Definitely true for this writer :) Happy belated Mother's Day! Hope all you mother's had a beautiful Sunday with family.
Got some cool news today... Cliff Audretch III, head of A&R at major Nashville label, Show Dog / Universal Music accepted a song I wrote with Liv Devine and Gene Micofsky called "Boots"! Listen here: http://mynameisaugust.bandcamp.com/track/boots
We wrote and demoed the song about 3 months ago for the Liv Devine Band. About 3 weeks ago, I had a hunch and told Liv to submit the song along with her press package to Cliff via MusicXRay. "Boots" is a rocking, fun and upbeat, anthem for women... the recording is top-notch and the vocal and instrumental performances are spot on. Long story short, she submitted and he bit! Finally! As you know from reading, Cliff is very particular and a tough critic when it comes to Country music. He's a fantastic A&R rep and at very successful label in Nashville so... keeping fingers crossed this opens another door!!
Great way to start the week. Stay tuned!
CHAPTER 2: NASHVILLE - The purpose of this blog is to network with at least 1 music industry professional every business day for 365 days with the goal of "making it" as a songwriter/recording artist. Below I will document my efforts, successes, failures and lessons learned daily. Stay tuned!
