I figured that the first band that I should introduce to you all would be the Bethesda Bluegrass Band. This is the group that I currently play guitar and sing in. The lineup that we have now has been together for a little over nine months now, consisting of myself (Bailey Coe), Connor Hagwood, Caleb Hagwood, Jackson Hagwood and Nathan Aldridge. Nathan is the youngest at 15 and Caleb is the oldest at 21. We normally communicate to potential clients and fans through Facebook, Gig Master, or E-mail. Social media such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube play a major role in us getting our name out there and getting bookings. On Facebook we have a little over 1,300 likes from a wide range of people from various places. Social media and the internet are imperative to our success as a group and also to simple provide more people with the opportunity to listen to bluegrass music.
Check us out on Facebook and gives us a like. Our web site, www.bethesdabluegrassband.com, where you can find out more about us, where we will be and where we have been. In the mean time, enjoy this studly picture of us all. Thanks!
I looked you guys up and you sound great! I think it is really smart to utilize social media such as Youtube and Facebook to promote your band. You may also be interested in an upcoming theatrical production that will be produced next December at Triad Stage in Greensboro, North Carolina. "Beautiful Star" is an original work by Artistic Director and Co-founder Preston Lane that incorporates bluegrass style music by Laurelyn Dossett into the story line.

ReplyDeleteI love your blog idea! Bluegrass is one of my favorite genres of music and I have found so many band I like online. The internet is a great thing for local bands to use when promoting their music and shows! A lot of the smaller bands I like that do their own PR use facebook and youtube all the time, they are great resources!
ReplyDeleteI have to confess that I have never really been big on bluegrass music. However, I think that this blog is a really great way to use the internet as a way to market and inform people about bluegrass. I will sure have to look into coming to see you guys since you perform so close to where I live.
