Hi,

I am a Canadian bluegrass singer/songwriter who released a debut album last May, titled Ties that Bind. I owe a tremendous amount of gratitude to Internet radio DJ’s who welcomed my songs with open arms and have given my album a lot of exposure. As a result of this I have been blessed with interest in my music from many parts of the world… something that I never dreamed of when I decided to record my songs.

I made a CD for the love of the music and to share that with other people. A little royalty cheque here and there, to me, is an added bonus. I certainly believe that credit has to be given to the creators of music and that includes paying royalty fees, but I would hate to see Internet stations close down because of it. The stations that play my music bring bluegrass to fans that would not hear the music anyplace else if they had to rely on their local commercial stations to play it.

Sincerely,

Heather Ferris
