Today's Subjects: ----------------- [EDA] NJC: The Rolling Stone article about this list & Living Room Tours [Mike Connell ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2002 21:40:51 -0500 From: Mike Connell Subject: [EDA] NJC: The Rolling Stone article about this list & Living Room Tours Considering folks have been asking about Living Room Tours/Concerts, here's the Rolling Stone article from 1998 that detailed the tours hosted by EDAs. - Mike :-) ROLLING STONE July 9-23, 1998 Issue 790/791: Mi casa es su casa--just don't wake the neighbors. There's a growing movement on the Internet to bring artists to people's homes. The idea can be traced to a group of 2,500 rabid Jewel fans known as Everyday Angels (EDAs), who maintain a mailing list on the Net. In April, 1997, the singer Cindy Lee Berryhill--a San Diego contemporary of Jewel's--was stuck in Boston with a yearning to perform. Aware of EDA's legions, she contacted a friend, who got word out that Berryhill was looking for a gig. The next day, the singer was performing in a fan's living room for thirty people. Since then, she has played in about sixteen homes, sometimes drawing more than 100 fans, each of whom donates ten dollars. "I won't ever give up clubs," she says, "but it's a great way to connect with people." The "Living Room Tour" trend has spread, and subsequent shows have been held in cities across the country. While many of these artists are local folk singers, higher-profile acts such as Freedy Johnston, Patty Griffin and Steve Poltz have expressed interest. "We're looking at it as a supplement to regular touring," says Michael Pontecorvo, director of artistic development for Poltz's label, Mercury Records. "It's increasingly difficult to get exposure for new artists, but this is a proven method." Poltz, who played one living room with his former band the Rugburns, hopes to do at least six more when his tour begins in July. "I like playing small venues, anyway," he says. "This is about as intimate as it gets..." Funny, he's never had a problem with the top shelf before. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2002 22:09:43 EST From: Fredsteve@aol.com Subject: [EDA] Break Me - Radio Adds Hey Guys Some good news. Break Me got a whole bunch of early adds this week at radio. For all those who don't know, an "add" is when a radio station officially adds a song to their playlist. And every monday and tuesday a group of songs "go for adds" at various formats. Anyway - Break Me has been scheduled to go for adds on the 18th and 19th of March (next week). However, this week it got 9 pre-impact adds at Adult radio and 14 pre-impact adds at Mainstream... one of them being KIIS FM in Los Angeles, which is a very good add to get at any time. So that's a REALLY good sign... maybe next week she can pull of Most Added at one or both of those formats. later Steve ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2002 00:37:57 -0300 From: "FabioJJ" Subject: Re: [EDA] Break Me - Radio Adds So you're basically saying that "Break Me" is already a hit? I'm quite surprised that she had more adds at Mainstream than at Adult. I think this is the best thing that could happen, if she wants to sell more.
