We are very excited to announce the launch of the new, official website for country music trio, Due West! The group that consists of Tim Gates, Matt Lopez, and Brad Hull, is receiving a lot of positive feedback on their debut single, "I Get That All the Time." New Music Weekly says Due West is "officially one to watch."

"Their new single, "I Get That All The Time," is nothing short of amazing, and their harmony will bring to mind that of Restless Heart or McBride & The Ride."
- Chuck Dauphin from New Music Weekly

Last week we launched a viral campaign for Eric Church to support his new album, Carolina. The campaign uses Eric's website as the hub of a massive contest in which four winners will win the Ultimate V.I.P. Experience.

MCN's proprietary platform is the machine behind the campaign, allowing users to earn POINTS by referring friends, family, and strangers to the website. We started motivating Eric's existing fan base, which is extremely enthusiastic, by giving them their own tools to facilitate spreading the message about the new album and contest. Each person who signs up has a unique referral link tied to their profile, and they are also able to gain POINTS by requesting "Love Your Love the Most," logging in to the site every day, and participating in weekly contests.

Web sales are reported to Soundscan, but the bigger payoff from this campaign is the huge wave of fan-generated awareness for the album. Carolina hits the street March 24.

MCN is proud to flip the switch on new sites for Pat Green and Kenny Rogers! We are stoked to have Pat Green join our family of managed communities. We converted the Dancehall member community along with a brand new redesign for Pat based on his new release, "What I'm For." We also danced a little pre-sale during the transition of his website and had great success combining autographed CDs with a Retrospective instant download to let people who are just now discovering Pat Green become familiar with his earlier work. The songs in the Retrospective download were hand picked by Pat himself. The Dancehall Deluxe package rounded out the presale with autographed copies of the book "Dancehalls & Dreamers" which documents some of the most famous dancehalls in Texas and the artists who play them. It contains some spectacular images and makes a great coffee table book.

We also launched the official site for Kenny Rogers, who is celebrating 50 years in the music industry, a feat we have to tip our hat to. The site is growing to include his discography, a timeline, and a VIP community. Kenny is also giving away a free MP3 download of "Something's Wrong in Vegas" when you sign up for his newsletter. Stay tuned for some huge news coming soon from the Kenny Rogers camp...2009 is going to be a great year!
