what some people have said about my playing.I have spent half my life playing the banjo, and when I am not performing, I work as a Whitewater River Guide.I l love the great outdoors, playing music and travelling.I am fortunate to do what I love & love what I do(as for love,well...).For those who would like to go rafting with yours truly as a guide, contact www.azurrafting.com and request "TURTLE" as your guide to go down the wild Riviere Rouge on the Quebec-Ontario broder.
~~Last year ,with the help of some amazing pickers and singers I recorded my debut CD called `MOUNTAIN CALLING,it`s a collection of original and traditional songs that belongs in every banjo lover`s CD collection (and who in their right mind doesn`t love the happy sound of the banjo- it`s not just for hillbillies anymore!) It's a diverse collection of tunes that will surely get your toes a-tapping and you a-grinnin' ~~ I play with several bands besides doing my song-and-dance solo show,which is reminiscent of the late great John Hartford.. Ì am currently very proud to be a member of a hot country rock band called `DESERT HEAT`(myspacemusic/desertheat); a great bunch of guys that will definately be your next favorite band (I even boldly go where few banjo players go by pluggging my banjo through a wah-wah pedal with these guys- bet ya can`t wait to hear that!) Keep an ear open for them & check them out. I also back up a trio called `YONDER HILL`(myspacemusic/yonderhill); 3 lovely ladies who sing like angels and write country and bluegrass songs that must be heaven sent, they're a joy to listen to (and play with) and will be the next darlings of the bluegrass world. Recently, I just formed "the ROYAL MOUNTAIN RAMBLERS" who do good time music the old time way; we play your favorite rock'n'roll songs but in a old-time/bluegrass stringband style! a foot-stomping, roof-raising, head-banging, yeehaw-yelling hell of a good time! ~~They say that music makes the world go round well banjos provide the happy sound that makes sure you smile while it's spinning! banjo players of the world unite! support your favorite 5-string frailer. Remember to dance when you walk and sing when you talk.
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
