New York Rock Exchange Employs Songshares

MUSIC STARTUP HELPS BANDS TO FUND VINYL RELEASES

NEW YORK ROCK EXCHANGE CONNECTS BANDS DIRECTLY TO FANS THROUGH SONGSHARES

SUBMISSIONS OPEN FOR 2014 SUMMER MUSIC COLLECTION

Less than 2 years into it’s existence the New York Rock Exchange is adding even more incentive for artists to join their platform with a new Vinyl Program. The innovative music startup will front up to half the cost of pressing vinyl for artists chosen to launch a songshare on the NYRE. Having already partnered with Stick Figure and Ballywhoo for successful songshares & vinyl releases they’re now ready to branch out to even more artists.

“The Vinyl Program and Summer Music Collection are two ways that New York Rock Exchange is helping bands earn more and engage fans in the process. There’s no cost to the artist and they get a new revenue stream while connecting more directly with fans. It’s a win-win for everybody.” -NYRE founder, Jeff Annison

In addition to the Vinyl Program, the NYRE is currently accepting submissions for their 2014 Summer Music Collection which will feature 10 indie bands looking to take the next step in their development. Selected bands will receive guaranteed revenue plus marketing and promotion from inclusion and can now apply via Sonic Bids. Bands in the rock, indie, country, folk, singer/songwriter, reggae, or blues genres with an engaged social media following in the ballpark of 20K-100K fans are encouraged to apply.

More about NYRE:
In the days before digital music, “owning a song” meant something. People defined themselves by their music collections, and the physical elements—album art, liner notes, vinyl—were an essential part of the experience. Today, album art has been reduced to thumbnail images and most music collections are nothing more than a bunch of files on a hard drive. On behalf of music fans who want more, the New York Rock Exchange is fighting to reclaim what it means to own your music!
