Free Event Promotion for Bluegrass Festivals and Concerts

2004 has become a part of history and 2005 acts are already being arranged. This is the time that bluegrass music should start their promotional campaigns for 2005. One way to do that in the 21st Century is to promote the music on the Internet. Every event from concerts to festivals, workshops to cruises should take advantage of what the Cybergrass (www.cybergrass.com) has to offer.

When music promoters place their events or news on Cybergrass, the information no longer remains only on one web site with limited exposure. The event or news becomes available to the entire Internet news community. Cybergrass events are carried on many other services exposing them to a wider bluegrass targed audience. Cybergrass bluegrass music events calendar is a free service to fans, bands and promoters.

Technology has changed a lot in the past few years. It used to be that you had to place your event on many individual web sites to get adequate coverage. New syndication technology makes it possible to carefully place your information on just a few sites where the information will be carried by dozens of other sites, news services and posted to news gathering services.

Many services capture all of the Cybergrass feeds. Web sites around the world carry Cybergrass feeds. From England, Italy and even Australia, Cybergrass feeds may be found on various web sites. MSN and MSNBC capture the feeds every day for their new "newsbot" services. Cybergrass allows any reader to add these feeds to their own personal pages so they can always know what's new in bluegrass.

Many of the world's largest Internet news distribution services carry Cybergrass news, reviews and events. Moreover and News Knowledge have been carrying Cybergrass feeds for over a year. Many similar services carry the Cybergrass syndicated feeds. There are dozens of flavors of news aggregators available that incorporate into mail tools and web browsers or run as stand alone applications. Every day there are more products on the market and all of these will work with the Cybergrass syndicated events, news and music reviews.

Cybergrass syndicated feeds are cataloged on many feed registries including Syndic8. A search for "Bluegrass" doesn't return many entries yet but Cybergrass is a well established feed. Cybergrass is home to the Bluegrass Music News Network (BMNN) which operates a bluegrass music press release distribution service. Press releases published through BMNN will be automatically distributed to other news organizations and will be indexed into search engines and automatically placed on Cybergrass for its distribution to the many other services that we partner with.

Cybergrass - The Internet's Bluegrass Music Magazine (www.cybergrass.com) has been the leader in bluegrass Internet promotion for longer than any other. The site was the world's first bluegrass web site and has been operating continually since 1992. Cybergrass was the first bluegrass service to offer a true syndicated bluegrass events calendar. The service is free to anyone that desires to promote bluegrass events and news to a either a targeted or a broad music audience.

Cybergrass offers their free syndicated content to be incorporated into other web sites as a value added benefit. The concept of fresh daily news and a current calendar of events is a draw for other sites. The other sites don't need to go fishing for new news and event information — they just use the syndicated feeds from Cybergrass. Just as newspapers use the Associated Press (AP) to add value to their print media without having to hire additional reporters, the bluegrass music community may take advantage of this technology to add events, news and music reviews to their own sites.

These services are free to any bluegrass music fan, band or promoter so there's really no reason not to take advantage of this new technology. Get the word out now and help draw a crowd to your event. Cybergrass encourages you use their free services to help promote the music. We've been promoting bluegrass music since 1992. It's what we do.
