Americana Radio Promotion and Publicity for Independent Artists and Labels
I'm an Independent Radio Promotions person, working with indie Americana, Texas musicians and Indie Labels. My name is Fred Boenig, I was the PD at WDVR in NJ from '96-'01 and left to help the artists I loved that couldn't afford to hire the "Top Promoters" in that format that ran the chart and the Americana Music Association. Big Kev now is the MD there. Since then, we have made great strides to "Level" the playing field for the Indies. This year was the first year an Indie Artist made .. 1 "Hayes Carll" We charted 5 Indie artists in the Top 10, 4 of which happened in the past year! That may not sound like much but in the 10 years of this format only one indie has ever made number 1. Currently we have the highest percentage of Charting Indies it's just over 90% of our clients chart in the Top 40. No one else is working that amount of "Self Released" artists at that rate. My website is a free resource for you to use. www.AmericanaMediaPro.comOn a more personal note, I retired at 43 and decided to follow my passions, music and radio. I'm currently building a TV studio and have plans to develop a new radio format to help independent "Roots" artists. I do 12 hour of live radio a week. I have two sons Search (20) and Austin (16) both are really nice kids. Hard working and smart each in their own way. I spend much of my time helping radio stations around the country develop their "Americana/Roots Format" as well as record my favorite artists in my "Living Room" studio. We've recorded some great ones, BR549, Buddy Miller, Raul Malo, Slaid Cleaves, Hacienda Brothers, Dan Penn, Rodney Crowell, Hayes Carll, Chip Taylor, Dave Insley, The Blasters, Alicea Nugent, Lisa Hayes, Buck Jones, Michael Oneill, Carrie Rodriguez, Tom Gillam, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Rosie Flores,Red Stick Ramblers, Jay Boy Adams and Will Kimbrough. I love to cook, do yoga and watch "Scrubs". Love to camp and do festivals, Fly Fish and Travel. Not a beach person, but give me a mountain and I'm in heaven. I renovated three homes in the past 5 years and am working on one currently. I love the West, mostly Colorado and Wyoming. Like to watch movies and believe in "Peace". I guess I'm a hippie at heart. ..
