It’s here! Watch the premiere of my OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO for my song “No Shelter” on Paste Magazine! Directed by Matthew Pizzano. Buy “No Shelter” on iTunes!
People of the world! I would love to recruit you for a silly but meaningful role in my musical life. As you probably know, being an independent musician means that I have no label or formal support system to promote my music… Other than fans of the music, word of mouth excitement, and the lovely people I have asked to be part of my career.
Telling your friends about my new record(s), putting up posters in your local coffee shops, requesting my songs at your local radio station, and/or simply changing your Facebook profile photo to support my latest release MAKES AN ENORMOUS DIFFERENCE. I cannot emphasize this enough: Every little bit of support, positive energy, and/or kind gesture of excitement makes a huge difference in spreading my music across the universe… Which is ultimately the goal I wish to achieve! I want as many people as possible to hear my music, simply because I believe we should ALL spread our creative contributions far and wide!
Anyway, if you are interested in being a part of my “STREET TEAM,” if you will, then please email me at katie(at)katiecostellomusic(dot)com! Being a part of my “Street Team” means being informed about random, little acts you can do in your community and/or on the interwebs to help spread the word about my music. In return, I will send you free/new music, and other secretive secret treats. This “Street Team” is an opportunity for us to work together and ideally take over the world. Who’s with me?! IF YOU ARE, email me at katie(at)katiecostellomusic(dot)com!
