New Music
Venture Exploits Multiple Genres
(Nashville, Tennessee...) -- April 21, 2010 -- MusicArtists4U.com,
a new online music venture featuring performances by emerging and
established artists and singer/ songwriters from a variety of music
genres, launched April 19, 2010, announced company founder Bruce Uher.
The service will initially include Country, Rock and Singer/Songwriter
channels and will expand to Blues, Gospel, Bluegrass, Polka, Jam Bands
and more.
MusicArtists4U.com will be a one-stop interactive experience featuring
live and taped performances, music videos and the ability for the
consumer to purchase music, videos and artist merchandise. Another
area of the site will facilitate venues across the globe booking the
artists featured on the site. The site will also include an internet
radio station for each genre of music, which will front and back-announce
song titles and artist names along with several different radio programs
and artists interviews.
The site will also consist of an online magazine which will include,
gear reviews, instructional videos by professional players on how
to play musical instruments, online vocal classes and a songwriter
corner where you can learn the craft of songwriting by the pros and
even have your songs critiqued along with many more ideas pertaining
to the music industry.
Uher owns Ohio-based MultiMedia-Interactive and works with such artists
as Charlie Daniels, Confederate Railroad, Tracy Lawrence and others.
His idea for MusicArtists4U.com was born from watching performance
shows like "The Midnight Special," "Don Kirschner's
Rock Concert," "Prime Time Country" and "Pop Goes
The Country." He came up with the initial concept 15 years ago,
but consumers' access to the technology necessary to deliver quality
programming delayed the service's launch.
"Now is the time because almost everyone has access to high speed
internet" states Uher, who has teamed up with musician, engineer,
producer and former Sony Music A&R executive Anthony Martin to
launch the new venture. "The music business is changing, it's
almost impossible for a new or 'legendary' artist to get their music
on radio or television," added Uher. "MusicArtists4U.com
will allow artists of all genres to be seen and heard."
E1/Koch Entertainment, the leading and fastest-growing independent
music company in the U.S., has teamed up with MusicArtists4U.com to
give fans the opportunity to purchase and download music from all
E1/Koch artists. Koch artists Confederate Railroad and Cody McCarver
are now on MusicArtists4U.com, and both acts will be releasing new
music in June.
Longtime WSM radio DJ and Grand Ole Opry announcer Keith Bilbrey has
signed on to host MusicArtists4U.com's country television show. The
Ghoul, famous for his late night horror movie show in the early 70's,
will be the host for the Rock show and Matt "The Moondog Mooney"
will host the Variety Show. Megan Conner will host the Singer/Songwriter
show. The Country show will be filmed on our sound stage at the famous
Sound Kitchen Studios in the "Big Boy Room" and our Singer/Songwriter
shows will be filmed at the Fireside Studio, once owned by the legendary
country music artist Porter Wagoner. Both studios are located in Nashville,
Tennessee.
The Country and Rock television shows will consist of a headlining
act along with two or more up and coming artists and the Singer/Songwriter
shows will be jam packed with famous songwriters from all genres of
music. The Variety show will air from time to time and include different
acts from our shows plus comedy and other forms of entertainment.
Every so often a contest will be held where an artist or band will
have the opportunity to send in a live performance video of an original
song and our panel of music industry judges will narrow the contestants
down to ten artists then those ten videos will be on the site for
the public to cast their votes. The two artists with the most votes
will be invited to come to Nashville and have the opportunity to be
on the same television show with one of our headlining acts.
MusicArtists4U.com will also be taking the show on the road this summer
and will be out at various shows with their artists such as Little
Texas, Waymore's Outlaws (Waylon Jennings original band), and several
others. While on the road they will not only be promoting MusicArtists4U.com
but interviewing fans and filming backstage footage, band interviews
and showing the fans the life on the road as an artist. This will
all be part of the Backstage Area on the site.
Uher also announced Coca-Cola has come on board as a major sponsor
of MusicArtists4U, abd RoadHawg Cases has signed on as a co-sponsor
of the series. More sponsors will be announced shortly.
MusicArtists4U.com is dedicated to music, artists and charitable organizations
such as St. Jude Children's Hospital. A portion of all MusicArtists4U.com
proceeds will be earmarked for those organizations. Throughout each
year, artists involved with the site will be asked to sign and donate
concert memorabilia. MusicArtists4U.com will auction the donated items
and the proceeds will be distributed to various charities at the end
of each year.
