AMERICANA MEDIA PRODUCTIONS

Americana Radio Promotion and Video Production

Chance Austin aka Fred Boenig Americana Radio Promotion Americana Media Productions is an Americana radio promotion and music video production company for Indie Americana/Roots artists..

Started in 2001, for the purpose of helping the "self released" and independent Americana Music artists that were essentially blocked from the Top 40 of the Americana Music chart due to lack of finances and/or representation by promoters that focused on label artists. Americana Media Productions has established itself as one of the top indie Roots Americana radio promotion companies for Self Released and Independent Roots/Americana Music artists involved in the format today. We are part of the Artist Development Co Op, a group of professionals that include ADC Film, a Americana Music video production company making quality music videos for very reasonable prices, Songs with Vision, a film placement and web marketing company and the #1 Roots / Americana Music magazine in the US (per Alexa) The Alternate Root.

Our syndicated Americana Music TV show , Alternate Root TV is currently being picked up in major markets around the country.

Our clients are among some of the Top Independent Americana Artists in the format. We use a very "Hands On" approach that not only educates the artist in every aspect of radio promotion, but develops personal relationships with the Americana radio professionals that program this music. This approach has had a very high success rate with our ability to chart artists in the Top 40 and many in the Top 10. We work with mostly new unknown artists and 80% of our clients chart in the Top 40 of the Americana Music Chart.

No other radio promotions company in this format, provides video/graphics technology, web presence, radio promotion experience and track record of success with independent artists for the price.

You must ask yourself "Why would I pay more for less?"

Together our team of professionals have over 100 years of combined experience in Americana Radio, Americana and Rock Radio Promotion, Film Placement, Video Production and major label experience.

"Our goal is to be the first radio promotions company in the Americana format to actually move the needle and make a real difference for independent Americana Musicians."
