First off, I would recommend providing as many references as you are able. Something that you might overlook could establish notability. The fact remains that this: http://www.lasvegascitylife.com/articles/2004/06/23/cover_story/cover.txt is one sentence in an article. This article, for which he was on the cover was a mere promo gig: http://www.lasvegascitylife.com/articles/2011/03/11/music/stories/iq_42794819.txt. I generally don't prefer to give more information about uting|my personal life here, but I think several people know my background. I served as VP of an organization and worked to promote the organization and individual for three years, using the same (and more) of the PR tools that you have used. I took the organization national, international, then left. Of course, not before writing my first article for which I had a significant |conflict of interest. As far as KNPR SON, I've been the scheduled guest twice and know the staff very well and how the shows operate. The interviews may be reliable, but they fail independence. Promotions included working with all the publications that you mention. There has also been two entire pages of a life bio in the LVRJ, Sun, and indepth reports on television. There has been a short three ep doc on cable and a full-length doc currently making the rounds at festivals. A book is in the works. Quoting a portion of your claim, "the mere fact that a publication would want to specifically bio Garth at the same time a radio station would, struck me as... " a promotional blitz for the indie festival. If you work with the band, keep doing what you're doing. Find a notable indie or major label. Bypass self-releasing your music. Get out of LV and generate some press and reviews that are not mere gig promotions. And good luck. Best regards
