The Venue Bible’s Local Music
Guide has been created to help
you gain more exposure for
your live performances.
This guide features community focused
publications and online resources that will
help to promote your live shows in a variety
of ways, including gig postings, interviews,
live reviews and artist spotlights.
This directory also includes a list of radio
stations and shows that can help boost
attendance at your live shows by providing
interviews, gig announcements, airplay and
in some cases, a live studio performance.
I wish you the very best with your music!

After Attn: on the mailing address please write what
genre of music you are sending us. Another option is to
send it to a particular music director if you know their
name. Be AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE, and make sure
that MD is still an MD. MD's typically only work for
KAMP for one year. If you don't write the genre of
music, or are too vague about it (i.e. Rock) your CD
will go straight into a black hole and never see the light
of day, or a CD player for that matter. This also applies
for any music sent to Attn: Music Director... straight to
that black hole.

very few stations that listen to and play music from
anyone who wants to send it to us. We've been
instrumental in helping start the careers of a wide
range of musicians, from big name artists like Beck,
who sent us a demo on cassette, to more recent
breakout bands like Fitz and the Tantrums. We've
pledged to continue this tradition by listening to as
many submissions as possible, but we've created a new
way to do it. Meet our friend Malcolm. Malcolm allows
you to submit your three best tracks to our secure and
private server. Upload your bio, photo, and link to your
website and social media page too. Even pick who you
want to listen to your work the most.

artists currently live here, some no longer do. But all of
them are well worth hearing in San Diego, and

We at TWD hope to deliver music to your ears that isn't

and respect current music, good music has no limits on
era or genre. Along with the new and hot, we'll explore
the canon which came before and the inspiration and
soul behind all the music you love. Finally, The Dig
occasionally likes to wax philosophic about music
theory and nature of art and music. We'll keep your
brain on its toes. We strongly prefer a direct LINK to a
stream via Soundcloud, Bandcamp, or something
similar. Please NO MP3 attachments! Besides bands
already from Baltimore, any bands coming through
interested in having a conversation should contact us.

on Singer/Songwriters, Folk, Indie Pop/Rock, and
anything with a banjo. But I also have a major soft spot
for: accordion, mandolin, fiddle, saw, a rockin' piano,
the moog, trumpets, stellar hand clapping, and
whistling. I also do the occasional live show review. I
would never post a song just to criticize it. A LINK to a
place where your music is easy to find and instantly
stream-able - Bandcamp and Soundcloud are preferred.

downloads, videos, live streams, concert and album
reviews and a monthly New York City live music
calendar which serves as a foundation for most of the
coverage here. Born out of a Punk Rock sensibility,
informed by history, inspired by the freedom fighters
who are risking everything to reclaim the world for the
99% of us who’ve been excluded from the debate over
our future for too long, New York Music Daily is an
under-the-radar soundtrack for our party for the right
to fight.

the canon which came before and the inspiration and
soul behind all the music you love. Finally, The Dig
occasionally likes to wax philosophic about music
theory and nature of art and music. We'll keep your
brain on its toes. We strongly prefer a direct LINK to a
stream via Soundcloud, Bandcamp, or something
similar. Please NO MP3 attachments! Besides bands
already from NYC, any bands coming through
interested in having a conversation should contact us.

If you decide to send a CD, please include with it a onepage overview about the band and the type of music it
plays. Please do not send band photos, buttons or other
gew-gaws, posters, pocket folders, etc. – they
automatically go in the trash or recycling. We also
don't generally respond to individual questions about
the status of a particular CD, but you can check the
contents of our library at any time to see if your CD has
been added. Also, most programmers post their
playlists in the show blogs. We also post many reviews
of CDs added to the library. So there are ways to see if
your CD has been added, is getting airplay, and
generally how it has been received.

possibly increase the artists' chances of airplay.
