Dallas, TX - Sara Hamilton knows that all things are relative, especially in the music business. A single spin on the nation's largest country radio station can outweigh hundreds of spins along the back roads of Texas.
Four months into the release of her debut album, Call My Name, Americana singer-songwriter Hamilton is pleased to have achieved success in both large and small markets. The album is receiving radio airplay from Los Angeles to Providence, and Duluth to Corpus Christi.
Hamilton will appear live on Dallas radio station 99.5 The Wolf Front Porch Show from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday, October 9.
Americana radio promoter Al Moss said the record has received over 1,350 spins across the country since its June 7 release. Several hundred spins of Hamilton's single "Lord Help My Soul" were reported in Texas radio markets.
"That's a solid effort for an artist's debut," Moss said. "Debut albums are important for creating name recognition and building a chart foundation for the follow-up effort."
Moss, who has taken Americana artists like Delbert McClinton, Steve Earle and Joe Ely to the top of the Americana Music Association radio airplay chart, serviced over 270 radio station that prominently feature the Americana format in their programming. Americana is a hybrid of folk, rock, country and blues, written and sung with sincerity, wisdom and humor.
The success of Call My Name has also bolstered Hamilton's live performance, landing her opening spots for Americana chart toppers Jesse Dayton, Hayes Carll and Chip Taylor & Carrie Rodriguez.
Hamilton, a University of Texas graduate, has several Dallas performances planned during Texas-OU Weekend. She is available for Dallas/Fort Worth morning television appearances October 5-19. Media coverage of this Sunday's 99.5 The Wolf Front Porch Show appearance is available by pre-arrangement.
