“ Blues And Roots Radio plays an important part in connecting the independent musician with their audience - and I see this both as a musician and a broadcaster. The network delivers finely crafted programmes to an audience who are not casual listeners but dedicated music fans, each one of them passionate about the folk, blues or roots music that they love and look to the network to deliver. As a radio broadcaster it means a lot to me to realise that I am reaching people with the same love of the music as me, and also as an independent musician the opportunity to have my music heard and appreciated, and connect with people worldwide is invaluable. The fast-growing listenership of Blues And Roots Radio is significant and is well served by the station and its programmes - shows that you would not find on traditional commercial or network radio, and in the post-big label music industry its role will become ever more crucial to the independent musician.”
— Paul Long, Producer, Musician, Broadcaster

" Blues and Roots Radio reminds me of my youth – when the pirate stations broadcast whatever the hell they liked and challenged the status quo with non-mainstream music. Contemporary music would not be what it is today without those who look beyond the big money for their musical kick. For better or worse, I have always lived on the edges of the mainstream and I am grateful to the likes of Stevie Connor and Blues and Roots Radio for finding another way to celebrate the beautiful underdogs " - ​Stephen Fearing ( Canada )
​Blackie & The Rodeo Kings, Singer / Songwriter / Producer

" Blues & Roots Radio's tag line is " The Voice of the Artist, " and the station is true to its promise. In a world where the medium has more often than not sought to eclipse the message, The Team make it their business to ensure that both the message of music and its messengers arrive safe and sound in homes around the world. This is a radio station run by folks with enthusiasm, generosity, determination, good humour, and - above all - integrity. In short, they're in it for the long haul, and for the right reasons " - Andrea England ( Canada ) Singer / Songwriter, Lemonade Factory Music

“Stevie Connor and his passionate team have done an outstanding job in providing a platform for both independent and signed artists to gain increased international radio exposure. Blues and Roots radio has greatly aided me with my album of the week promotion through a broadened fan base.” Ben J. Carter, Guitarist, Singer / Songwriter ( Australia )

" We could not have done without the support of Blues and Roots Radio, a phenomenally successful platform for artists to promote their music worldwide " Oka Vanga ( UK )

" I cannot thank Blues & Roots Radio enough for their sincere interest in my music. My first impression of their quality, far reaching, website was upheld by their gracious service, and rapid ex*****on of their promotional services. Independent artists now have a splendid resource to turn toward for worldwide exposure of their precious musical endeavors !

TOGETHER IS BETTER. Let’s talk about it.

Just published in The Sound Cafe Magazine, an anonymous contributor calls to attention the importance of the relationship between independent artists and media.

Direct link can be found in the thread, for those who want to have a read, and join the conversation.

EDIT: Erin here. After a handful of private inquires, please note that I am NOT the anonymous contributor of this piece. Although I agree with the sentiment that everyone does better when working together, I am technically classified as the “independent artist”, as referred to in the article.
