Posted on May 9, 2017

AirPlay Direct is pleased to announce that we will soon be releasing Volume 4 of our APD “Global Radio Showcase” – August, 2017.



This particular showcase will be featuring “All Things Country”, i.e., Country, Country Rock, Alt. Country, Western Swing, etc.

If you have something very special, a ‘Best of Breed’ song that can compete with the best, this is a phenomenal opportunity for you to share your music worldwide.

"This is for everyone around the globe that loves and supports ‘All Things Country’.  We are now going to be able to enjoy special deep cuts, catalog and new releases that we may have never heard of before,”

~ Robert Weingartz, Chairman - AirPlay Direct

"The AirPlay Direct Global Radio Showcase Series has been a tremendous support to our artists. Through their Bluegrass and Blues showcases we had the opportunity to promote both current and catalog artists.

We couldn’t have asked for better results, with stations from around the world downloading these songs, many entering the top 10 of the AirPlay Direct charts.

We love the broad diversity within these showcases and we are looking forward to the “All Things Country” showcase."

~ Ken Irwin, Co-Founder - Rounder Records

"As an independent artist to be selected for one of AirPlay Direct’s Global Radio Showcase series was truly an invaluable experience for us.  Because of the attention the showcase receives by member stations throughout the AirPlay Direct Eco-System, we were able to greatly expand our visibility to those stations that might not normally play our style of music.  AirPlay Direct has made it possible for us to develop great relationships with stations throughout the world, something that not too long ago would have been extremely difficult for an independent artist."  

Andy Scheinman, Independent Artist - Eight O’Five Jive

The most important benefit of being on APD’s “Global Radio Showcase” is that all of the acts represented on these compilations will have a link on the Volume 4 compilation profile page that will have a direct link to each of the acts’ individual AirPlay Direct Artist Profile Release page.  This will allow the radio programmer to listen to and hopefully download a few more tracks from your whole album, or catalogue.

This is a FREE opportunity for all AirPlay Direct members to have the chance to earn the opportunity to present and “showcase” their music to all of AirPlay Direct’s Global Radio Programmers; 10,000+ radio station members around the world.  There is NO FEE TO SUBMIT for these showcases for AirPlay Direct members.  Keep in mind, these “Global Radio Showcases” are not only for new releases / songs, but also for cool, deep catalogue cuts.
