Philosophy

Driftless Music is an independent promotions company that can most accurately be described as a freelance marketing, publicity, and sales agency that connects artists with the tools, support, services, and resources necessary to achieve their goals. Driftless Music’s brand and media platform also builds community by providing a destination for exclusive Driftless Area content and commentary.

Today, many independent musicians possess the tools and means to act as their own “record label”. Although, while manufacturing, distribution, and media resources are now as accessible as ever, many emerging artists lack the time and skills necessary to effectively utilize those resources in order to properly market and sell their album or creative project to a targeted audience of fans and industry influencers. Furthermore, the world of self-promotion is certainly rife with obstacles and the return-on-investment can often be minimal.

Driftless Music believes that like minded artists banding together can create more opportunities for one another and provide a more engaging and entertaining value proposition to their fans. Most importantly, their collective output, shared resources, and common audience allows them to be much more efficient in their attempt to overcome the obstacles of self-promotion, such as the fragmentation of the online world, the geographic fragmentation of existing and potential fans, the need to obtain multiple impressions, and the extremely crowded marketplace.

In addition to striving to become an resource for regional creativity, Driftless Music provides various marketing, publicity, and sales services on a commission basis to established and friendly musicians that fit our progressive & inspired folk / alternative / experimental niche.
