NOMINATED FOR THE 2007 UK COUNTRY RADIO AWARDS
The Big River Bandits, formerly The Big River Band are featured artist on djkhbwradio for the month of June.
Thank you DJ Linda! - check her out on: http://hometown.aol.co.uk/djkhbwradio.<>
The Big River Band started out as a function band in 2003 and the original members still continue to work for their private and corporate clients as such. Now known as TheBig River Function Band.
Founder members, Renee & Gerry prefer to concentrate on their country band, which is becoming more and more popular.
We play country rock, country swing, bluegrass, rockabilly and traditional country music.
We're a pretty versatile band and try to appeal to young and old, line dancers, freestyle dancers and listeners, and build our repertoire accordingly.
We love to play our own material, but we know that there is a wide audience out there who love to listen to more traditional country music as well as the new country styles. So when we're booked at country clubs we play our own style of music along with plenty of covers, new and old, so that we can play something for everyone. We also write and perform some lovely traditional style country songs and ballads as well as our more rocky material and they seem to be very popular.
Our original songs are receiving radio airplay in The UK, throughout Europe & Australia, and internet radio play, worldwide. The band is featured on a Monday night country show on a local radio station.
We're all very experienced singers and musicians and have played in many different bands over the years covering almost every genre. Jazz, pop, rock, blues, soul and country. But it's the country music that appeals to us the most.
Ken and Renee were in a country rock band together for 3 years some time ago and she feels that her performance and writing has been influenced by some of the great female artists she covered then and still covers now.
Our first album will be released later this year and we're hoping to do a tour soon after, visiting the towns and countries where songs from the album have already been played.
We'd love to hear from anyone who can help us to secure work in The UK, Ireland, the rest of Europe and The USA.
Thank you for adding my new author page. I have a couple songs from the soundtrack on the player, but I link my music page for more songs. My fiction novel with a CD soundtrack is due out in a few weeks, (available to order by January 3rd.). It will be at CD Baby, Amazon, Barnes & Noble , and links at my web pages, etc. Keep in touch.
Wishing you a great musical week, a happy holiday season, and a prosperous new year. Hope all your projects are on track.
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.

Today I would like to let you know about two print magazines in Germany I'm writing for.
"Living Line Dance", reporting about line dance and country music, and "Folk Magazine", reporting about folk and country music. The magazines are high respected in Europe. They offer you a good chance to publicize yourself in Europe and Germany.
For more information, please contact me at MySpace or send email to Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de with the headline "Advertise at Living Line Dance and Folk Magazine".
Thank you for adding Song Hookers. This year we still have our nominations open for our second annual "Best of The Web Talent" search. You may want to check it out at songhookers.com and consider a submission.
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
