NASHVILLE --- Finding places to perform and getting paid enough to make it worthwhile has been a perennial problem for serious musicians.
December 31, 2005 (Press Release) --
"Technology has made it possible for bands and musicians to create and perfect their own distinctive sound right in their own garage, basement, or bedroom," said music industry veteran Gary LeMaster. "You can record and burn your own CD, download songs to the Internet – even create your own website to showcase your group."
But, as LeMaster pointed out, "Hard-copy press kits with all the bells and whistles are costly to produce, and they're expensive to mail or overnight to promoters and concert venues."
The need has led to one of the newest innovations to help hungry bands and artists: The online press kit – a virtual agent, if you will – that delivers a slick audio-visual presentation on a group or individual right to the e-mail in-boxes or computer screens of the most relevant venues.
Venues searching for acts can post on the website and access the press kits to find the bands they want to book. Likewise, musicians can e-mail their electronic press kits to potential venues – or whomever else they wish. The result is a virtual marketplace for musical artists and individuals willing to pay for their services.
"There are tons of great Christian artists who don't have access to the marketing machinery to get their names and music into the right hands," explained LeMaster. "And there are a wealth of venues – from churches, to coffee houses, Christian colleges, concert promoters, and Christian music festivals – that are looking for these talents."
Crossdogs also allows members to view performance opportunities from an exclusive list of promoters, churches, festivals, and other venues, and offers them the option of submitting their EDTs to this "A List" of opportunities.
