Many radio stations and
local cable channels air programs that showcase local
musical talent. Some artist's will perform live in the
studio, while others simply play their demo's over the
air-waves. This type of program usually consists of an
interview with the artist and a live or recorded
performance of their music. The listeners or viewers are
usually given an opportunity to interact with the music
guests. College
radio stations often run programming of this type, and
many will include your demo on their play list!
In order to appear on
this type of program you don't need a recording contract
of any kind!
Typically, the only
requirements to appear on this type of a show are...
- A good quality demo
tape/CD - some radio stations may ask for your master
DAT. (Most won't play cassettes!)
- A biography or fact
sheet listing information about your act.
- A song-list and
lyric sheets. (List the running times of each song
included on your demo.)
- Your personal
contact information.
Frequent guest
appearances on these shows can give your career a
tremendous boost! They're also a GREAT way to "plug"
(promote) upcoming performances!
To be considered for
this type of show, simply call the station that airs
this type of program and ask to speak with the shows'
producer. This producer will let you know exactly what
you have to do to be a guest on their program.
Good luck!
