I borrowed the following excellent descriptive about the RMR chart from our friends, the Weary Ramblers (Chad Elliott & Kathryn Severin Fox) an Iowa based award winning super-duo who are also on this chart!!! Congrats you guys!
About the Roots Music Report
"Roots Music Report is the number one independent music chart in the world. We compile radio airplay data from radio stations around the globe that play all forms of roots music, so that each week you can see which independent artists are being played the most & by what stations are playing them.
Unlike some charts out there, the Roots Music Report charts are not subjected to radio promoter, special interest groups or record label input and we do not alter, accept payment for, or manipulate the airplay data to give special rankings on our charts. Stations reporting their play list is the only way for artist to appear on our charts and we do not pick and choose which DJ's and stations may report. If a radio station is broadcasting your music we think you should know about it and it should reflect on our charts. RMR is not owned by or influenced by any labels or record promoters as some charts are known for.
We strive to help the independent artists, and have been doing since 1998. Our goals are simple: provide real/honest radio airplay data for artists so they will be able to determine whether their promotion is working, and give them the tools to help make their radio promotion more effective."
THE TEAM
Last but not least, I want to thank our Hey Dave Music team for helping to make all of this happen: Mother Hen Promotions, Tom Pickles/Graphics, Peter Hay/Twin Vision, Stephen Albertson/Baby Robot Music, and Roger Feldhans/Photog Extraordinaire who provided the art work for the Witness Trees album. And to YOU out there in HeyDaveMusic land for your unwavering support.
GRATEFUL!!!!!
