TuneCore Is The Easiest And Fastest Tool For Musicians To Sell Their Music Via Digital Download Stores And Is About Enabling Musicians To Succeed Via A New Music Industry Model
As part of its ongoing efforts to support working musicians, TuneCore in conjunction with its strategic partner Guitar Center is giving away a prize package, including a 2007 Ford Econoline van on July 20, enabling a band to tour across the US.
TuneCore, which allows musicians to quickly, cheaply and easily upload their music to iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster and eMusic and many more understands the necessity of touring and the resources needed to go on tour.
Jeff Price, founder and CEO of TuneCore, says, "The goal of TuneCore is to take the headache out of the musician's life while providing the services and resources needed to succeed. Gigging is not only important to building a band's profile, for many, it is also THE moment when the artist and fan directly connect. Seeing your fans singing along, cheering, getting caught up in what you create can be the biggest reward there is. Being able to provide the resources necessary to let a band tour takes the worry and obstacles out of the way. This contest, and many more to come, is another exclusive benefit of being a TuneCore customer. And as
always, we will never take an artist's rights or any of the revenue they generate through their music. They get it all.
To enter, bands can go to http://www.guitarcenter.com/winavan during the month of June and submit the following information:
· How your band could benefit from a new ride
· Your best tour story or best tour story of the future
· 10 things your band would always have in the van
· The dedication of your band members to its craft
This contest is one of many ways in which TuneCore members can experience exclusive special benefits such as being able to download T-RackS 24 (retail $199, mastering software for Mac or PC) from IK Multimedia free with the purchase of any TuneCore upload.
TuneCore is the tool for musicians to sell their music via the digital download stores. TuneCore's customers receive 100% of what they make from the sale of their music at each digital download store. TuneCore members can already use their balances to make their own CDs, posters, stickers and t-shirts and create their own free online merch store.
In the past 12 months, TuneCore customers have earned over $1.5 million dollars in music sales.
