  • Golden Gate Grooves
    THE GOLDEN GATE BLUES SOCIETY NEWSLETTER Issue 6, July 2010 GOLDEN GATE GROOVES FROM THE EDITOR Deb Lubin The period since the last newsletter was published was very busy, with planning for upcoming blues society events, going out to hear our favorite local blues bands, and our annual pilgrimage to Memphis in May for the Blues Music Awards. The BMAs are a wonderful event that all blues lovers should attend at least once. This year in Memphis, we got to see many of our favorite musicians from the Bay Area, among them Rick Estrin and the Nightcats, including Kid Andersen; the entire Tommy Castro Band, which took home several awards; Laura Chavez and Kennan Shaw from Candye Kane's band; Maria Muldaur, and others with Bay Area ties. I had so much fun reconnecting with old friends both on and off the stage. Meanwhile, the GGBS is rolling. We're getting ready for several big events that we're either sponsoring, partnering with, or supporting, including the 5th annual Redwood City Blues Festival in July, the first U.S. events of the European-based charity United by Music , the San Jose Jazz Festival in August, and events to select a member band to compete in the Blues Foundation's International Blues Challenge (IBC) in Memphis in February 2011, among others. Please look for information about all of these events in this issue of the newsletter. In addition, East Bay musician/cat lover/pre-war blues specialist Joel Fritz reviews four CDs by local bands.

  • Bandpage & Rhapsody Discover Major
    BANDPAGE & RHAPSODY DISCOVER MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH IN THE WAY MUSICIANS MONETIZE STREAMING Using Streaming Behavioral Data Is 10 Times More Effective Than Facebook at Driving Music Customers to Musician’s Stores San Francisco ­ August 19, 2015 ­­ BandPage, the central profile that over 500,000 musicians ​ use to engage and sell to hundreds of millions of fans, and Rhapsody, the music streaming pioneer, have announced the numbers from their recently launched partnership and the results are staggering. This partnership is focused around BandPage’s behavioral data algorithms which enable musicians to reach and connect with their biggest customers on streaming services. Over the first few months of the partnership, push notifications have been sent to thousands of consumers and the level of engagement on these notifications far exceeds typical click­through rates for other powerful platforms often used by musicians. On average, this click­through rate is twice as high as Google Search1, 10 times higher than average Facebook ads2 and over 50 times more effective than web display advertising.3 Click­through rate is a metric used by marketers to evaluate the relevance and appeal of a marketing message to a potential customer, in this case a music fan. Rhapsody leverages BandPage’s data analytics engine to identify super­fans, the artist’s most engaged and passionate fans. Based on real­time analysis at the time a Rhapsody user plays a track, a highly relevant push notification is sent to the fan with a message from the artist. These messages notify fans of special experiences available in that artist’s BandPage Store or let the user know if the artist is coming to their town to play a gig.
