WTFest - A Showcase Of Indie Music

In two days Brantford will become the centre of the music universe when it launches the 1st Annual WTFest music festival Saturday June 13 and Sunday June 14 at Lions Park. Well, maybe only the centre of our local music community but that's ok. For those of us, who live within a 100 km radius of Hamilton know that there is a wonderful local music scene. It is filled with many artistic gems and even a few super stars from more musical genres then even named.
The creative waters indeed are flowing from Lake Erie through the Grand River and  to Lake Ontario giving birth to thousands of musical acts over the years and the tradition continues.
This weekend Brantford becomes the stage of a new musical event; WTFest. It features an all Canadian line-up of Rock, Pop, Electronica, Punk artists and many of them are from this area. Local music fans will recognize bands such as Peeler, Sons Of Revelry, Harbour and the Ascot Royals. A local music festival promoting local indie music, it sounds like a perfect event for Euphonious Radio to support.
We are very excited to be an official media outlet covering this festival. We will have DJ Steve O along with a photographer on site during both days speaking to artists, organizers, fans and anyone who will participate. It should be a lot of fun, as we capture this event through photos, interviews and live posts on Facebook and Twitter for both days.
We hope you decide to come and enjoy all the great music WTFest has to offer and maybe we'll meet up and you can tell us what your favourite show is on Euphonious Radio.

Time To Listen

It has been several months since my last post and much has changed at Euphonious Radio but one unfortunate factor remains the same and that is very low listening numbers. Yes, the numbers are improving most months which is great but the numbers are just too low to continue investing time and money for no gain. Now, the previous statement reflects the business person portion of my brain which is continuously reminding me of this poor financial investment. However, luckily the creative part of my brain is saying, rubbish, artistically Euphonious Radio is a success. So, I hope you can understand my difficult struggle about whether to continue with broadcasting Euphonious Radio or not.
When I think about discontinuing the broadcast, I think of the hundreds of independent artists I have met since October 2012 and how they struggle with the exact same problem. How do we get people to listen to and buy our music? How do I get you to listen to my music channel?
The internet has been a great tool for independent musicians to distribute their music but it has also created a lot more traffic, so how to get noticed has become the new normal problem of this music age.
Some artists have found success through comical you tube videos which can provide a temporary spike in your success graph. Crowd funding has also replaced high interest personal loans for creators but I think this form of funding is a trend and not something that will remain due to the high annoyance factor.
The artistic value of Euphonious Radio is very high and if you care about music then you will want to listen to Euphonious Radio. We add new indie music weekly and have many different types of shows scheduled daily. We don't focus on prize giveaways as do conventional radio stations but rather we focus on the music and the presentation.
The international music community has been very supportive of Euphonious Radio and the local listening community needs to start taking notice and begin supporting this great musical venture called Euphonious Radio.
