About Me

Imagine walking into a hip little country nightclub. You pull up a chair, order your favorite drink, and just relax while soaking up the atmosphere. While the jukebox plays, you notice the neon beer signs positioned around the room, the framed autographed 8 x 10 pictures of country music stars hanging on the wall, and lots of people getting ready to unwind and have a great time. As the band takes the stage and begins their first set, it doesn’t take long to realize that you are hearing something magical. Incredible songs, an awesome vocalist, and a crowd mesmerized by a band that has that "something special" sound. You and everyone else in the room wonder why this band isn’t playing sold out arenas across the United States and selling millions of CD’s.As a radio station music director, it was always frustrating to receive a great song from a new unknown artist that radio stations just wouldn’t play. It was disappointing for the artist and sad for the music fans, that another great country song would go unheard.Now with the internet, these new unknown artists have a way to get their music heard. And that’s what newcountryzone.com is all about. It’s a place where a country music act can submit their latest release, and have a clip of their song heard by millions. It’s a place where the artists’ website is just a click away, exposing country music fans around the world to new music and new acts. And it’s a place where the country music fan can find new music and new acts on a daily basis. Whether you’re a country music fan or a country music artist, everybody wins.So we welcome you to our hip little country nightclub on the world wide web called newcountyzone.com. It’s open 24/7, so stop in anytime and feel free to just hang out. Pull up a chair, sip on your favorite drink, and get ready to hear the new music first, and let us introduce you to the future stars of country music.
