A DJ from a local radio station acknowledged he listened to it and complimented it.

Baby steps.

Their signal reaches into Chicago from IN.

That's fantastic!  What city or town would this be? We had a DJ follow us recently on Instagram

Thank you!

Don’t take it as a huge thing, I got a favor to listen. I’m a known engineer, has lil diff weight than a listener.

The one DJ works at a local station with various shows. That said its near 2 colleges and reaches half of Chicago. If anything is played it COULD be a foot in the door in this area. This one is in Valporaso, IN. They looked, lets see if they bite.

Appreciate you doing that!

I think I know who it is. He followed us a couple days ago. Chicago has been our top city in at least that past 28 days for Spotify play. The album has close to 27,000 plays so far in total on Spotify. That includes the singles that we've been releasing though. The stats carry over to the album.

I didn’t analyze every song, but 2-3 caught my attention with hooks that should be heard. To say that about one song of 30 is s good start.

Yes, some of your songs fit the area programming.

I can hear chicks playing #1 in a country or suburban bar.

Just remember, be careful of false positives.

Its very smart to start album #2 right now. You’ll need it in 9 mos. Take your time apply what was learned. Shows you’re in it for the long haul (future biz).

These guys get stuff pushed on them by local bands every day. They tend to shy away from beggers, lets play it as the quiet get the most attention. Don’t push, amateurs do that. I never asked these guys for anything, so when I do I must be on to something.
 I’m helping both you and them, IF I’m any help at all.

>IF< (massive word), you need to play the area, you have some clout and access to the best gear and engineers in the area, same as you prolly have there.

Thanks, Animl!

yeah, we don't push on stuff like this. At all. Other than the social media promos we do, we don't bug people or ask for anything.

For those interested, we have a music section on my forum. Not many members post in that section, but I think it has some nice threads that a few of you guys would like. Examples; great liver performances, gear, songs that aint bad, songs with great hooks, etc.

Kinda slippin off subject
I think Joe is a stunning player, I don't care for all the tear tugging tunes but his playing is great. He's not mainstream, but damn! Working and listening to him on stage was a treat.
A decent video on his way of amps/ monitors.

I'm not really a fan of his music, but I really like the guy as a guitar and collector/enthusiast. I think he's a pretty cool guy and I love his knowledge and love of the gear.

He’s literally a gtr player prodigy since 11 yrs old. Besides golf<story about that one day> its pretty much s one track train.

And ya, I really like about 3 songs, just a fan of his playing. Kind of a nerdy guy but s good guy.
