The Cumberland Trio receiving airplay on more than 600 radio stations around the world!

We are proud to update you that the Trio's music from all three of our CDs- 1964 RCA, 2001 Reunion Concert (live) & 2004 Back Where We Began (live)- is receiving heavy airplay on over 600 major FM radio stations around the world, and the list continues to grow! About 1/3 of the stations are FM's all over the USA, as well as 89 from Australia alone! Also we are receiving airplay from at least one station in EVERY country in both eastern and western Europe, as well as throughout Canada and other countries scattered throughout the World. The word is REALLY spreading!!

This has been made possible by a wonderful service for Independent label music like ours called RadioDirectX (www.radiodirectx.com) based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. RDX faciliates over 5500 FM radio stations around the World receiving extensive samples of Indy label artists' music of many genres, and the stations then emailing the artists they like, requesting CDs for airplay on their stations. Our genre categories are folk, bluegrass, Gospel, blues, Americana, reggae, classical and children's music.

There are about 1050 stations on RDX list that play these categories, and to this point we have over half of them playing The Cumberland Trio! Thanks to RadioDirect X and all of you, our fans, friends, The UT National Alumni Association and www.CDReviews.com 's Cindy Hill for making it possible for our dream to come true after a 40 year hiatus. It has been well worth the wait! THANK YOU ALL!
