Six String Bliss Announces Deadline for “The British Are Coming”

Deadline for submissions: April 15th, 2011

Six String Bliss, the longest-running guitar-centric Podcast on the Internet is actively seeking contributions for their upcoming Album release, tentatively titled The British Are Coming. As with all previous Album Projects, this will be a collaborative effort by members of their listening community. The theme of this album is the “anything British”, and we welcome covers of songs by British Isles bands or even originals that pay homage to the British sound.

As with all of our previous projects, this has come about through audience participation in the Six String Bliss forum. Everything from the suggested topic to some proposed Album Covers are direct results of audience participation.

The procedure for entering is really quite simple: email your song selection (or, if you’re doing an original send the influences that make your original “British themed”) to our Bliss Army General at alicia@sixstringbliss.com. Once she has cleared your song (meaning no one else has already claimed it) she will let you know that it’s safe to proceed. Once you’ve recorded it and are ready to submit it, send your song (in mp3 format) and liner notes to sixstringbliss@gmail.com.

All guitarists are welcome to join in the fun of the Six String Bliss Forum. Projects like this will continue to thrive so long as there is an active community to make these happen. So please come by, introduce yourself, and join in the next project!
