Now Hear This

The performing clients of Now Hear This are the eventual beneficiaries of a recent raffle prize won by the company’s president.

While in Alabama for the 27th Frank Brown International Songwriters Festival, NHT President Bruce Wawrzyniak bought in to the raffle that the organizers were holding for a guitar.  At the event’s conclusion, the drawing was held and Wawrzyniak was the winner.

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.”

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.

Backing up “promoting vocal talent” is seen in the news of Now Hear This President Bruce Wawrzyniak being named as part of the broadcast talent for the inaugural season of Orlando Titans lacrosse.

Drawing upon his previous roles on television and radio, Wawrzyniak will in 2010 provide color commentary on game broadcasts for the National Lacrosse League’s first Florida-based team.

Just in time for the start of a new month - which, as time flies, will soon be followed by the start of a new year - comes a new look for now-hear-this.net.

Said Now Hear This President Bruce Wawrzyniak, "We want very much to remain in the background and have our clients to be at the forefront of who our various audiences focus on.  However, there is an obvious reality in needing to maintain a modest yet professional image for Now Hear This through our website as much as through our other presentation vehicles and good old fashioned human interaction.

Like the diversity of its clients and the genres that their music spans, Now Hear This is expanding its horizons.  Spurred on by having branched out with a non-music-related product launch in late 2008, the West Central Florida-based company has recently done work for a health-care non-profit and is in talks with a potential new client that is also outside the scope of the music industry.  NHT President Bruce Wawrzyniak said, “The endeavor late last year seemed at the time like a special exception.  However, early in 2009 when someone accompanying a Now Hear This client start
