Bandbox Launches the First Free Digital + Physical Music Store that Connects Artists Directly to Fans.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Bandbox (http://www.bandbox.com), the only direct-to-fan platform solely committed to serving the needs of its artists, has launched its free digital + physical music store that connects artists directly to fans while giving them immediate access to purchase new music directly from their favorite artists. Although the company has been extremely successful in private beta mode, representing some of the industry's top-selling artists, including Jewel, Taylor Swift, Keith Urban and more, its public debut fills a void that, until now, has not been met by any other music service in the industry.

"We realize that fans today want immediate and direct access to their favorite artists," says Brian Peterson, Bandbox Co-Founder and CEO. "Our service enables artists to move beyond the traditional music distribution channels and gives them the tools they need to be able to market to and connect directly with their fans." Jewel, one of the industry's best-selling female artists has used Bandbox for her last two album releases and she expresses her enthusiasm for this new direct-to-fan platform stating, "Bandbox has allowed me to be able to connect directly with the people who matter most, my fans."

As music industry trends have evolved over the years, Bandbox has been listening. The company's "website within a website" approach allows artists to market themselves through online networks and websites where millions of consumers already reside. It also gives artists the freedom and flexibility to set price points, to release content whenever and wherever they choose to and to sell both digitally and physical music. Additionally, as consumers today continue to watch their spending, they can be assured that every dollar they spend on digital purchases through Bandbox will go directly back to their favorite artists. "We are the first free platform that offers artists the ability to sell digital and physical music while passing through 100% of digital profits back to the artist," said Peterson. Bandbox requires no start-up or monthly fee and generates its revenue through premium services, physical product sales and integrated brand sponsorships.

Bandbox's mission is to serve artists well by providing them a cost-free and risk-free solution for selling music directly to their fans. Bandbox returns 100% of its digital profits back to the artist for free, allowing them to set their own price point and sales strategies. Bandbox remains at the forefront of industry trends and will continue to evolve with the changing technology and consumer demands. The company already represents over a dozen of the top-selling artists on the market today. For more information, visit www.bandbox.com.
