The Evolvor Music Marketing Methodology

Posted by on Dec 28, 2009 in Marketing | Comments

One of the hardest things about working in this business is trying to explain to people what exactly it is that I do. People are always thinking that marketing online is a “magic button” service that they can just pay $50 for and see results.

I worked on creating a new sales page over the weekend and now present to you with the Evolvor music marketing “methodology”. I hope the explanation is clear enough for those who contact me for my services; any input from you the reader would be helpful.

Posted by on Dec 26, 2009 in Music | Comments

One of five artists chosen for Men’s Vogue Critics Choice Awards, and a leading licensor on MTV and AOL, Kirsten DeHaan’s highly anticipated third album, ‘Thorns On A Crown’ (SirLady Records) reflects the current social-political climate with intelligent lyrics wrapped in rock, blues, folk and pop, has been received by rave reviews.

Scott Weiland Delivering “A Merry Christmas” For STP Fans

Posted by on Dec 17, 2009 in News, Song of the Week | Comments

I’ll be completely honest here, I’m a sucker for this time of year. Especially, when it comes to holiday music.

If you’ve been a regular visitor around here, then you’re already well aware of my affinity towards 90′s bands, and their take on the whole December 25 shin ding.

For the last couple of years I’ve been raving about Scott Weiland’s rendition of the classic “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” which he performed on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno on December 18, 2007.

To make my spirit bright, the track has finally been officially recorded and put up for sale at iTunes.
