Hey guys i’d just like to draw your attention to myspace, as i’m sure most of you are aware myspace facilitates personal and musical profiles free of charge to people and bands all over the world. Myspace is therefore a great place to search for local country acts that may not have had the exposure. Myspace browser can also listen to tracks, learn about the artist and view there list of upcomming shows.
When I searched I found quiet a few talented artists that I had never heard of; according to their myspaces many of these artists have had exposure at country music festivals and have had recent releases into the country music charts. These artists are quiet talented yet even the most talented country music singers are finding it difficult to break into mainstream music. It may take something spectacular for these artists to be recognised in the mainstream charts, hopefully not as hard a road as casey chambers a country superstar that made it big with her song ‘am I not pretty enough’ and her Cindy Lauper cover in 2003 of ‘true colours’.
Some of the artists I thought were worth mentioning are Shayne Parle and Rebecca Lee Nye you should check them out!
I also found a few other artists that are just starting out such as Amy a girl whom claims to be in the genre of Country/Emo which I thought was an interesting combination. Have a Listen!
