Indie Band “20 Minutes To Park” Gaining Ground with Strategic Music Marketing

July 22, 2009 - PRLog -- 20 Minutes To Park has swiftly been gaining recognition among underground music devotee’s due in large part to their inventive marketing strategy.  The acoustic rock-soul group has been touring and circling the independent music scene for over seven years.  By putting out a free song per week through their website, 20 Minutes To Park is starting to see their following quickly grow.  

20 Minutes To Park, or “20MTP” to fans, has been touring and putting out music as an independent band for over seven years.  They were recently selected to be in the Sponsored Songs Program run through ReverbNation(R) and made possible by Microsoft(R) Windows - giving away free music to people across the globe with 1000+ other popular artists.  Seeing that free music was an attractive marketing device, the group decided to put out a free song per week, indefinitely.  Josh Gilmore of the group says, “More often than not people are downloading the music they love for free off of any given number of file sharing sites. We wanted to save our fans the trouble, and allow them to download a quality copy of our songs right off our site – a new one every week.”  20 Minutes To Park is taking donations, but is hoping that their fans will simply spend money otherwise spent on their songs on concert tickets and other merchandise.

New free music from 20 Minutes To Park can be downloaded at www.20MTP.com.  Their next free single is “Stranger of Mine,” and is scheduled for release July 24th, 2009. Free music from 20 Minutes To Park and 1000+ other artists can be found at www.myspace.com/windows.  

About 20 Minutes To Park

20 Minutes To Park is still kicking, screaming, and rocking after 7 years!  After playing hundreds of shows, meeting a palette of interesting people, and creating dozens of songs along the way, they truly realize what it means to be musicians. It doesn’t have much to do with guitar technicality, rock star outfits, album artwork, or Twitter followers – even though those might help a little. Sustainability in music revolves around one vital attribute – sincerity.  Their goal as musicians is to capture that sincerity and never let it escape.  To sum things up – they are just a couple guys that love creating music.

20 Minutes To Park plans on releasing one single a week up until their new album release on September 22nd, 2009.  Find more information at www.20MTP.com.
