Why use PR anyway?
- It provides a credible, objective message that is highly valued by the audience
- It informs fans and allows them to learn more about a band, getting them more involved
- It increases a band’s exposure and recognition, thereby increasing the likelihood of sales and concert attendance
- It generates press coverage that can be used as leverage for live performance and tour opportunities, among other things
- It promotes and protects a band’s reputation and image
- It’s more cost-effective than advertising

Chicago roots-rock group YellowHammers will be bringing their live show to Minneapolis on Saturday, July 24th. Playing at Memory Lanes, the band is excited to make the Twin Cities their second home. “We plan on touring through the area every couple of months,” said guitar player and vocalist Terry White. As a precursor to the show, YellowHammers will be performing on KARE 11’s Showcase Minnesota on July 23rd.

With a new self-titled record that was produced by music legend Jon Langford (The Mekons, Waco Brothers), YellowHammers have been referred to as “Americana at its finest.” The seasoned musicians have honed their sound with over a decade of songwriting, and show no signs of slowing down. “Every time we put out a new album, it gives us more momentum,” said White.
