CLASSIC SOUTHERN BLUES SONGS with Male Vocals are needed for several (up to) $5,000, Direct-to-Music-Supervisor placements in a range of TV Shows on Major Networks.
This Music Supervisor is on the hunt for Songs in All Tempos in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references we got directly from them:
"Fixin' to Die Blues" by Bukka White
"Stealin' Stealin'" by Memphis Jug Band
"One Thing For Sure" by Brownie McGhee
You can submit recently recorded Songs in the general production style of the references; or, if you’ve got any vintage recordings (recorded back in the day), the Music Supervisor would love to hear those as well!
Please send well-crafted Blues Songs with soulful melodies, memorable choruses, and great rhythms. Authentic-sounding Southern Blues instrumentation is key to nailing this request, so if you're planning on using any virtual instruments, they need to sound like the real thing and can't be stiff or obviously MIDI-driven. Expressive, well-performed vocals paired with well-crafted lyrics could help you seal the deal!
Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, brands, places, and profanity will make your Songs easier to place. Do NOT copy the referenced examples in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.
The estimated license fee for each placement is up to $5,000, depending on the ultimate use. These are Direct-to-Music Supervisor placements, so you’ll keep 100% ownership of your Master and Composition rights, plus you’ll also get 100% of the sync fee and any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to pitch for this opportunity. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by a TAXI screener that was hand-picked by the Music Supervisor. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Monday, July 5th, 2021.
