Shaman's Harvest: Missouri Based Rock Powerhouse Reaps Success With New Single 'Dragonfly'

Los Angeles, CA (Top40 Charts/ Luck Media & Marketing) - A little wiki research into the symbolism of the 'Dragonfly' perfectly explains why Missouri based rock powerhouse Shaman's Harvest is scoring across the board success with the explosive first single from their new album Shine. On Mediabase, which tracks national radio airplay, the song has been in the Top 20 on two charts-Active Rock and Mainstream Rock. 'Dragonfly' has also been buzzing on numerous Billboard charts, spending over six weeks on the Rock Songs chart and also placing on the Active Rock chart and Heritage Rock chart.

While the song has scanned an incredible nearly 30,000 singles on iTunes, it's also lit up phone request lines on stations everywhere from Springfield, Missouri and Omaha to Boise, Spokane, Flint, Michigan and Waterloo, Iowa, placing in the Top 5 of all requests. It's also spinning in Salt Lake City, Detroit, Atlanta and Portland, Oregon, with more outlets still being added weekly-an incredible achievement considering that it's happening based purely on buzz for a DIY effort, without any sort of major label promotion, distribution or affiliation!

Even before the band got around to shooting a video for 'Dragonfly' late last year, the word of mouth on the song was so great that a fan generated YouTube video (with just an image of a dragonfly accompanying the song) became a massive hit; it's currently up to almost 300,000 views. The official band video is currently running on two YouTube channels and has amassed over 150,000 views.

Thousands of the group's fans will be flocking in late May to see them perform at three major festivals: Rockfest in Kansas City (May 15), Rock on the Range in Columbus, Ohio (May 22-23) and Rocklahoma on Memorial Day weekend. Shaman's Harvest will be playing alongside headliners like Papa Roach, Drowning Pool, Seether, Three Days Grace, Godsmack, Rob Zombie, Limp Bizkit, Slash, Deftones, ZZ Top, and Buckcherry.

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) recently contacted Shaman's Harvest about recording a song written by their staff writer Jim Johnston for wrestler Drew McIntyre's 2010 entrance theme. 'Broken Dreams' is currently being aired nationally and has resulted in over a combined 200,000 YouTube plays.
