Nashville Band In Need of Help on the Road
Just got an email from a Nashville band in need of some help. The Delta Saints bus has broken down on their tour and they need help getting it fixed! Here is the email:
Hello Friends,
Today we are launching a campaign to raise money to help save the bus. Due to transmission failure, we need some dough in order to stay on the road and get the ol girl repaired. To make a donation, click here. See the current progress.Any contribution will be rewarded by the corresponding task. If you donate $10, we’ll send you our albums. $15 gets you a t shirt, and so on. If you give $350 you get to name the bus and live on in Delta Saints history. Take a minute and check out our campaign, and donate to help keep us around. Every little bit helps. We’ve also added the Pray On E.P. (2008) to bandcamp. Download a copy now! http://thedeltasaints.bandcamp.com/album/pray-on Consider any of these your personal early Christmas present to the band. Thanks in advance. And for those of you in Lawrence, KS and Jonesboro, AR; we’ll see you this weekend!
Please donate if you can and support these Nashville musicians!
Music Publishers and Labels, Have You Seen the New Orchard?
Labels can now upload large amounts of music, complete with metadata, artwork, and of course audio.
…the real magic comes from the ability to repackage on the fly. So, that means that labels can quickly reorganize tracks into different album bundles, remotely and without having to upload tracks a second (or third or fourth) time. This is an easy way to create retailer exclusives and album variations, something that fits the highly-varied release landscape of today.

How Sound Exchange Works, Getting Paid as an Artist
IndieConnect is always bringing in amazing speakers to discuss the music industry. John Styll, the Founder and CEO of StyllPoint Consulting, a music industry consulting firm, was no different and gave a great presentation about Sound Exchange.
View the video on IndieConnect's website. In the video, John talks about SoundExchange vs the traditional performance royalty services ASCAP and BMI. Where the traditional services pay music publishing houses and songwriters for song play over traditional radio and in public venues, Sound Exchange pays artists for play on digitial mediums such as internet radio or cable music channels.
