Hey folks! So I have sent press packages to many many radio stations in Canada
as part of the promotion process for my upcoming release. As any musician knows
radio playlist rotation is some of the best exposure that a musician can ask for
when promoting a new album and hoping to gather new fans, get your messages
heard, gain national exposure and ultimately sell CD’s and music downloads.
College and Universities are the key for independent musicians like myself. You
have to make some serious playlists on the campus and community radio circuit
before any mainstream radio station will even consider your music. So this is
the first step for promotion of this new release and this is where you come in.
Now that the stations listed below have received my CD and their music director
has electronically catalogued the entire CD it is available to be played by the
individual hosts of radio shows by that station. Its best if you track down a
specific host of a show and request it specifically but its not required. All
you have to do at this point is throw some attention my way with regard to
telephone or email requests of my NEW CD “Never Too Late” and that should
get the ball rolling. If there are no requests put forth then the CD will most
likely just sit on the shelf at the station for two years untill they get
recycled. Obviously this is not what I want to see happen to my heart and soul
costly investment. Personally for me Radio Playlist selection/achievement is one
of the main reasons I do what I do with regard to my music and I truly hope that
you will pick up the phone and call a few numbers and just say “Hi there I was
hoping you would play something from Kit Cairns’ New CD “Never Too Late.” You
dont even have to request a specific song or be a regular listener. Most of
these stations have very short range frequencies but ofcourse all have live
obline broadcasts via the internet so you can listen via their website. Here is
the track listing of my new CD if you do wish to request a specific
song:
NEVER TOO LATE
BY KIT CAIRNS
1. Friday Night
2. Four
O’Clock
3. Somedays
4. Journey
5. The Wagon
6. Good Girl
7. Come Home
8. Sunny Days (Instrumental)
9. Out Of Wack
10. For The Show
11. Good Girl (Dirty Version)
12. Bill One Fifteen
13. Start Tonight
As far as I am concerned some of My best work on the CD includes
“Friday Night” “For The Show” “Good Girl” and “Bill One Fifteen” but I think
they are all pretty good (ofcourse I am bias).
Anyway I really do hope you will phone a few stations over the next few weeks to get the ball rolling. If you can manage calling a couple of different ones every few days that would be great. It would only take a couple of minutes. Email works too and
I have provided those for you but direct contact with the DJ/Host is always
best. If you get a voicemail just leave a message. If no-one answers its because
they are probably on the mic and cant answer right that second so try again in a
few minutes. If you have a ton of time on your hands call the whole list. I
really need your support here. And again you dont have to leave the comfort of
your own home just dial a few numbers. Heck try even sending a text.
The following list is categorized by Province. Try to spread your love between a few
different provinces. If everything goes well here I can move on to the United
States campus Radio and then well…… I can dream can’t I…..
Your support is really appreciated. Hope you can help me out.
CHEERS
Much
Love
KIT
