DESERT RHYTHMS guide to live music |
| Company's Story: |
Desert Rhythms, a free monthly publication founded in 1995 by Editor in Chief, Robin Linn made its way to the forefront of the media by the late nineties. It was the only publication dedicated to the music of the Coachella Valley and is still an entity respected for its contribution to emerging artists. DR grew to circulate 40,000 copies per month to 325 locations throughout the Coachella Valley and Morongo Basin. We promoted hundreds of music events featuring international acts and introducing fresh new talent. Others have tried to follow in our footsteps but fall short by failing to recognize it is our own music community that has the wealth of talent readers want to connect to.
It has become clear that the Morongo Basin is ready for the same effort and we are bringing DR back to do what only it can. Connect fans to the music all around them they don’t even know exists! We will excite readers with features on amazing local music artists and bring them stories about issues that matter to them that they can’t find anywhere else. Readers can count on a comprehensive entertainment calendar with accurate information guiding them to shows and venues featuring all genres of music.
This February 2008, Desert Rhythms will return and our first issue dedicated to the music of the California high desert in the Morongo Basin. We will provide comprehensive coverage of music events and a complete guide to live music in the Coachella Valley, Morongo Basin, Inland Empire and Southern California. We will print 10,000 copies distributed to over 200 locations.
THRIFT STORE ALLSTARS, WILLFUL FAILURE, ANDY K will be featured in the February issue of DR. Click on the featured artists tab to read quotes from the up-coming story, hear samples of their music, and find links to their sites.
