"Boy oh boy these releases that have arrived last couple weeks from eFolkMusic are among some of my favorites to come in. Thanks so much and I hope radio will get the word out on all of 'em. Thanks for puttin me and KGLT on your list and I hope the music keeps rollin'. "
-Rik James "Americana Backroads" KGLT-FM, 91.9 Bozeman, 98.1 in Helena, and 89.5 in Livingston

     I'm sure a lot of you have had the good intention to send your CD around, but we will actually do it! Not only that, but the CD comes from a "respected" (ha!) organization, efolkMusic, instead of from the artist, which can't hurt. I can't think of an better or easier way to promote your music; it’s good for us and it’s good for you- and the stations are eternally grateful! -cf

One-sheet Guidelines:

The one sheet is a page about the album and the artist, to help attract a DJ's attention. Long-time folk DJ Bob Blackman's article 'Getting Airplay on Folk Radio Shows', originally written for Sing Out! magazine, volume 40 #3, and later updated for the folkradio.org website is a comprehensive guide for artists. Bob hosts The Folk Tradition over WKAR-FM in East Lansing, Michigan. His day job is running the computer system at Elderly Instruments, a retail and mail-order music store. He wrote Sing Out's Songfinder column for several years and also co-founded the Ten Pound Fiddle coffeehouse in East Lansing. His show's web page is at http://wkar.org/radio/folk_tradition.

The aforementioned article was previously published on efolkMusic without permission or attribution. We want to apologize to Sing Out! and Bob Blackman for our mistake.
