Subject: RE: Case Study: Let's Do a Press Kit
Thanks Phil! Wish we would have a chance to jam again, you guys were great fun!

Kat, the "composers don't have to be dead" line was excellent. I would love to come up with a line like that for Ten Penny Bit. It's hard to put us in a category sometimes. We do Celtic, but we have an oldtimey flavor (those KY roots showing!) that keeps us out of most straight Celtic Festivals. We play some bluegrass standards, but again, we're not true bluegrass, so that knocks us out of bluegrass festivals.That's why it's been so hard to come up with a press kit that works.

I'm learning quite a bit already from this thread, so BS or not, it serves a good purpose for gigging musicians (new and old) to learn more about PR.
