Hi, I'm Michael Pickett...working as 'Pickett' (since there's a blues musician in Canada named Michael Pickett...helluva nice guy, but he got the name first).

Since I grew up with big music and classical pianist parents, I gravitated--for some reason--to big rock and pop a la Rush, Van Halen, Boston, Chicago, Toto, Def Lepp and others.  But many of my $$ gigs were in country bands, and I was the only white kid from Alaska in the SoCal reggae band Alliance, etc.  So I have what I call a 'schizophonic' approach to music.  Big rock and pop with all kinds of underlying elements finding their way in.

I'd love some feedback on the music and the site as anyone has time.  I'm at: http://www.m-overdrive.com/pickett

 

...and I'll look forward to checking out fellow artists...I'm finding some of the names alone super-intriguing. 🙂

 

best,

Michael aka Pickett

Hey Michael,

 

Everything looks and sounds good. I'd just make sure you also have a squeeze page out there as well. The site looks good but won't do much to build your list.

 

Good stuff and thanks for sharing.

Having trouble with your marketing? Wish you could have an experienced direct-to-fan marketing expert look over your actual campaigns, music, or content and offer feedback? Or perhaps you’re just looking for a little one-on-one assistance so you can ask questions that pertain to your specific goals and get a second, more experienced, perspective?

Thanks John...

 

Yeah, I had a kind of 'make-shift' squeeze page (actually a redirect) off my ezine articles, and I'm in the process of contracting to have one built that works with the Nimbit service I subscribe to.

I definitely see the value of a bona fide squeeze page.
