SINGLE MUSIC Launches New Marketing Tool BOOSTLINKS: Bundling For the Streaming Age

SINGLE MUSIC

LAUNCHES NEW MARKETING TOOL

BOOSTLINKS:
BUNDLING FOR THE STREAMING AGE

CEO + ENTREPREUNEUR/MUSICIAN
TOMMY STALKNECHT SHARES DETAILS IN Q&A

SINGLE MUSIC was designed by musician and CEO Tommy Stalknecht to empower artists and labels to directly sell their merch and music with ease while making the most revenue. To further help artists achieve success, the company has developed a new marketing tool to drive follows, subscribes and pre-saves called BoostLinks. The tool allows artists to create a customizable landing page that combines their physical merch with pre-adds, saves and streaming links to increase fan engagement, follows and subscribes. With every purchase, the fan receives an email further ‘boosting’ whichever various channels they choose to promote. Further details can be found here: sn.gl/boost-launch.

Find out more about BoostLinks in the below Q&A with Stalknecht:

SINGLE MUSIC continues to keep growing and is now offering a new marketing tool, BoostLinks, which drives follows, subscribes and shares. Can you talk about how this will benefit both the fans, record labels and the artists who use SINGLE MUSIC?

“As the industry shifts to a streaming-first model, it’s important to update familiar tools like bundling for the new paradigm. Unlike iTunes’ halcyon days where one store carried 80% of the market, streaming has many major & minor players. Fans need a simple way to save or add music to whichever service they prefer.

“Through BoostLinks, artists can create a shareable landing page to promote their music across all platforms. They can also proactively market to fans who make a purchase from their store. Bundling digital albums with physical merch is nothing new but bundling a pre-save or follow with merch is. Artists and labels can even promote niche locations like TikTok, Patreon, Twitch & branded playlists–growing both their streaming plays and revenue.”

What inspired SINGLE MUSIC to come up with Boostlinks? Was it something your clients were asking for?

“Looking at trends in the industry, it’s clear that current initiatives center around pre-adds/saves of singles and albums. While d2c digital distribution & bundling remain a core service of Single, our mission is to create tools that benefit artists and their bottom line. We saw a gap in the market around a very common promotional tactic, and thought about ways it could be updated for the streaming-era.”

You are truly making it easier for musicians, who use SINGLE MUSIC, to create and tour by streamlining the process of selling music and merch to their fans. Since you are a musician yourself, can you shed some light on how musicians can benefit from this?

“It’s no secret that the majority of revenue an artist makes comes from touring and merchandise sales. While it’s unfortunate that artists are making less from their art, new technologies are stepping in–like Single & Shopify–to help artists maximize other revenue streams. Unlike platforms that take 10% of physical revenue in perpetuity, Shopify supports merch sales with a flat monthly fee –and Single monetizes direct-to-fan digital sales at less than half the cost of iTunes. Not only do artists keep drastically more money with this model, they have access to an incredible amount of data to help inform things like tour locations & sales strategies.”

###

Aligned with Shopify, SINGLE MUSIC continues to expand boundaries with their innovative app that allows direct-to-consumer sales as well as being the first and only Shopify app to offer BuzzAngle reporting–a new daily sales reporting system that is utilized by the new Rolling Stone Charts. The feature will be included at no additional cost with all digital and physical sales reporting which already includes instant reporting to Nielsen for official Billboard chart tallying.

SINGLE MUSIC now has over 900 artists currently signed up for their service, including Lil Peep, Sheck Wes, Toro Y Moi, Chromeo and newcomers T-Pain, Aaron Lewis and Lil Pump. They have also aligned themselves with many top merchandising companies such as Live Nation Merch, Futureshirts, The Hyv, Absolute Merch, Top Drawer Merch and more.

SINGLE MUSIC has confirmed over 150,000 digital albums purchased and 275,000 total sales reported to Soundscan including Gillian Welch‘s Oscar nominated single “When A Cowboy Trades His Spurs For Wings,” along with Billboard #1 albums from Thirty Seconds to Mars, Kacey Musgraves, Peter Hollens, For King & Country and John Prine.

COLT FORD Releases “SLOW RIDE” As Latest Single and Lyric Video

DT: AUGUST 8, 2019

FM: MITCH SCHNEIDER/LYNDIE WENNER, SRO PR

COLT FORD

RELEASES “SLOW RIDE”

AS LATEST SINGLE AND LYRIC VIDEO

FROM HIS UPCOMING ALBUM,

“WE THE PEOPLE VOLUME 1”

COLT TO PERFORM

AT THE GRAND OLE OPRY IN NASHVILLE

ON SEPTEMBER 17

Country rap pioneer and million-selling artist COLT FORD tomorrow (August 9) releases “Slow Ride” as the latest single from his seventh album WE THE PEOPLE VOLUME 1 (Average Joes Entertainment) due out this fall. The song’s lyric video, featuring footage of FORD on tour, premiered today at Billboard.

On the groove-driven song, FORD raps alongside guest vocals by country artist Mitchell Tenpenny to create a seriously infectious blend.

Notes Billboard: “‘Slow Ride’ features Ford’s unique blend of country storytelling and urban production with his rapid fire lyrics, a thumping bass beat and Tenpenny’s sultry falsetto…With soaring fiddle parts, infectious beats and a seamless blend of Ford and Tenpenny’s distinct singing styles, ‘Slow Ride’ instantly captivates.”

Says FORD: “I wrote ‘Slow Ride’ with Taylor Phillips, Josh Mirenda, Jared Sciullo and Justin David Bertoldie, who plays fiddle in my band. I just love the way this song makes me feel, it takes me to a happy place and Mitchell’s voice is Amazing. It gets ya hooked quick I think and you wanna roll the windows down, turn it up and head down the road “

“I’ve been a Colt Ford fan for a long time,” says Mitchell Tenpenny, “so when I got the call it was a no brainer.”

The pre-save link for “Slow Ride” is here.

“Slow Ride” follows the first single, the anthemic and driving “We The People,” from FORD‘s upcoming album. The song’s video was world premiered in June on CMT (http://averagejoesent.co/WeThePeople_Video), which also published FORD‘s moving essay, “We the People: Thoughts About Finding Common Ground,“ about the need for unity: http://www.cmt.com/news/1808212/colt-ford-advocates-for-unity-in-we-the-people/

FORD and his band are currently touring the country this summer, with a special appearance set for September 17 at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville alongside Dillon Carmichael, Mark Wills, The Mavericks and more. The entire line up will be announced the week of the show. Tickets are on sale now here.

RICKIE LEE JONES Announces Additional U.S. Shows

DATE: AUGUST 1, 2019

FROM: MARCEE RONDAN/MITCH SCHNEIDER

RICKIE LEE JONES

ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL SHOWS IN SUPPORT

OF ‘KICKS’ ALBUM

U.S. SHOWS KICK OFF IN OCTOBER

EUROPEAN DATES TO FOLLOW

Photo credit: Nicole L. Galinson

Following recent U.S. dates which wrapped July 20 in Los Angeles, singer, songwriter and musician RICKIE LEE JONES is planning another run of shows before she heads to Europe for shows in the fall. The latest shows kick off October 7 in Asheville, NC and wrap October 23 in Minnesota. The European tour launches October 27 with a festival appearance at the Bluesfest at O2 Arena in London. RICKIE LEE’s tour dates follow the release of KICKS, her newest collection of songs from the great American songbook, which was released in June.

Check out a live clip of “Nagasaki,” the second single from KICKS. For her version of the song–which was first performed by the Ipana Troubadours in 1928 and was most famously recorded by the Benny Goodman Quartet in 1952–JONES gives the track a traditional jazz offering of tight three-part harmonies.

Here’s some early critical feedback from RICKIE LEE JONES’ recent live shows:

“…a joyously wondrous evening with one of America’s greatest living singer-songwriters…Jones enchanted an audience with a repertoire that was remarkably diverse in sound and style…Jones consistently made magic with her three-piece band.”

–Peter Blackstock, AUSTIN 360, 6-23-19

“Rickie Lee Jones shows Marina Del Rey the live jazzy style that made her famous…on a clear summer night, Jones played a range of jazzy bebop style tunes and kept the crowd enthralled with a voice that is still as youthful as when she recorded the 1979 hit ‘Chuck E’s In Love.’ She’s spunky and funky and fun.”

–Donna Balancia, CALIFORNIA ROCKER, 7-20-19

On KICKS RICKIE LEE JONES spans two decades (50s-70s) of pop, rock and jazz, presenting her unique and sophisticated interpretations of these songs. JONES is that rare musician who has transcended the singer/songwriter mantle by incorporating different radio genres from the get-go and she continues that tradition on the forthcoming album. It is fitting that one of the American treasures of songwriters should be comfortable with this diverse collection of the great songwriters of the 20th century. KICKS was created entirely in New Orleans, using local musicians,mixers and studios. Produced by RICKIE LEE JONES with her bandmate, vibraphonist Mike Dillion, it features 10 songs of a highly infectious nature.

RICKIE LEE JONES’ tour dates are as follows:

DATE		LOCATION	VENUE
THU	8/15	North Stonington, CT	Jonathan Edwards Winery
FRI	8/16	Boston, MA	City Winery Boston
SAT	8/17	Riverhead, NY	Suffolk Theater
MON	10/7	Asheville, NC	Asheville Music Hall
WED	10/9	Annapolis, MD	Ramshead
THU	10/10	Salisbury, MA	Blue Ocean Performing Arts Center
SAT	10/12	Ithaca, NY	Hangar Theatre
SUN	10/13	Norfolk, CT	Infinity Hall
TUE	10/15	Newark, NJ	Victoria Theatre
WED	10/16	Fairfield, CT	Stage 1
FRI	10/18	Detroit, MI	Magic Bag
SAT	10/19	Cincinnati, OH	Ludlow Garage
SUN	10/20	Chicago, IL	Old Town School of Folk
WED	10/23	Minneapolis, MN	Cedar Cultural Center

Alt-Americana artist MANDA MOSHER New Single + Music Video Out Today; Cover Of John Moreland’s “Nobody Gives A Damn About Songs Anymore”

DATE: JULY 26,2019

MANDA MOSHER
REVEALS MUSIC VIDEO FOR COVER OF JOHN

MORELAND’S

“NOBODY GIVES A DAMN ABOUT SONGS ANYMORE”

SINGLE OUT NOW ACROSS DIGITAL PLATFORMS

ITS RELEASE WILL BE CELEBRATED WITH TWO

SHOWS IN CALIFORNIA TONIGHT AND TOMORROW

(Photo Credit: Shots By Morrison)

Alt-Americana singer, songwriter and musician MANDA MOSHER has shared the video for her new single “Nobody Gives A Damn About Songs Anymore,” which has been released today (7/26). It’s the Los Angeles native’s spirited take on the John Moreland song that will be featured on her third solo album out this fall on her Blackbird Record Label. Directed by Bob Wayne (http://bobwayne.com/) and shot at multiple locations in the San Fernando Valley, the music video was premiered this past Wednesday (7/24) at The Bluegrass Situation. The uplifting clip, which heartwarmingly underlines the importance of songs, can be seen streaming below.

Describing the storyline, MOSHER says: “When thinking of a video concept for ‘Nobody Gives A Damn About Songs Anymore,’ the imagery that came to mind was knocking on doors with your songs in tow, as that’s often how it feels as a songwriter and musician. You’re looking for the right person and audience that your music speaks to, and a lot of doors close before the right ones open. We wanted it to have some levity, so we called in some friends and had some fun with the door to door aspect, finally finding acceptance from a child. Even within a technological industry that has stripped away artist’s ability to make money from their art, artists continue to create because that’s what we do. It’s for the love of it first: ‘Blessed with a curse.'”

Manda Mosher – Nobody Gives a Damn About Songs Anymore

Originally intended as a song to record with CALICO the band, her previous group, it’s been reborn with impassioned harmonies by her guitarist Eric Craig and resounds as fervent proof why songs still matter and always will. For a digital download of “Nobody Gives A Damn About Songs Anymore,” go here: http://smarturl.it/nobodygivesadamn

“On the new album, I’m returning to my rock n’ roll roots while incorporating elements of the California Country sound I’ve been known for more recently,” says MOSHER. “You’re gonna hear an honest representation of the music, keeping the influence of technology on the production to a minimum in the tradition of some of my favorite recordings from artists that shaped me like Tom Petty, Lucinda Williams, and Wilco. I can’t wait to share it with everyone.”

The award-winning artist and entrepreneur will celebrate the release of “Nobody Gives A Damn About Songs Anymore“ tonight and tomorrow with two gigs in California, to be followed by an August show at the Hotel Café in Los Angeles. In September, she’ll head to Nashville to take part in AMERICANAFEST including performing at The California Country Show–an event she co-founded in association with her own record label, California Country Records. Dates are listed as follows:

Fri 7/26 – Ojai, CA – Ojai Deer Lodge

Sat 7/27 – Los Angeles, CA – EB’s Bar Stage at The Original Farmers Market

Wed 8/21 – Los Angeles, CA – Hotel Café

Fri 9/13 – Nashville, TN – The California Country Show, official AMERICANAFEST event

Fri 9/13 – Nashville, TN – The California Country Shake-Up (The California Country Show After Show)

Sat 9/14 – Nashville, TN – The Shubb Copacabana at AMERICANAFEST @ Vinyl Tap

Sat 9/14 – Nashville, TN – West Coast Turnaround @ The Bowery Vault

Los Angeles based multi-instrumentalist, producer and NASA research consultant JASON ACHILLES will be combining his passion for rock’n’roll and science on Monday, August 19 in Pasadena, CA at Der Wolf as part of CalTech‘s monthly “Astronomy on Tap” series with a lecture on his work with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory developing a microphone system for the Mars 2020 rover along with a musical performance from his two-piece instrumental / experimental rock duo.

Backed by drummer Forrest Mitchell, JASON ACHILLES creates his music live and organically with ACHILLES performing guitar, bass and keys simultaneously. The duo released their debut full-length album COMEDOWN in 2016, which was praised by No Depression for its “slick guitar tones, enchanting as they intertwine through each and every song on the record.” Earlier this year, the band debuted a special UK pressing of their sophomore EP DISCØ in the midst of their second European tour. Both releases were produced and recorded by ACHILLES at his boutique analog-digital studio in Los Angeles, Organic Audio Recorders, where he’s produced artists including Dizzy Reed (Guns N’ Roses), and remixes for the likes of Katy Perry, The Beach Boys, Ariana Grande and more.

TASH SULTANA Returns To North America For Cross-Country Tour

DATE: JULY 23, 2019

FROM: MARCEE RONDAN/MITCH SCHNEIDER/KELLY WALSH

TASH SULTANA

RETURNS TO NORTH AMERICA

FOR CROSS-COUNTRY TOUR

DATES KICK OFF SEPTEMBER 3 WITH STOPS IN

NEW YORK (CENTRAL PARK SUMMERSTAGE),

LOS ANGELES (OHANA FESTIVAL)

AND COLORADO (RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE)

Multi-instrumentalist and global sensation TASH SULTANA will return to North America for a fall 2019 tour that includes stops at Red Rocks Amphitheatre (Colorado) and the Central Park Summerstage (New York), along with a slot on the Ohana Festival (Los Angeles). The newly announced tour dates mark the largest headlining gigs in TASH‘s career and come after a few spring shows in the U.S., followed by solo performances and festival appearances this summer in Europe.

Photo credit: Dara Munnis

Here’s some critical feedback from the recent U.S. shows:

“The Australian artist–who has identified as non-binary and goes by the pronoun “they”–is exotic and androgynous, just like their music…[songs] showcased long, cascading guitar solos and Sultana’s soulful voice. While it was just one person onstage during the entire set, it sounded like a full band, with Sultana playing multiple instruments for each song and looping in sounds they’d created.”

— MAGNET MAGAZINE (Shakey Knees Music Festival, Atlanta), 7/5/19

“…Sultana to jam away and transform each song into something entirely new. Sultana was patient, letting each song expand to its maximum tripadelic potential. Salvation let her squeal out tones like Clapton; the seductive Free Mind washed waves of loneliness through the amps; Jungle‘s wocka-wocka funk let her riff around like Prince or Sly Stone. She started each beat; she would stop it when she darn well pleased.”

–Jay Cridlin,TAMPA BAY TIMES (Jannus Live), 5/8/19

Last year was one of the biggest years in TASH‘s career. Highlights include the release of her debut album FLOW STATE (Mom and Pop Music) which entered the charts at #4 on the Billboard Alternative Albums Chart and also charted across the globe. FLOW STATE was also nominated for the prestigious Triple J Australian Album of the Year award and six ARIA’s (The Australian Recording Industry Association Music Awards). Other recent accolades include over half a billion streams worldwide; the certified platinum singles “Jungle” and “Notion”; the certified Gold (internationally) Notion (EP) and the singles “Mystik” and “Murder To The Mind”; and record-breaking attendance at live shows around the world.

For those who have not yet experienced TASH live, TASH recently revealed “The Story So Far,” a three-part documentary series in partnership with YouTube Music that shows the journey from bedroom performances and busking to sold-out world tours. Check out the first two episodes now on TASH‘s channel here and here, with the third to follow this summer.

About TASH SULTANA:

TASH has been playing music since her grandfather gave her a guitar at just three years of age to using fake IDs throughout high school to play open mic nights and busking regularly on the streets of Melbourne. Stories of TASH‘s mesmerizing talent eventually began to spread and before long, her Facebook and YouTube videos were receiving tens of millions of views. Now reaching far beyond the streets of Melbourne, TASH SULTANA‘s passion for music has thoroughly engaged a global audience who are hungry for more. To date, TASH has earned praise from the New York Times, Billboard, NYLON, Pigeons & Planes and more, an NPR Tiny Desk concert, and a U.S. national TV debut on “Late Night with Seth Meyers.”

TASH sold out every single date on her first ever U.S. tour before ever setting foot in the country, returning just a few months later for another completely sold-out tour. Since then, TASH has returned to the U.S. for additional headlining tours, selling out major theatres and arenas and showing no sign of slowing down.

TASH SULTANA continues to broaden her global audience and appeal through her incredible live performances including appearances at internationally renowned festivals such as Coachella, Governor’s Ball, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Outside Lands, in addition to recent appearances at Shaky Knees, Bottlerock, and California Roots Music & Arts Festival.
