4. RESEARCH
QUESTIONSDo you offer consignment to
indie artists?
Indie artists must first show their
music is being played on
formatted radio.
The store needs to know the artist
music is being played and gaining
an audience.
Unfortunately, if the artist is not
getting radio play or has no proof
of being played, or gaining an
audience, the artists will not be
allowed space in the store.
YES!!!
How often do marketing reps
visit from record labels?
Unfortunately there are no
in store visits.
However they are bombarded
with emails requesting a new
artist be sold in the store.
NO!!!

5. Are there any upcoming events
or performances?
