PHOENIX, AZ. (www.bathtubmusic.com) - www.bathtubmusic.com was internationally launched just a few short weeks ago on June 25, 2004, marking a new milestone for the independent musician. The interactive website caters to artists looking to sell more of their indie releases and buyers excited to patronize a friendly 'mom & pop' shop. Over 200 musicians from 32 different states and 12 different countries have already heeded the call to 'get into the bathtub' and add to future CD sales. With new recording artists signing up every day, Bathtub
Music is poised to become a major contender in the family of independent CD promotion and distribution sites. Bathtub Music, however, uses the magic word: FREE.
President
David Tieman has offered this service for free – no set-up/maintenance fees and no strings attached. With sales just getting started,
David donates most of his time during the day doing all of the initial work for his new Bathtub Artists. He uploads high quality MP3 sound clips as well as the artwork for the CD. 'Many artists wonder if they are ever going to make enough sales to pay back their $35, $50 or even $80 set-up fees other distribution sites charge'
David commented 'Every indie artist should be able to sell CDs to their current and potential fans via credit card. They should also be able to get more international exposure on-line on even the tightest promotions budget. The word FREE is music to all hard working artists' ears.'
With David's personalized customer service backing them up, artists will get their own online admin section to review sales/inventory and edit their CD information while customers receive fast and reliable order fulfillment. By putting the power in musician's hands, artists' information will never be outdated for new potential buyers.
