JPF Home Page Forums General Messages Songwriter Message Forum getting your song heard...

Hi Marc,

My questions:

for the sake of quite a few of us here I was wondering:

1. If we are non-performing songwriters and we can't get to Nashville (although we would if we could) for varied but legitimate reasons ranging from work commitments, caretaking, finances, disabilities, you name it, and we want to pitch our song(s), then given that restriction, what is the next best option to being there. Is pitching to publishers via Songwriters's Market or TAXI our only hope and are they both something you would pursue if hypothetically you could not get to Nashville? Do you know of any personal testimonies where a song got cut as a result of a little brown bubble mailer that reached the right ears at the right time and it was the right song.

2. What about when you have music outside the country genre. Where does one promote music that might fit the adult easy listening genre. Does everything get filtered through Nashville or do people go to New York and LA in person to promote their songs?


My thoughts:

Thanks for offering to hear my questions!!

Best,
Lynn
