Now Hear This President Bruce Wawrzyniak will hit the three major U.S. music markets in the next three months.  This week he will head to Nashville (with a trip out to San Diego next week), followed by a return to California next month for time in (Anaheim and) Los Angeles.  Then he will go to New York in the first part of September.

Kristen Schalk moving across the country to the greater Los Angeles area is a big step, but a logical one, since the Charlotte, North Carolina, resident’s steps are her business.  Just under seven weeks away from her 22nd birthday, the dancer has built up a résumé that is also now being challenged for space by a new category.

TASCAM has invited Bruce Wawrzyniak to attend the NAMM show in California next month to record interviews for “Now Hear This Entertainment” at their booth.  The event takes place January 19-22, 2017, at the Anaheim Convention Center.  NAMM is the National Association of Music Merchants.

Approximately six months after having been nominated in the Music category for the 11th Podcast Awards, “Now Hear This Entertainment” is up for another award.

NHTE is a nominee in Podster Magazine’s “Best Undiscovered Podcast” competition.  The winner will be announced December 15th.  Unlike the above, there are no genre categories this time.

“I have had my eye – and my ears! – on Julia Harbord for quite some time now,” Wawrzyniak said.  “She impressed me the first time I saw her perform.  Having kept her on the radar all that time, I’m thrilled to now have a formal working relationship.

“Now Hear This Entertainment” has been nominated in the Music category for the 11th Podcast Awards.  Online voting is underway through June 12th and the winners will be announced live on YouTube on Sunday, June 26th.

“What an honor this is,” said Now Hear This President Bruce Wawrzyniak, who hosts the weekly show.  “To see NHTE listed on the ballot along with all the others really does make you stop.  You know from analytics that the show has listeners worldwide, but when this type of recognition comes along it makes you feel good that people are taking notice.

Already having gotten listeners from 115 countries, the weekly show “Now Hear This Entertainment” has been added to a major platform, Google Play Music, making it possible to reach even more ears.

The weekly show “Now Hear This Entertainment” has come out of the gate in 2016 reaching new heights and earning lots of notice for doing so.
