"Publisher's Note"

Welcome to the Fall/Winter 2001/2002 issue of the Online Edition of Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter. We apologize for the delay since the last edition.  Due to a variety of delays, the Spring issue wasn't online until the summer.  The Fall issue was in production when the events of September made this all seem quite a bit less important.  There was no Fall issue of the Country Music Industry Edition of our print publication, and we didn't publish a Fall issue of the Online Edition, either.  In any case, we hope you enjoy this issue and look forward to bringing you much more coverage in the future.  If you enjoy what you read here, we encourage you to subscribe to our two quarterly print publications, the Industry Edition and the Country Music Industry Edition, in which we cover unsigned and independent bands only.  You can check out our reasonable subscription rates by clicking through to the printable subscription form.

About me: Since 1989, my articles have been published in several local, regional, and national publications. During that time, I have seen many outstanding bands go unnoticed. It is my goal to introduce as many of these great bands as possible to interested fans and music industry insiders. Therefore, with your support, I bring the best of the music industry to music fans, while introducing the national music industry to the best unsigned acts, especially via the print-format Industry Editions.

Also, if you want to stay up-to-date on the latest news about Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter, including a reminder when each new issue is placed online, sign up for the Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter announcement mailing list by sending a blank e-mail to gwrn-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.  You'll get a monthly update with the latest information about Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter.  It will include upcoming events, writer and publisher public appearances, deadlines, and other news about Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter.  It will also let you know when the website is updated with new quarterly editions.  One update is scheduled each month with, at most, 5-10 additional news flashes per year possible if and when last minute events occur.  In other words, it will be infrequent enough that it won't clog up your e-mailbox.  (So far, in the two-plus year history of the e-mail list, we have sent one news flash.)  If you ever want to get off the monthly announcement list, you'll be able to do it easily by sending an e-mail to gwrn-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com.

Thanks for reading!

Cheers!

Geoff Wilbur
