About
Other people collect stamps, we promote artists."SONGS & WHISPERS" is a live - music and artist development network.
We are presenting live music in venues in Bremen and other befriended places in Europe. We are putting on shows with international and local artist and are covering the genres: Alternative Folk, Alternative Country, Americana, Bluegrass, Singer-Songwriter and some unclassifiable music too.
The agency [ps] promotion has been running the international music network “SONGS & WHISPERS” since January 2009, cooperating with several German and European/international partners. Its aim is to support the development of German and international musicians and its focus is acoustic music in many different ways: from solo-artists to ensembles the size of an orchestra. The “SONG” in its many forms is the focus of our networking.
The network consists of the following elements:
CIRCUITS
A monthly concert series through the northwest of Europe over 25 days. Usually, two to three artists per CIRCUIT are introduced. The concerts are generally free to attract more people. About 30 locations take part in the CIRCUIT and the artists play there regularly every month.
PRESENTS
Individual tours through the north-west of Europe for selected artists, after having completed a CIRCUIT. Often, these tours go along with a CD release.
LABEL
A professional record LABEL which distributes CD’s as well as downloads worldwide via their partners Cargo Records and Zebralution.
FESTIVALS
Self-organised FESTIVALS or performances at events like Breminale or the Festival Maritim, two festivals in Bremen. For these festivals, artists from the CIRCUIT and the PRESENTS concerts meet several times per year and tour together.
SPECIAL
Special events in exclusive locations like the “Sendesaal Bremen” which is a philharmonic concert hall. We advertise and document these events extensively. SPECIALS take place in Paris, London and other European cities and are supervised by local artists.
SCHOOL
Our “Edutainment” – programme which enables direct interaction between the “SONGS & WHISPERS” artists and pupils from grade 6 to 13. The pupils work together with the artist and they are encouraged to discover their own musical potential. The artists perform in schools and the pupils perform at regular CIRCUIT concerts in the evening.
STUDIO
A professional recording studio which the “SONGS & WHISPERS” artists are free to use! Our “PAY AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE” approach is symbolic with our philosophy and our motivation.
RECOMMENDS
"S&W" RECOMMENDS is a format to promote shows by bands who are friends of the network.
