Hello and Happy Summer to everybody:
I am sending this email out to all our fans in far away places as well as locally. We are trying to enlist as many of you as possible to help us gain a wider audience across the globe and helping us get "on the road" (My kids think I'm crazy, too). The following is a message from the administrator of our MySpace Fan Page:
"As many of you know, the music business has changed a lot and is bound to change even more. The age of the iPod and music downloads, the advent of satellite radio, and the electronic press kit have begun to place greater and greater pressure on the artist and band to use these new channels to promote themselves. For instance right now, I am listening to several personalized “radio” stations on Pandora to increase the plays of Alice Stuart and The Formerlys. Anyone can do this by going to www.pandora.com. It's pretty cool. Check it out when you have some time.
I have set up a MySpace Fan Page for Alice Stuart and The Formerlys at (www.myspace.com/alicestuartfanpage) . Many of the features on this page are “widget” players and schedule "widgets" from ReverbNation, which tracks the band’s show attendance, number of fans, the number of plays and downloads of their songs. Think of ReverbNation as a ranking system for an artist. Venues and booking agents use this information to make decisions on whether or not to book the band.
The object of the Alice Stuart Fan Page is to showcase Alice and The Formerlys in many different performance settings, and to showcase the band and their songs....and Alice. However for any of this to work, the ASFP needs to have NEW fans, NEW Hits, and NEW plays …in other words you and some of your friends can help by becoming fans on the Fan Page.
To entice you to view, play, or join, The Alice Stuart Fan Page is where you can buy (download) unreleased songs, ringtones, and videos of Alice and the band. CD Baby now offers not only album downloads, but individual songs too. 6 of her albums are for sale there. (www.cdbaby.com/alicestuart)
What was meant to be a Fan Club Page has turned into a page to promote Alice and the Formerlys. So please click on the link, look around, sign the guest book, listen to the various players, download a song, buy a ringtone, or just join and stay in contact for all the new things to come as Alice and The Formerlys get deeper into this digital age.
Thanks,
James McBride

Videos, blogs, music, current schedule and other information about the band and what they're up to. We are also trying to develop a street team that can help promote us when we are in other parts of the country and MySpace is a good way to do this.
