February
1. Already a month has passed in 2013,
and how are you doing on your resolutions?
I know, I know, it’s a loaded question.
But I am quite sure I have not followed through on nearly enough of my resolutions so I’m going to look at that list again, maybe every day if I have
to (no really, I will!). Meanwhile,
Michael J. Media is as proud as ever, as we’re boasting some of the best
artists and releases we’ve ever had. So
go ahead. Avoid reading on further and
learning more about these artists at your own risk. You did have it on your list of resolutions
to discover more new music, didn’t you? If
not, there is still time to add that.
Okay, I’ll stop--and let the artists do the talking…..
New Clients

Philadelphia music scene and managing partner of Grammy Award Winning

winning WXPN, her music has been placed in independent films, TV movies,
documentaries and by national non-profit organizations.

Upcoming Releases
Poco All Fired Up (March 2013) For 45 years, Poco has been making music in the realm of
the classic country rock sound that they helped found in the late ‘60’s, one
that inspired other acts to follow suit – bands such as The Eagles, Firefall,
The Little River Band and Pure Prairie League.
But to persist across six decades, you need to have a rabid fan base
that considers your music to be a soundtrack to their lives, or continue to
evolve and refine your sound while staying true to your roots. Poco does both and it’s why their new studio
album -- their first in eleven years -- All
Fired Up, is a celebration of longevity and unparalleled songwriting. www.poconut.org
