Thread Name: do's and don'ts in releasing a cd
Subject: RE: do's and don'ts in releasing a cd
Treewind et al...we're doing several CD release events -- both in locations in which we have some listenership and where there are strong "folk" listening communities. Further, both are at venues we have not played before, but are popular with the listening room crowd, so we'll get exposure to new ears (plan, plan, plan...). I also strongly agree with Doc, above -- celebrate your work! invite the press, play your new music for old and new friends alike -- drink a few, laugh a lot, create a scene, make some noise, draw some attention...it's all good.

Dick's comments are also right on the money -- most indie artists will sell most of their product through gigs. Turn a booked gig into a release event for the new project and potentially increase your sales...
