“The Josh Jackson Band makes great, uplifting rock & roll with a lot of heart and a lot of craft. This music will move you…”
David Wild, Contributing Editor, Rolling Stone Magazine
Lead singer Josh Jackson came to Nashville in 1989 to attend college. Little did he know that it was music that would keep him there. Concentrating on songwriting and performing, Jackson founded two popular groups in the early nineties before pulling together his most successful band to date, The Josh Jackson Band.
The Josh Jackson Band, featuring Josh Jackson on lead vocals and acoustic guitar; Locke Sandahl on lead guitar and background vocals; Jason Hollis on bass and background vocals; and Kris Crawford on drums; has a unique style derived from their many musical influences. Their self-titled album, a blend of power pop, roots rock and acoustic grooves, showcases Jackson’s talent for writing powerful songs. The end result is an edgy sound that people relate to – a sound that sets The Josh Jackson Band apart from the cookie cutter bands that dominate the industry today.
While The Josh Jackson Band is often compared to such big name acts as Vertical Horizon, Sister Hazel, and Train, it’s their unique musical flair and reputation for energetic live shows that has won them their own fans. And, people are taking notice. The Josh Jackson Band was voted Best New Band and Best Local Rock Band by the Nashville Scene’s 2002 “Best Of” Reader’s Poll, an honor that comes as quite a surprise to the pop/rock quartet. “I never would have thought we could be honored in this way,” says leader singer, Josh Jackson. “Our friends and fans in the Nashville community have always been supportive, but this is the ultimate in recognition.”
While the band appeals to local music lovers, the group has also found friends all over the map. The positive nature of The Josh Jackson Band’s material has gained them fans from over 15 states as well from different countries such as India, Holland, and the U.K. And, while it’s fun being recognized with accolades and having fans across the world, the band never loses sight of its purpose. “I was always brought up that whatever you do, it should have a purpose. If we are going to go out there and play music, I want people to get something out of it as well as enjoy the music,” says Jackson.
The Josh Jackson Band knows where it’s been and where it’s going, and they won’t stop until they’ve reached their ultimate goal – to touch as many people as possible through their music. ..Bling MySpace Editor
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.
Advertise in the following print magazines in Germany: Living Line Dance, reporting about line dance and country music, and Folk Magazin, reporting about folk and country music.

Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!
There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.
Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."
And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."
Today I would like to ask you if you like to help me to support country music.

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
