HEMPFIELD TOWNSHIP

Musicians can get on fast track to fame

Fast Track to Fame.tv, an Internet music television site, will tape local singers and bands at 8 p.m. Saturday at Hilltop Restaurant & Lounge, 25 Conneaut Lake Road, Hempfield Township.

The network features a variety of music styles, and focuses on independent-labeled artists and karaoke singers.

"There is a wealth of talent throughout the United States and the world that does not get access to adequate exposure and promotion, and Fast Track to Fame.tv is a great vehicle for new talent," said Bobby Locke, creator and one of the hosts of Fast Track to Fame.tv.

The Network attracts 100,000 viewers a month and was featured by CNN and CNN.COM. The clip can be seen at www.FastTracktoFame.tv

Fast Track to Fame.tv offers singers and bands rotation of their videos, and fans can request their favorites, with the most popular videos getting more play. The roster contains more than 6,000 singers' and bands' video performances.

The Web site has a video-on-demand option where showcase participants can have their video placed for viewing anytime by their fans and those in the music and entertainment industry. The network also features an online CD store featuring independent artists.

"The quality of the picture and sound over the Internet are improving daily, especially with the advent of cable modems," said Locke.
