Club Connection Venue Tour!
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008 | Uncategorized | No Comments
AristoMedia’s Marco Club Connection wants to remind you that Country Dance Clubs are still going strong long after the days of “Achy Breaky Heart” have passed!
As usual, we have a lot planned for this month! We are excited to bring you new music, our first ever venue tour and special bar promotions sponsored by Piedmont Distillers.
First, the big news is that our first ever Club Connection Venue Tour kicked off a couple weeks ago in Knoxville, TN! The idea behind this tour is for us at Club Connection to build a more personal relationship with our club owners, DJs and Dance Instructors, as well as to shoot footage of patrons enjoying our music. Each weekend through December I’ll be visiting different clubs and conventions, so be sure to read our blog to catch up on our recent trips to Cotton Eyed Joe and Kickers Country Club and to stay up-to-date on future club visits.
Now, on to some of our artists…
Over the past couple weeks Matt Stillwell has been up and down the East Coast visiting radio stations and promoting his new single “Shine.” While Stillwell is focusing on his radio tour, Club Connection has been busy organizing 35 individual ‘Shine Parties,’ sponsored by Piedmont Distillers and Catdaddy Carolina Moonshine. These parties will be held around the country over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
Charlie Allen’s newest single, “Why Ask Why,” is quickly starting to pick up steam. After only a few weeks of promotion, the single is getting play in over a hundred clubs and dance halls across the nation! Last week we also sent out a line dance written by Ginny Allen that is beginning to draw attention within the dance community.
Club Connection is also proud to announce the remixed single of “Livin’ The Good Life” by Daniel Smith. This new version is being mastered and duplicated as we speak and will be sent out to clubs early next week. For a sneak preview, stop by our myspace page.
Up-Coming Releases
Two weeks ago I stopped into the Rutledge here in Nashville for a River County CD release party. I was standing in line and soon realized the band had shipped 45 of their most loyal fans down from Indianapolis to be present for the event. The excitement and energy surrounding this performance was infectious! I ended up meeting the band and seeing firsthand what compelled so many wonderful people to support this young group. I was eager to work with them and am now proud to announce that Club Connection will be releasing River County’s new single “We’re All Here” later this month!
San Diego natives are familiar with our up-and-coming projects from Married by Elvis. Mike Brown from InCahoots Dance Club is eager to get his hands on the new dance remixes of “Sin City” and “My Inlaws Are Outlawed.” Keep your eyes and ears out for these exciting releases.
Abby Abbondanza, former lead singer of The PovertyNeck Hillbillies, will be releasing his new full-length album Promised Land to clubs later this month. Club Connection has felt the buzz and is looking forward to the response from this energetic frontman’s debut release!
