First Week of the Whirlwind Radio Tour
Sunday, April 12th, 2009
Hey friends,
This has been an amazing whirlwind week. We started the radio tour and it’s been a lot of late nights and EARLY mornings, but I’m having a blast! Living the dream!!! We started in San Jose then Seattle, Portland, Salt Lake City (hope you checked my mypod station take over!) and finally San Francisco. A city a day! Most mornings I’ve been up by 4:30 and by the time we’ve played the station, had meetings and whatever else, I’m back to my hotel by 12:30 am or so. And then it starts all over again the following day. So not a lot of sleep! (oh the glamorous life of a rockstar!)
I’ve had a killer time at the stations, we’ve gotten great responses! The music biz is in a place like never before. Even 5 years ago our little indie (engine that could) label would not have been able to compete today. We’ve been playing in top 20 radio markets and getting Big For Me added! Our team has been doing cartwheels! It’s still not easy and you have NO IDEA how much you guys help! Calling and requesting Big For Me at your favorite station means everything. If it literally takes us going to every station, playing live and getting to know the peeps at the station, that’s what we’ll do!
I go in to the radio stations and I feel like that guy on the cell phone commercial where he looks up and has all those people with him. That’s how I feel about you guys. We’ve got an army and together, we can do it!
Also, the difference that it makes when you download the single on iTunes (or anywhere else it’s available) is immeasurable, the radio stations really look at that!
I’m listening to the final mixes, and looking at the final pics for the CD this weekend. We’ll be announcing the release date very soon! We’ll also be announcing a contest that will blow your minds!
As always, your comments and messages mean so much. Also, thanks for putting the music up on your personal sites and telling your friends.
I wish you guys could all be with me on these trips so you could see first hand how exciting it is! I hope to see you in a city near you very soon!!
