All artists – especially those at the outset of their musical journeys – need all the support they can get, as they look to communicate their stories to the masses. Of course, that means building a fan base full of people ready and willing to engage with their art. To do that, artists also must find opportunities to connect with new audiences. Building that buzz is no easy task – especially in the beginning, and especially when attempted alone.
That’s where a publicist comes in! Publicists are the great connectors between artists and opportunities such as media features, public appearances, sponsorship opportunities, and more. The right publicist will believe in their artists and advocate on their behalf, ultimately ensuring that they find opportunities that are the best fit for their career vision.

You’ve made it to the end of another week! Your reward? A fresh batch of Songs You Should Hear!

Today, we take a trip just a couple hours north of Nashville into rural Kentucky. That’s the place The Local Honeys call home.
Hear ‘Dead Horses’
You know what you could use? A dose of some “no-bullshit” rock and roll!
It’s a ‘Scarborough STreet Fight!’
We’ve got a lot of rock tunes from across the pond in the UK. In fact, this week’s UMC20 is frontloaded with ’em!
There’s more to the story, though — there are plenty of jams from right here at home, whether that means Nashville or somewhere else in the mainland U.S. We move beyond rock, as well, to give you some Americana, soul, pop, hip hop, and even some electronica!
Listen to UMC20
Jasce is back with a new indie dance music (IDM) track that is “focused on energy, joy, and youth.”
Hear ‘Chasing Clouds’
Ready to cut loose and give into your desires? Well, then we have some Songs You Should Hear!
It’s not all willy-nilly, though; there’s also a tender ode to motherhood packed into this edition, just for the sake of giving you all the feels.
Let’s give you the chance to dive in, shall we?

We’re going to send you into the weekend with a fun video that packs a punch from Beau Burnette.
