Ralf Buschmeyer

This week in our Talent Showcase.......Ralf Buschmeyer



Ralf Buschmeyer's latest venture is a musical tribute to some
of his deepest influences. The album 'EST 1968' features 10
original compositions that range from swamp blues to reggae groove.

Although Buschmeyer is best known across Canada as predominantly a
jazz master, 'EST 1968' is more blues influenced. "This album is a
tribute to all the artists who’ve influenced me since I started
playing music," says Buschmeyer. These artists include greats such
as Steely Dan, Ray Charles, James Brown, John Scofield and Stevie Wonder.
The album captures the groves of these great musicians.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

We have updated our site with 4 New Videos and 8 New Artists be sure
to stop by, check out Ralf Buschmeyer and all the fresh new music!

Rock On!

What a week!

A lot of things occurred this week that keep making i Like 2 Rock Radio the place to be for Indie Artists and anyone looking for Great New Music!

Yesterday I added 8 new artists to our site bringing us close to 150 Artists that we promote for FREE!

I also added 4 videos to the Video Vault yesterday boosting that total to 34.

Within the last 24 hours I have received 6 emails from bands wanting to know how to appear on our site or to get their music played on the radio.

I also conversed with the Author of Collecting Vinyl Records who sent me a copy of his eBook. We exchanged links on our sites, but what I think most importantly, he really loved our site and all the "New Music" we have available right at his finger tips. He is writing articles for a site called Gemm.com and he said he is going to start reviewing Artists from our site and posting it on Gemm.
This means MORE FREE EXPOSURE for the Artists that appear on i Like 2 Rock Radio!
And I must say, if you are a Vinyl Collector, his ebook has so much information and valuable resources for the collector, that makes it a "Must Have" for your music library.

Another one of the emails I received is from USA 12th Annual Songwriting Competition that is offering up over $50,000 worth of prizes. You can check out their site for all the details.

With all the responses we have been getting, and not just by our regular channels, but from all the new resources that are coming to us, it only goes to tell us one thing. What we are doing is working!

We are committed to making i Like 2 Rock Radio the best site and Radio Station on the net for Artists and Music Lovers, and the best part, we do it for FREE!!

Be sure to drop by Tomorrow for our Talent Showcase Artist of the week!

Rock On!

Maiden of Iron

Sara "Mini Murray" Marsh of The Iron Maidens hobbled off the stage.
The Maidens were well into playing "The Number of The Beast" when
Sara's guitar went silent as she quickly hobbled off the stage.
With a few moments of witty banter by Aja, trying to grasp what was
happening, Sara then re-emerged in the arms of our wonderful crew
who brought her out with some chairs to sit on and propped her leg
up topped with a bag of ice and finished the set with a freshly
detached Achilles tendon! OUCH!
Anybody who has experienced this knows the extreme pain associated
with this type of injury, and one look at Sara's face spoke a million
words of what she was dealing with. What a lady! What a Trooper!

For those that may not be familiar with "The Iron Maidens" they are the
world's only female tribute band to Iron Maiden.

We feature the Maidens on our site and play their songs on our station.
Be sure to drop by our site and check them out sometime.

Up The Irons!

I'm Heading to Las Vegas

I will be heading to Las Vegas at the end of the month on business.

This will be my second trip to this city with amazingly rich entertainment.

I will be in Las Vegas for 2 weeks working on a business project, and I am hoping that I will have time to go out in the evenings and check out some local rock bands.

I am not the type of person that goes to see the big headliners that Las vegas is know for. I am more into finding good local talent to rock out to and hopefully get a chance to talk to them about getting some air time on our radio station.

If you Live in Las Vegas or a travel band playing Vegas the first 2 weeks in may, drop me a line and let me know where you will be playing at, and a link to hear some of your music before I head out, and if I get the time, I will come see you play and introduce myself between sets.

If this trip goes well for me, I might be looking for a second home in Las Vegas as it might be cheaper than a hotel.

I came across this MLS listings for Las Vegas if anyone else is interested in finding property.

See You in Las Vegas!!

Today I happened across a site that has over 2000 Unsigned World Bands.

They have every genre possible, they have even broken down my favorite genre "Metal" into multiple categories, Death Metal, Black Metal, Metal and so on.

I signed up for a free listener account at World Bands and listening to some awesome killer bands and read more information about these bands.
