Blue Mountain Fellowship "USA 250" now at Country radio - Radio/Media Download

I grew up in a house where music was always on. My dad was a minister of music. My mom played piano and organ in church every Sunday. They were the saints. My grandfather pulled out his fiddle on Saturday nights - that side of the family kept things lively. They were the sinners. Both sides made me what I am. The records that played in our house ran the whole spectrum. Gospel and classical. Jazz and soul. Blues and Elvis. Bluegrass and country. Then later - Kiss and Van Halen, Led Zeppelin and ZZ Top. I never had to pick a lane. I loved all of it. I picked up every instrument I could get my hands on. Never read a chart in my life. I just listened, and I copied, and eventually I started writing my own. Growing up I wanted to be a rock star. Most kids do. I took the business path instead, and I'm grateful for it. It worked out. Now I've come full circle. The motivation isn't fame. It isn't fortune. It's just the music - getting it out of my head and into the world the way I always heard it. Blue Mountain Fellowship is the name I gave that work. What the Fellowship Stands For: Good Food. Football after tailgating on Saturday and after Church on Sunday. Faith when you are a saint and a sinner. We keep score with Football....but not with Faith. The kind of stuff that used to be the default and somehow became radical. Read the full article

The Power of Independence: How Indie Artists are Reshaping Radio

Independent artists and labels are no longer just a footnote in the music industry-they are actively driving the conversation on radio. An increasing number of creators are choosing to step away from traditional major-label systems, trading rigid corporate structures for absolute creative freedom and direct ownership of their careers. Backed by massive advancements in digital distribution and localized promotion, today’s independent musicians possess unprecedented leverage to reach fans, secure meaningful airplay, and build thriving, long-term careers strictly on their own terms. Of course, this independent revolution wouldn’t be possible without the fans. Listeners hold incredible power in elevating indie talent; every stream, digital download, social media share, and concert ticket purchase serves as a vital building block. Moreover, consistent listener requests to local and major-market radio stations are forcing programming directors to take notice, opening doors for deserving independent artists to break through the noise and capture national airplay. Breaking Through the Charts Zach Top The proof is in the data. Independent acts are proving they can go toe-to-toe with major-label powerhouse releases on today’s charts. Read the full article

Following the release of his 2015 debut, Jutt LP, Huffman stepped back to sharpen his songwriting and production craft.
