CLIENTS REVIEWING US:
Harvie S, www.harvies.com
I want to thank you for doing such an exceptional job promoting my CD "Cocolamus
Bridge" with radio and press. You went the extra mile and I am sure we
will work on many more projects in the future.
Ulysses Owens, It's Time
for U
I just gave u a glowing referral to a friend of mine.. He asked me about
your work, and I told him to look no further! He will get his money's worth
and more!! U are the best, and everyone needs to know it!
Carol Morgan, (Opening
& Blue Glass Music), Jazz Trumpeter, Blue Bamboo Music recording artist

Kari-On Productions--more
than worth the investment. - I'm lucky to have great friends--some of whom
are well-respected NYC jazz musicians who all recommended publicist/radio
promoter Kari Gaffney to me as I was looking to raise the level of exposure
that my music was receiving. When friends like this say flat out, "Morgana,
this is what you need to do," you don't question. You get out your wallet
and find a way to make it happen. On the other hand, if you don't have the
good fortune to associate with these types of players (yet), then approaching
anything as a consumer these days is cause for pause. At present you can actually
depend on 'working with' costumer 'service' representatives that either can't
do their job, or don't care enough about their work to simply try. I well
know the phone calls we all dread. They start with an infuriating automated
obstacle course, and end with a person who may transfer you to a nonexistent
extension at their whim. And just when you think you've found the magic, coddling
words to actually and eventually get the services that you have already paid
for, along comes someone who really does understand what it means to work
hard, and do a great job--the way you do. Maybe it's because she's a successful
musician, too. Enter: Kari Gaffney. There
was absolutely no downtime to question my friends' "recommendation"
(insistence). After checking out her website, I called her around 5pm on a
Friday evening. Half an hour later (much to my amazement), she called back.
She had been to my website, checked out my music, and was enthusiastically
prepared to commit. That seemed greatand I had no idea how great. Literally
within minutes of the start of my CD's radio add day, my music was being played
all over the US and beyond on Jim Wilke's Jazz After Hours. I went
from having two previous very under-the-radar releases to charting in the
US and Canada, recording radio tags for various stations, giving interviews,
and getting rave reviews
I had gotten to a point in my career where I really wanted to share my music with more people. My friends believed in my music. Kari Gaffney believed in my music. Thanks to her exceptional spirit, talent, and diligence--and her hard-working staff--a whole new audience is hearing my music. I have the utmost respect for her as a publicist and as a person. I recommend Kari-On Productions without hesitation to anyone and everyone who is ready to move their career forward.
Marty Williams, "Long Time Comin" Kari Gaffney is the consummate professional and a true master of her craft. She's incredibly easy to engage with and powerfully effective at what she does. The investment I made to engage Kari-On Productions to promote my first vocal CD, Long Time Comin', was, without a doubt, one of the best investments of my life. I could never have gotten the national recognition or acclaim I've received had it not been for Kari's talent, commitment and amazing energy. My wife and I comment regularly about how fortunate we are to have connected with Kari, and how appreciative we are of the huge difference she made by promoting my CD. I cannot recommend Kari highly enough. If you are an artist wanting your musical voice to be heard, you should not think twice about your choice to engage Kari-On Productions to help you make huge leaps in your musical journey. I know I will work with Kari on all my future musical endeavors.
Michael Cottone, Just Remember
"Working with Kari Gaffney was one of the easiest things I've ever done.
After a personal recommendation from a friend and fellow musician, I made
the call and was greeted by one of the most genuinely nice people I've ever
worked with. Everything about my entire album project to that point took a
tremendous amount of effort, but the promotional step was a breeze. I needed
radio play and magazine reviews and trusted that Kari would deliver. She never
ignored a phone call or email to make sure I was getting what I needed, when
I needed it. Working with Kari pushed my career to the next level."
Matt Garrison, Familiar Places
"The first
time I spoke to Kari at Kari-On Productions, I knew I was getting involved
with someone very confident and serious about what they do. I could sense
in her voice that there was an excitement about my music and the chance to
get the album out there. And it wasn't that I was just another client, I could
tell that her and her staff would be behind me 100%. It's obviously important
that in any business relationship, communication is part of the key to success.
With Kari, I always feel like I can ask questions, and call or contact her
any time I need something. This is a very reassuring feeling, and since this
is my first record as a leader, I now have a strong model of what a publicist
should do for an artist. I recommend her to every musician I come into contact
with. If you want your music to be heard, Kari-On Productions is the way to
go."
CHRIS GRAHAM TRIO, AFTER-BIRTH
OF COOL 8/26/10
Kari Gaffney is "THE REAL DEAL". The "After-Birth of Cool"
is the Graham family's initial attempt at a self-released jazz CD. The two
year effort of pulling it all together was a major accomplishment. But, the
question arosewhat do we do now? Fortunately,
the jazz god's were smiling on us the day that Kari contacted Chris about
helping to promote the CD. Her partner had heard one of the tracks and suggested
promoting the CD. Up to that point the Graham's knew next to nothing about
what we were going to do with the boxes of CD's we possessed. Well, that one
email started it all and we have never looked back. Professional, caring,
and helpful is what Kari is all about, but the most wonderful part of Kari
is her enthusiasm in getting the music out there for people to experience.
That is the "priceless" part of Kari-On Productions! She has been
there for us always and has patiently answered all our questions and more.
So what can the Graham family say about Kari-On Productions? We say, "JUST DO IT!" Do not hesitate. Find a way to make it happen.
Kari has the Graham family respect and thanks
for helping a musical career move forward. Kari-On Productions will continue
to be with the Graham family in future CD releases! Thanks Kariyou are
so much more better than good!
James Zollar Zollar Systems
Kari Gaffney is a total 100% hands on music promotional company, She has
a great ear on how to market your particular sound to the music masses of
a lot of different Genres. Also she is very honest about business and music
air play. At first I thought it was a scam but she is for real. I applaud
Kari Gaffney & Kari-On Productions for their hard work on getting the
music out there. And you may Carry On! James Zollar. (the original) J.Z
David Widelock Trio, Skating On the Sidewalk
Kari knows her end of the music business inside-out, she works hard for her
clients, and she gets the job done. Plus she was in frequent contact with
me on airplay and reviews. I've tried to do this myself before, and I never
came close to the results she got for me-charting on three national charts
and a slew of reviews..
Dan Moretti, Tres Muse
& Foundations
I have been in the game for many years and have learned the ins and outs
of the industry. The mystery of promotion is unveiled with Kari Gaffney. Not
only is she at the forefront of the latest approaches to promotion but she
truly cares about what she does. Kari had the same passion about pormoting
my music as I have about recording and performing it. The proof is in the
great results she gets. I am so glad I found her.
Kate Reid, Sentimental
Mood
It so important, in this business, to surround yourself with the best
- from musicians to your recording engineer and mixing/mastering staff to
your publicist/radio promoter - Kari is THE BEST! From the beginning, I have
had complete trust in her recommendations, her decisions and guidance in presenting
my CD "Sentimental Mood". Kari's excellent reputation and years
of experience allow her to get my music to the right people! I look forward
to working with Kari Gaffney with my future CD releases!!!
Eric Byrd, Brother Ray
We wanted to take our latest release to the next level attempting to achieve
that in every conceivable way: musicianship, photography, song selections,
CD design and packaging, etc. Kari-On Productions exceeded our expectations
by working as hard as we were working. Within 3 months of our release, Kari
got us on 2 nationally distributed radio charting agencies, had our CD played
all over the nation, and we got over 20 reviews ALL WITHIN 3 MONTHS! Ive
gotten 2 calls in the last week from the news media because of Kari. For us,
the choice is simple: if you want someone to put as much effort into the publicity/radio
side of your project as youve put in to the music side, dont look any further
than Kari-On Productions.
Paul Carr, Just Noodlin'
My name is Paul Carr, saxophonist and teacher here in the Washington DC.
Area. I just wanted to shoot you a quick note about Kari Gaffney. I learned
about Karis work as a publicist from a fellow sax player in town, I
told him that my new CD Just Noodlin was about to be released.
Perry (his name), said Man, you should use this publicist Kari Gaffney
to promote and get reviews for your CD. Perry went on and on talking
about how great Kari was. After I checked out all the reviews and all the
attention Perry had gotten on his project, I decided to use Kari. That was
the best move I ever made, and the BEST money I ever spent. I started getting
reviews in the FIRST WEEK! The reviews just kept coming and coming. Some rags
and sites reviewed the CD twice. Theres no way I could have gotten those
many reviews without Kari. Kari is a hard working, professional, smart and
very easy to work with. Kari is also an excellent writer as well. When I finish
my next project later this year, my first call will be to Kari. I really cant
say enough good things about her work.
Gene Ess, Sandbox and Sanctum
& Modes of Limited Transcendence
Kari stands out in the crowded profession of music PR. Putting your trust
into someone with your art can be quite frustrating, but Kari has done a great
job with my album. For me, her sensitivity to music from an artistic standpoint
convinced me she knew what she was doing. Don't waste your time with others,
give Kari a call.
Nicki Gonzalez, Moron Love
Kari, youve done such a fantastic job. Your enthusiasm for my music and my
success has been so uplifting. Your service satisfied my need to feel like
I gave my music the shot it deserved. The reviews thus far give me plenty
to post and boast of on my website. Im more than satisfied. Thanks so much!.
Bill Hart, Subject To Change
Recently I was signed to Blue Canoe records, I felt my association with Kari-On
Productions was a predominate factor in achieving this goal. I absolutely
think it helped me with getting the record deal with Blue Canoe. I think working
with Kari brought my appearance and my product to another level. I couldn't
have done it with out her.
Jeff
Presslaff Trio, Red Goddess
Your support and enthusiasm means a lot to me. Thanks so much. Calling you
was clearly one of the best decisions I've made in a long long time.
Lua Hadar,
Bellalua Records, a division of New Performance Group
We were so thrilled to get our CD out around the country and around the world,
to receive reviews and Top 10 ratings. We would NEVER have been able to do
enough live performances to get this kind of wide-reaching feedback. Kari-On
Productions has the network, the knowledge and the relationships to make this
happen. I highly recommend their work!
Leslie Lewis
& Gerard Hagen, Of Two Minds
Thank you very much for all you have done to promote our project "Of
Two Minds". Your enthusiasm for this music made us choose you to promote
it and you really did walk the walk. We are thrilled with everything that
you were able achieve in terms of airplay (getting us charted at #28) and
print media (getting us numerous written reviews). You more than earned your
fees and we feel that we received the best bang for the buck. Please feel
free to send any potential clients our way if they require a recommendation
from current clients.
Ryan Fraley,
Wave Mechanics Union, Second Season
Were thrilled and honored to have Kari promoting our CD. She has a potent
combination of genuine enthusiasm, tireless work ethic, seemingly endless
contacts & resources, and magnificent skill in the art of promotion. Its
a perfect storm that has put us in front of more eyes and ears than we would
have believed. Well be working with her again for all future recording projects,
no question!
Karen Johns of Karen Johns & Company,
Star and Season (PtarmiganMusic/Jazz)
It is with distinguished pleasure I fully
endorse and highly recommend Kari-On Productions and Melodic Promotions. It
has been a most rewarding journey working with Kari Gaffney, and the entire
team. They not only got our album 'out there' and on the map in a big way,
propelling the CD into Top 10 station charts, and gleaning excellent media
reviews on our behalf, but they educated us with regard to the process of
successful artistry, jazz promotion, and career building. Kari Gaffney resonates
with her clients- every client counts; each client is her company's primary
interest. Regarding the overall care and handling that Kari Gaffney and the
team engaged with the campaign for Karen Johns & Company and our CD Star
and Season: It was merely the beginning of a wonderful, ongoing business
relationship. Bravo Kari-On Productions and Melodic Promotions! And thank
you!
Masha Campagne,
Caminhos Cruzados (Crossroads)
Masha Campagne, Vocalist, Recording Artist, Teacher
Bringing Kari Gaffney and Kari-On Productions to head print publicity campaign
for my CD release has made ALL the difference. Her knowledge of the industry,
her innovative approach to publicity and her relentless optimism were aspects
which made Kari a KEY player in my national publicity campaign. The real secret
to our success however was that she was genuinely excited about my music,
appreciating me as an artist who she is proud to represent. Thank you once
again!
Jacob Varmus, All The Things
We Still Can Be
Trumpeter/Composer, Artistic Director, Astoria Music Society's Jazz Series
Kari Gaffney has followed through on all of her promises to me and delivered
so much more. The press coverage she has gotten for me has opened doors, helped
get me new opportunities as a film scorer, and helped me to present more effective
press kits for grants that are currently funding my creative projects.
Aside from her attacking the day to day tasks of garnering press and airplay,
she has been especially helpful as a patient and informed advisor. A few times
a year I call Kari and we talk at length about where we are going, where we
want to go, and what we need to do to get there. I am also comfortable calling
and asking for help with day-to-day issues, and she has been almost overwhelmingly
generous with her time and information. A night before a gig in Baltimore
I needed to find a replacement for a pianist. She called every contact she
had in Maryland and kept coming back with more pianists' numbers and eventually
we got it solved.
Knowing that I have her in my corner, prodding me along and advocating for
my music relentlessly, gives me a feeling of direction in my career while
the press provides tangible evidence to anyone else that I am on my way. It's
a great feeling to do business with someone you trust and admire and that's
what I have with Kari.
LaVerne Christie, East of the Sun, West of the Moon
For the 'new artist' please read: I was finishing up with the duplicator
when I saw an ad for Kari-On Productions, so I wrote Kari asking for advice
about what to do next. After she listened to my CD, she took me on as a client
and do I ever consider myself lucky. I now have a killer Epress Kit, a growing
number of reviews and really satisfying airplay across the country.
I moved into a tough market not long ago (Las Vegas). It's hard to find a
lot of work here without a following and the booking people are reluctant
to take a chance on somebody new. But yesterday I was interviewed on the local
jazz radio station and my trio has been asked to play a concert at one of
the city's cultural centers.
Kari knows who, what, when and where. Do you? Even if you do, how much time
do you want to spend away from your music?
And on the personal side, when Kari called to tell me that our CD had made
it onto one of the jazz charts, she was clearly as tickled as I was. She's
like a member of the family now and I'll seek her out the next time I record.
Ron Kearns, Independent
Producer www.ronkearns.com
Kari Gaffney came to my attention because of the fine work she has done for
some of my clients. As a producer I take great pride in my work and my clients'
products and want them to get the most and best exposure they can get. Kari-on
Productions does just that. Kari Gaffney is a kindred spirit and I recommend
her to my clients without reservation.
Debbie Poryes, A Song In Jazz
Kari Gaffney is organizing my print and Internet publicity campaign to get
my CD out to jazz publications and critics. She is an absolute doll to work
with, very detail oriented and I'm learning a lot from her about publicity.
This is also a first for me, to work with a publicist, and I feel very fortunate
that it's Kari!
Andreas Hagiioannu (UK
jazz guitarist), Far and Wide
I'd warmly recommend Kari Gaffney's publicity services to any musician.
Kari handled the press and radio for my debut album Far and Wide, and I was
thrilled with the results. As a UK artist (jazz guitarist and composer) it
was important for me to find a publicist with the experience, integrity and
professionalism to raise awareness of my music in the States. Kari excels
in all these qualities and seriously delivers. She is a great communicator
and has proven extremely diligent in handling all the day-to-day matters of
promoting the album - providing me with constant feedback, and always promptly
returning calls and emails. She has boundless energy and enthusiasm to match
her professionalism - when she pledges to do something you can rest assured
it will get done. Moreover, she is an excellent musician herself, and genuinely
understands the nuances of the music, the needs of her artists, and how best
to achieve their goals. She has a 'can-do' mentality that is infectious and
once she's on the case, you can bet she won't let up until she gets results.
From the outset, Kari has been a pleasure to work with, and I won't hesitate
to call on her services again! If you're looking for a first-rate publicist,
with the expertise and wherewithal to get your music noticed, look no further
than Kari Gaffney.
Jose Duque - Far Away,
Zumbatres
Having never used the assistance of a publicist, to fall in the hands
of Kari, have been a blessing, not only she has the contacts, and knows who
to contact. But also there is a familiar feeling with her handling of things
and a camaraderie that you only find with very close friends and family. Not
only I have got great reviews, from hard to get critics, but they also keep
coming!!!. I wish there were more people out there in the music business,
that were as down to earth, caring, with so much professionalism and honesty
as Kari Gaffney
..I believe we will all be in better hands and
doing a better job with our music quests.
Alex Levin Pianist - NY,
NY, A Reason For Being Alone
Kari Gaffney is a superb publicist, and I feel very fortunate to be one of
her clients! Since the beginning of our campaign in support of my new album,
she has worked tirelessly on my behalf, and she has successfully garnered
reviews of my music from many of my favorite publications, including All About
Jazz New York and Jazz Improv.
A musician herself, Kari cares about making sure that her clients' recordings are heard. If you are considering a campaign with her, rest assured that every single one of your concerns will be addressed, every phone call promptly returned, and your music will be reviewed. Besides all of her work on the phone, Kari has created a wonderful EPK (electronic press kit) for my new CD as well!
Musicians spend too much of their time promoting themselves, but working with Kari has taken me away from my desk and freed me to do what I love: play music. She is so supportive of her artists, and I will certainly call her first once my next recording is finished!
Alex Clements, Emily's Song
My name is Alex Clements. I am a Canadian jazz pianist/composer/arranger.
I just wanted to tell you a bit about Kari and how she works. I hired Kari
to get reviews of my solo piano CD in December. The results were excellent.
I never hired a publicist before and I always rely on my gut instinct with
people and I got a good feeling and it paid off. It definitely was a risk
worth taking. The price was definitely worth it as reviews are forever.
Craig Schumacher, New Shoes
I can say with absolutely no hesitation that Kari Gaffney is exceptional
at what she does. She has been a professional with a capitol "P."
Gone the extra mile. Straight-forward, no bullshit. Does what she says she's
gonna do and usually much much more. You will not find another person with
as much sincerity, integrity, thoughtfulness, humility. Everything she did
for me was well worth the investment. She's the first person I'm calling when
I release the next CD.
Christine Rosholt, Detour Ahead
Kari Gaffney is great at her job. I got lots of reviews I would have never
got on my own.
I highly recommend her!
Jay Soto, Long Time Coming
**This just in Jay Soto signed to label - Just a quick note to let you
know that it's finally happened. I've officially signed with a record label!!!
Yeah!!!, the label is NuGroove, Michael Lington and Down To The Bone's early
label. Look for my new release to hit stores in April!!!
My career is finally on the upswing and it is due, in a major way, to the
expertise of Kari Gaffney. She was initially recommenced to me by others in
the industry and now I understand why. She has worked tirelessly on my behalf
from day one. Kari has maintained the highest level of professionalism and
has assessed my needs as an artist and works the press with diligence and
grace. In a business where benevolence seems nonexistent, Kari is a gem, with
work ethics and character that go far beyond ones expectations. If you are
in need of a publicist, look no further than Kari-On Productions.
Jenny Davis, It Amazes Me
I have to say the money I spent with Kari was the best investment I made after
recording my latest CD. There is no way I couldn't received the 20 or so reviews
that she has secured for me! I am VERY happy. I also sought references before
I started with her and each person was equally as happy.
Ellynne Plotnick, I Walk Alone
Kari undergoes a tireless crusade to get press coverage for her artists.
Even though she is incredibly busy, she always finds time to devote to her
clients. She will always call back in a timely manner to help you. She is
extremely warm and giving -- something you don't come across on the business
side of music too often. The fact that she is an artist helping to promote
and foster artists' careers makes a difference. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend
Kari in a heartbeat. I can't wait to release a new CD. When it's done, Kari
will be the first person I'll call.
Perry Conticchio, Speak Your Truth
Kari Gaffney and the work she has performed for me through her company, Kari-On
Productions. In a word, it has been nothing less than stellar. Working with
Kari has not only been extremely productive, but enjoyable at the same time.
All one needs to do is check my website to see the reviews she has succeeded
in obtaining for me. While the product needs to be deserving of praise, I
have no doubt that none of these writers and publications would have ever
even given my CD a listen had it not been for her. I personally would not
have had a clue of how to break through that barrier.
Kari's manner has succeeded in being both extremely professional and personnel and caring at the same time. She has shown excellent follow through and I have come to know that if she says she is about to do something, it will get done. It is also just a plain old pleasure to speak with her, and her encouragement has meant a lot.
All in all, the money that
I spent on her campaign is probably the best investment I could have made
secondary to actually making the CD. I wholeheartedly and without reservation
recommend her services to any jazz artist putting out an indie CD in today's
market.
Steve Hall, The Steve Hall
Quintet
My collaboration with Kari On-Productions has been rewarding and informative.
Kari clearly explained her fees and services and set reasonable expectations
of results. At roughly the halfway point of our campaign the CD has received
good reviews. These are already being posted on my website and are being used
to get work in the very competitive Portland, OR marketplace. The reviews
are also being placed in a Press Kit that will be used to take the band to
a higher level of engagements. I strongly recommend Kari's work.
Bruce A. Henry, Connections
This is vocalist Bruce A. Henry. In 2004 my CD Connections was released. I
had the pleasure of working with Kari Gaffney and Kari-On Productions. My
recording received numerous reviews and my national profile was greatly increased.
My Internet presence has been dramatically enhanced.
Ms. Gaffney is very professional and beyond publicity very freely offers expert
advice and encouragement beyond the scope of her publicity work. I look forward
to working with her again.
Paula Lammers, A Blanket
of Blue
Kari has worked hard to get the word out about my CD. Kari has always
responded promptly to phone calls and e-mails. With her help, I have gotten
prestigious reviews from sources I would not have had access to on my own.
She has a great work ethic, and is an energetic advocate for her clients.
With her help, I have been able to build a press kit filled with the reviews
and kudos which every artist needs for their promotional efforts.
Ron Jackson, The Dream
I Had
www.ronjacksonmusic.com
Kari is great to work with because she is friendly, reliable, hard
working, and honest and does what she promises. With Karis help
my name recognition, hits to my website, and sales of my CDs
have been 100% higher. I have received many more reviews of
my CD's than I can imagine trying to obtain myself. If you want help
getting your name out there, Kari-On Productions is the
place you go to.
Dan Kozar, I Remember You
" I've been delighted with the services of Kari Gaffney and
Kari-On-Productions. I fully endorse her services. Not only does
she know her job as a publicist but she is a recording artist, an
accomplished singer and musician. Kari, knows the rules of the game .
She has real genuine empathy for the recording artist and their material.
She works hard by advocating on the artist behalf that their recording gets
the recognition it deserves. She is honest, a-go-getter, hard-working lady,
and is a joy to work with."
Eric Frazier, Find Yourself
-Then Find Me
Kari, of Kari-on Productions, literally takes her artists under her wing
and stealthily provides them with publicity service that is professional,
deliberate and efficient. She is available to her clientele at all times.
This is a formula for success. If you are a results oriented artist then you
need to contact Kari-on Productions. I have certainly benefited. You will
too!
Alexandra Caselli, Out
The Aquarium
"Kari has done wonders filling my promo material with positive feedback
from jazz reviewers. Not only do I now have noteworthy praise from
respected critics, but more confidence to go out and do it again!"
INDUSTRY
FEEDBACK:
Adam Greenberg,
All Music Guide
"Kari is extremely committed to her artists, and is an expert at
chasing down press coverage, even for (or especially for) the lesser-known
artists. Her honest excitement about each of her clients, as well as the thoroughness
of her preparations, makes her a pleasure to work with and makes my job as
a writer that much easier."
Doug Boynton, Editor for Girlsingers.org and Freelance Journalist
"I've found Kari to be everything a good publicist should be - active,
friendly, tenacious, and unblinkingly honest. It's
this kind of relationship that builds trust, and that's why she's able to
do such a good job for me - as a music reviewer, and I'll assume also for
her clients. I always look forward to Kari's submissions...I know I'm getting
something that's polished. I would absolutely recommend her work!"
Karl
Stober, Internationally Syndicated Jazz Columnist and Interviewer for Jazztrenzz,
published at Jazzreview and Ejazz News Weekly.
A pure and credible professional is rare in the music industry however, Kari
Gaffney is one of those rarities. With passion and knowledge in hand she goes
forward and creates magic and success for her clients. It is one thing to
talk the walk, but Kari walks that talk every day, in every way. Her professional
follow through, expeditious response to requests, and research of industry
news makes her one of the performer's best tools. Kari's media kits and process
is one of the industries best and most detailed out there. As a writer, I
often times run into road blocks due to numerous issues. Kari Gaffney breaks
those barriers down and sets up a direct pipeline for any information the
media may need. She understands that her clients are number one and that we
can assist in their career growth. Kari Gaffney is the ultimate professional,
with vision married with a driven feel for innovation and creativity. She
is what she is, one of the best!
Jeff Becker, Jazz Writer
and Editor for Jazz Sensibilities
Kari Gaffney is very easy to coordinate with. I can electronically preview
releases, the biography information is well written and informative. She is
very service oriented when I am working on a review or feature story and need
to set up an interview with the artist, or need additional background information.
I get answers immediately with at return phone call or e-mail. Her upbeat
and detail oriented approach is very refreshing for me as a writer. She is
a quality company, and I could easily recommend her as a promotions company
for any artist.
Carmel DeSoto, contributing writer for Jazzpolice
Whenever I coordinate with Kari Gaffney, I can always count on well-conceived
biographies to work from, which is very important for me as a writer. I can
communicate with her in musical terms because she understands the product
she is servicing. She is friendly, courteous and always give me cutting edge
support materials to work from. Frankly, she is fabulous.
Joost
van Steen, Host/Producer Jazz & Blues Tour with ASFM105.4 in The Netherlands
She opened her "Angel Eyes"
for a lot of new and young great artists especially in Jazz and the Singer
Songwriters genres. Along with her great staff she is also very important
to our "Bread" of Radio hosts/programmers because with a simple
twitch she sends us the perfect material to be given airplay in our programs
and that material is always a great pleasure to give airplay. Thanks a lot
to you Kari and of course your great colleagues and we do hope for a long
relationship in the coming years.
John Peters, Musicwatch Magazine
I must say that I am very impressed by the accompanying publicity info sheets.
Most of the ones I receive from other PR agencies are simply text only and
photocopied, yours are very nicely designed and very informative. I talk from
experience as many years ago I used to publish and edit a small press fanzine
here in the UK covering music, movies and fiction. It ran for 10 years, pre-Internet,
and for 28 issues. Lots of fun and hard work but I learned the rudiments of
page design so I can recognize good work when I see it.
Bruce,
KVMR 89.5 FM, Nevada City, CA
I hope those you work for appreciate your attentiveness
and follow through..
Craig Huegel, Our Kind of
Folk, WSLR, Seminole, FL.
I appreciate what you do for your artists.
They are lucky to have your energy and outlook.
