  Fresh Cuts:  A Holiday Album from Rumblefish
Here's the excerpt from Rumblefish:  . . . Rumblefish called on our artists for an early Christmas present:  holiday music.  Specifically, we asked for them to submit original holiday compositions or their new renditions  of traditional classics.
The response was overwhelming!  We received jazzy Jingle Bells, electronic Emmanuels, and some great original works that put everyone at Rumblefish in the early-holiday spirit.  After a quick run to the store for some nog, we picked our twelve favorite songs to comprise our first ever digital holiday release:  FRESH CUTS.   Listen to FRESH CUTS when that Manheim Steamroller album  has been played one too many times.

     Thanks programmers, djs, radio stations! 

Time to honor Programmers, DJs and Radio Stations that provide airplay and exposure to new and independent artists!  Let’s pay tribute to those who pay tribute to us.  Often a gutsy, impassioned Programmer can open doors to an aspiring artist offering something a little “different”.  Famous stories abound.  Or at the very least a DJ can make the challenging journey a little friendlier. It all counts.  Hats off to the “receptive” Radio Stations as well – no pun.  Programmers and DJs function within a climate, right?  They may have some freedom, but most must also take some direction . . .

Since the first release in 2005, HeatherSongs have, indeed, spun on a variety of AM / FM / Internet radio stations internationally.  Also on some Internet TV.  I’ve been featured on shows, podcasts, and did 2 live interviews.  I’ve received repeated airplay – though seasonally with the Christmas music.  I submit music after response or request and typically avoid “cold” submission but rarely if that’s the only option.  I have submitted music for airplay/review to recipients in the U.S., Canada, the UK, Australia, Japan, Luxembourg, Germany, Trinidad, Brazil, Denmark, Austria, Spain and the Netherlands among others.  HeatherSong enjoys and welcomes global airplay.  THANK YOU SO MUCH . . . my global friends!!!
