NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE -- The Sheagles, an all-female Eagles cover band, will now be booked for live shows by Now Hear This.  The announcement comes at the conclusion of a trip to Music City by NHT President Bruce Wawrzyniak.

We are pleased to welcome you to the new Internet home for Now Hear This, expanded and with new features.

“This is a very exciting time for Now Hear This,” said Bruce Wawrzyniak, the company’s president.  “We’ve got some new clients, we’re well into a new year, and, we were certainly overdue for a new website.

“I like the look and feel of what we’re showing now as well as the functionality of it.”

Singer/songwriter Sara Stearman is the newest artist to come under the Now Hear This umbrella.  Effective immediately, management, promotions, and booking services are underway on her behalf.

“After having met with her and continued our dialogue about working together, I’m pleased to see this become official,” NHT President Bruce Wawrzyniak said.  “In getting to know about Sara, she has certainly accomplished quite a bit already in her young career.  Our goal, of course, is to build from that and help in growing where she is headed musically.”

Chuck Sull is the newest addition signed to the Now Hear This client roster.  As a result of his skills, he forces NHT to drop the second word in the “Promoting Vocal Talent” company tagline when it comes to efforts on his behalf.

A longtime resident of the greater Tampa Bay area, he is a 12-string acoustic guitar player.

The theme of late for Now Hear This President Bruce Wawrzyniak seems to be ‘on the go.’  In addition to meetings and events in and around the greater Tampa Bay area, he has been and will continue to be on the road.

Ella Chadwell is the latest addition to the Now Hear This client roster.  A jazz vocalist with a sound reminiscent of standards, she has been performing in the greater Tampa Bay area, but is looking to NHT for a greater reach.

Although she did release a gospel CD many years ago, Chadwell’s second effort was a jazz CD, and she is currently planning her third recording project, which will also be jazz.

Nashville, Tennessee-based Ash Street Music has signed on with Now Hear This for marketing efforts on behalf of the music publishing company.  The initial phase of the work involved will focus on a complete re-branding campaign that NHT proposed.

An “Emerging Songwriters Hour” will feature three age 23-and-under artists at the 4th Pensacola Beach Songwriters Festival, taking place in the Florida panhandle in early October.  To be held on Friday night, October 5th at 7pm on the stage at the Paradise Inn, the 60-minute spotlight will include Melissa Brethauer, Jourdan Pace, and Courtney Yovich.  The one-hour feature will be presented by Now Hear This.

The current and prospective client and event list is surrounded with excitement.  Similarly, Now Hear This is encouraging all of those entities to reach deep and take advantage of the opportunity that is before them – and those that, by doing so, will manifest themselves.

A raffle grand prize has been turned into a benefit for Now Hear This clients.

While attending the Frank Brown International Songwriters Festival in Alabama, Now Hear This President Bruce Wawrzyniak bought tickets for and was the eventual winner of an acoustic guitar being raffled off over the course of the event.  The real winners, however, are current and future NHT clients.

The NHT president said, “I’d never played guitar, but I will now.  Honestly I must say that it seems logical and probably was inevitable.”
