AMERICANA MEDIA PRODUCTIONS

Americana Radio Promotion and Video Production

 Chance Austin aka Fred Boenig Americana Radio Promotion  Americana Media Productions is an Americana radio promotion company. Promoting Independent Americana artist to Americana radio stations reporting to the Americana Music Chart..

Started in 2001, for the purpose of helping the "self released" and independent Americana Music artists that were essentially blocked from the Top 40 of the Americana Music chart due to lack of finances and/or representation by promoters that focused on label artists.  Americana Media Productions has established itself as one of the top indie Roots Americana radio promotion companies for Self Released and Independent Roots/Americana Music artists involved in the format today.  We are part of the Artist Development Co Op, a group of professionals that include ADC Film, a Americana Music video production company making quality music videos for very reasonable prices, Songs with Vision, a film placement  and web marketing company and the #1 Roots / Americana  Music magazine  in the US (per Alexa) The Alternate Root. 

Our syndicated Americana Music  TV show , Alternate Root TV is currently being picked up in major markets around the country.

Our clients are among some of the Top Independent Americana Artists in the format. We use a very "Hands On" approach that not only educates the artist in every aspect of radio promotion, but develops personal relationships with the Americana radio professionals that program this music. This approach has had a very high success rate with our ability to chart artists in the Top 40 and many in the Top 10.  We work with mostly new unknown artists and 80% of our clients chart in the Top 40 of the Americana Music Chart.

No other radio promotions company in this format, provides video/graphics technology, web presence, radio promotion experience and track record of success with independent artists for the price.  

You must ask yourself "Why would I pay more for less?"

Together our team of professionals have over 100 years of combined experience in Americana Radio, Americana and Rock Radio Promotion, Film Placement, Video Production and major label experience.  

 "Our goal is to be the first radio promotions company in the Americana format to actually move the needle and make a real difference for independent Americana Musicians."

It's The Everly Brothers meets The Beatles meets Rockpile meets The BoDeans...no, it's The Blue Shadows and you need to hear it!

The Blue Shadows  Roots Music

Walking with your heroes can be tough, especially for musicians. You are, first and foremost, a fan. Playing someone else’s tunes is tough enough without  having the extra baggage of really liking both the original artists and the material. Okay, you get the idea. Now, if you are a musician who is probably a hero yourself, the stakes rise. Case in point is Billy Cowsill. Billy grew up in the public eye as a member of the popular 1960’s group of siblings and their Mom, The Cowsills.
