The DIRECTOR: coming soon…

Be on the lookout for the brand new Artists’ Edge Content Management System! That’s right… it’s aptly called The Director, because it allows the user to have and maintain COMPLETE CONTROL over his or her own web site.

Not only will our clients be able to update their own textual content, but also photo uploads, photo galleries, music clips, blogs, podcasts, the list goes on and on.

More coming soon!

New Projects…

AED has several new projects going on, the latest being the almost-completion of the new Sonny Curtis CD.

Sonny is most remembered by his hit, “I Fought The Law (And The Law Won)” and the theme song from the Mary Tyler Moore Show, but this CD has some other really, really terrific songs. Look for it on iTunes soon, or visit Sonny’s web site at www.sonnycurtis.com.

Also on the table are a set of songbooks for the incredible Jim Horn, best known for his flute solo on the Mama and the Papa’s “California Dreamin’” as well as many others. Be on the lookout for songbooks featuring Jim’s solos with The Beatles, John Denver, and many others.



NEW! Artists’ Edge Blog…

Well, it’s finally here… the Artists’ Edge Design blog. It’s taken me a year to make the time to actually bring it to fruition, but it’s finally here!

For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Pamela Saxon and I’m the owner of Artists’ Edge Design. AED caters to artists, actors, musicians, dancers, and anyone in the entertainment industry who needs print or web design. We’re located in Nashville, TN, right smack-dab in the middle of the music industry! Be sure to visit our web site at www.artistsedgedesign.com.

We offer all kinds of things: CD packaging design, web design and hosting (HTML and Flash sites, as well as a kick-butt Content Management System which allows YOU to update everything yourself and save on those pesky monthly maintenance fees).

We also design postcards, posters, table tents, invitations, one-sheets, and anything else you can think of that will help you get your name and image out there.

Not only that, but we have teamed up with Hinchey Music Services, a first-rate music studio which offers everything from lead sheets to full-out arrangements and orchestrations. You can learn more about John Hinchey here or contact him via email directly at john@hincheymusic.com.

I’m hoping to post a monthly article on show business and the art of marketing and how they work together. Personal Branding is something that people like Oprah, Cher, and a few others have learned very well, and it’s something you can learn and take advantage of as well.
