Welcome to www.BluegrassJournal.com
Hello, good folks,
We are a small alliance of friends and family who are about to launch what we believe will be an exciting new Web site for the Bluegrass world. We’re doing this because we all have a passion for not only the music itself, but for the real sense of community that we find in the Bluegrass industry.
As a brief introduction, I live in central Illinois and am a 40-year veteran of the newspaper industry, now working as a city editor of a small daily newspaper. Others in our group are my son, a Nashville, Tenn., resident; my stepson in Orlando, Fla.; and a friend of ours who lives in Kentucky. We are all true-blue Bluegrass nuts and avid festival-goers and shade-tree pickers.
With our Web site, we have a strong desire to reach out to literally everyone who shares the same love we have for Bluegrass music. By that, we have in our sights everyone from the consumer – the die-hard aficionado, the parking lot pickers, the festival goers and radio listeners – to the professional side of the music – the bands, of course, but also the instrument makers, the festival promoters and, of course, you.
We are taking small steps, but dream of growing leaps and bounds in the months ahead. We are launching this preliminary Web site to test the waters. Eventually we want to have a one-stop Bluegrass site that’s a compilation of information about new CDs, bands, festivals, the instrument scene, reviews of CDs, concerts and festivals, band schedules, etc. We are aiming for an interactive site where the Bluegrass community can gather and exchange thoughts and opinions, tell each other about jam session schedules … well, hopefully you get the “one-stop” idea we’re aiming for. Until then this is an attempt to get the ball rolling and spread the bluegrass lifestyle.
Consider this correspondence our invitation for you to be part of our venture. We are in need of any press releases about artists and performance schedules if you have those available. Tell us about upcoming projects and release dates. Please, use us. Even abuse us. We’ll try our best to be a mouth piece for you.
Please add us to your e-mail list on news releases and other publicity, and if you have any questions or concerns, send an e-mail, and we’ll certainly do our very best to answer your questions. Hoping to hear from you soon, hopefully with lots of material we can post on the World Wide Web for you.
Sincerely,
Dan Tackett – bluegrassjournal.com

P.S. We also intend to review new CD releases on our Web site, so we invite you to send pre-release copies of your artists’ projects. We will gladly furnish you a snail-mail address if you express an interest in that aspect of our site.
