An “Emerging Songwriters Hour” will feature three age 23-and-under artists at the 4th Pensacola Beach Songwriters Festival, taking place in the Florida panhandle in early October.  To be held on Friday night, October 5th at 7pm on the stage at the Paradise Inn, the 60-minute spotlight will include Melissa Brethauer, Jourdan Pace, and Courtney Yovich.  The one-hour feature will be presented by Now Hear This.

The current and prospective client and event list is surrounded with excitement.  Similarly, Now Hear This is encouraging all of those entities to reach deep and take advantage of the opportunity that is before them – and those that, by doing so, will manifest themselves.

A raffle grand prize has been turned into a benefit for Now Hear This clients.

While attending the Frank Brown International Songwriters Festival in Alabama, Now Hear This President Bruce Wawrzyniak bought tickets for and was the eventual winner of an acoustic guitar being raffled off over the course of the event.  The real winners, however, are current and future NHT clients.

The NHT president said, “I’d never played guitar, but I will now.  Honestly I must say that it seems logical and probably was inevitable.”

Recording artist/singer-songwriter Vickie Raye is now being booked by Now Hear This.  The announcement adds to the client roster a versatile and talented music veteran with highly impressive credentials.

Now Hear This President Bruce Wawrzyniak enthusiastically stated, “This is an extremely exciting development.  I am most grateful and very much looking forward to the opportunity to work with Vickie to keep her and her music out in the public conscience.”

Raye already has radio airplay and her performance background shows why she deserves where she is today.

For the benefit of both our clients as well as the potential host sites where they may be playing, Now Hear This is launching its own YouTube channel.

A soft launch had recently taken place of www.youtube.com/watchNHT and now Bruce Wawrzyniak, the Now Hear This president, has said – incorporating his company’s name – that it’s time for people to “hear (about) this.”

Having secured opportunities in two major entertainment cities, Now Hear This President Bruce Wawrzyniak was on both trips and since returning the momentum has continued with the signing of another new client.

The calendar change is fitting because Now Hear This itself has also been undergoing a transformation.  The good news is that these are all progressive developments that represent advancements from not only a year ago, but from when the company was founded almost seven years ago.

The new year comes in with new Now Hear This clients, notably Tony Caruso as well as a duo called Aurora.  Enthusiasm abounds both from our side and theirs for promotion of their talents.

Now Hear This has secured a national TV exposure opportunity for singer/songwriter Melissa Brethauer, as well as additional media who are writing about her and/or her CD.

Daytime, which is aired in more than 110 TV markets across the U.S., taped a show on Friday that includes an interview with Melissa, followed by her performing one of the songs from her debut CD, “Waiting.”

The show will air on Tuesday (August 31) at 10am Eastern time.

As previously reported on now-hear-this.net, communications services are now being provided for clients in addition to those whose focus is music only.  The newest addition is the Indoor Lacrosse Platform, a national initiative launching from a base in Orlando, Florida.

The Now Hear This company tagline of “Promoting Vocal Talent” has been turned inward as its president, Bruce Wawrzyniak, will be featured on broadcasts of Orlando Titans game this season.

Mr. Wawrzyniak will serve as the color commentator on the home games televised by the Bright House Sports Network and in the same capacity for non-TV games on the ESPN Radio affiliate in Orlando (1080 AM The Team).
