My Interests

I'd like to meet:

ATTENTION BANDS - BEFORE SENDING ME A MESSAGE... Please don’t ask me to review your band on triplejunearthed.com and please don’t ask me to listen to your new song on Myspace and give you feedback and please dont send messages like We're wondering if we can get our song played on your show? if so, what do we need to do? . I get 10-20 of these requests a day and just don’t have the time to do it. Sorry if this seems harsh but Roots n All is a 1 lady operation, I dont have a producer/assistant or anyone else to help me listen to all the music coming in. If you want your song played on Roots n All send me a CD. I'll take a listen and if it's good, it will get played on the radio. Simple. Sarah
