Dear Little Fox— I do hope you are out there making good music. Let us know what you've been doing so we can help you fan the flame and spread your fame. As this crazy business of music has no set avenues, NCMN is working to help stir you up, encouraging you along the way.
*THE PERFORMING ARTIST— In the coming months you will find a series of helpful suggestions: “In the Know” page. (Click here) Always stay in touch for additions.
*DISCOVERY OF THE MONTH— While on location in Raleigh at the State Fair, NCMN was fortunate in coming upon a bright new artist by the name of Ariel McIlnay. The maturity of her deep vocals was not only a surprise but a pleasurable diversion from the norm. In a unique key of voice the song “Blue” caught the unfamiliar ear resonating in the heart of the audience. Borrowing from Lee Ann Rymes the first of her many hits, Ariel was able to truly make the song “Blue” her very own. As the audience exploded with energy, thirteen year old Ariel McIlnay took a bow. NCMN will be watching Ariel to see what she comes up with next. Stay with us as we bring Ariel to the forefront.
*UPCOMING EVENT— “Charity Country Christmas Show” in memory of Candace Purdue will be held on Dec 3rd from 6-9pm at the Wilson Moose Lodge. Lineup of Independent Music Artists, all proceeds going to the Purdue family. Thank you for your support!
