Indie Folk Inst Forward!

Post by SteveJCurtis » Wed Nov 06, 2013 2:39 am

Wow! My instrumental "Let It Lie" got the nod today! :D

I'm thrilled on a couple of levels:
I really thought it was far too "bluegrassy" and not Indie Folk enough, but the screener thinks it's a fit,
and I got a couple of (my first ever) 10's !

Thanks as always to AG for the fab mix advice, and BeeSee, Bamtone, Nick Moxon & Juliet for chiming in too.

Best regards to all
Steve

CONTEMPORARY MID-to-UP TEMPO, INDIE FOLK INSTRUMENTALS that would appeal to the fans of Mumford and Sons, Dawes, The Punch Brothers, etc., are needed by the Owner of very busy Music Library. We ran a similar dispatch listing for this a few weeks back but he wants to hear more. If you submitted to D130904IF, be sure you send in new tracks. He's asked for earthy and organic tracks, with an acoustic sound, similar to that of the artists mentioned above. He pitches mainly to TV and commercial spots, so he wants tracks that are upbeat and lively. He's not looking for anything that's moody or dark. Instrumentals only, please.........no later than Monday, October 7, 2013. TAXI # S131007IF

Congrats Steve,

I got a return on this one because it wasn't "bluegrassy" enough. They didn't say bluegrass in the listing, but I should have known. :o Let It Lie is right on target - excellent and enjoyable on so many levels. Best of luck to you.

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks gentlemen!
I am constantly in awe of the talents you all possess and am grateful for your collective advice.
Scott, sorry your tune didn't make it through but sure it'll find another home.
All of you going to the Rally; I am sooooo jealous. Have a beer ( or 2...) for me, but most of all, have fun.
Best regards,
Steve.

Congrats Steve. That's a fun song. It sounds great. I guess I'll have to revisit my perception of Indie Rock now. Though, it does fit the description of the artists mentioned. Good job.

Marty
