“KEEPS IT ON THE PEDESTAL WHERE IT BELONGS”
MEMPHIS, TN- Respected music industry veterans and Memphians, Jon Scott and David Fleischman, have announced the launch of All Memphis Music, www.AllMemphisMusic.com, the first Internet radio station devoted to ONLY music recorded in Memphis and by Memphis and Memphis area artists. Based in the City of Memphis, home of Elvis Presley and birthplace of the blues and rock n roll, All Memphis Music will program classics from Memphis artists such as Otis Redding, Elvis Presley, Sam & Dave, Booker T & the MG’s, Al Green, etc. and will also provide an outlet for local Memphis musicians to play their music.
Scott is a former WMC FM 100 d-jay and has worked in the music industry for more than 30 years. He is widely credited as having launched the career of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers while at ABC Records and worked closely with John Mellencamp, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Steely Dan, Jimmy Buffett, Elton John and many others. According to Scott, "Radio has changed so much and David and I felt that the Memphis Sound just wasn’t getting all the R-E-S-P-E-C-T that it deserves. We are programming as many Memphis songs as we can find, and would love for fans to tell us their favorites.”
Good friend and former musician David Fleischman, is a 32 year record executive, working at Atlantic Records and MCA Records and has run his own promotion company since 1997. Fleischman has worked with artists such as Led Zeppelin, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, and many more. Previous to working with Atlantic and MCA, Fleischman was the lead singer of 60’s Memphis band, Flash and the Board of Directors. He commented, "I know what it’s like to get a song played on the radio, and we hope that AllMemphisMusic.com can help lead to the signing of some of the great local talent we are blessed with, here in the real Rock N Roll capital of the world."
Scott continued, "We think the time has come to put a station devoted to only Memphis Music on the Internet, a place where it belongs, and when you listen to the station, you’ll understand why we are so excited. People from all over the world will listen to AllMemphisMusic.com, due to the tremendous global popularity of the Memphis Sound and the power of more people spending time on the Internet. We are already hearing that people are listening to us at work and at home and statistics show us they are listening for long periods of time. It’s really hard to turn it off because the music is so incredible."
“The station will rely on advertising for revenue and even though the station just went on the air, they have already received interest from sponsors. AllMemphisMusic.com will also offer the listener the opportunity to interact with the station. Scott commented, “We just received an e-mail from a fan in London and we expect the same from all over the world.”
