We are now finalizing plans for our 2008 events in Washington County, Belmont County, and Noble County. The first event will be the 2nd Bi-Annual SpringFest in Marietta, Ohio. We plan to advance into even more counties in 2009. For more information, visit the EVENTS SECTION of the website.
The 2nd Bi-Annual
more features coming soon!
In the works:
* A network of independent Christian singers, songwriters, bands, artists, and other musical ministers in Ohio and its surrounding states.
* The official OVCMA newsletter / magazine, with features of interest to Christian music-lovers.
* Feature articles spotlighting OVCMA members and their ministries.
* Music reviews of independent Christian CDs and cassettes.
* A Ministry Partner section featuring venues and other items of interest to our demographic.
* A series of compilation CDs to be distributed to Christian Radio.
* A possible Internet Radio Station. Contact us if you're interested in helping with this project.
The sponsors on the blue LINK BAR are not directly-affiliated with THE OVCMA, but rather with their service-provider.
New Features!
Many of the Member pages on the OVCMA website now have AUDIO CLIPS of the artist's music. Now you can listen to sound clips and hear exactly how the artist sounds before you decide to buy their CD or book them for an event.
We are also expanding the MEMBERS section into four subsections, to include artists and songwriters as well as local churches, venues, and ministries.
Compilation CD
We are now accepting applications from OVCMA members to put a song on our new Compilation CD, to be released to Christian radio. It will be released in 2008 and will feature 12 songs from independent Christian rock and contemporary artists in the Ohio Valley. Future volumes will feature other genres of Christian music. To submit your original song(s) for inclusion in this project, contact us via e-mail and ask for details about "Rock in the Valley, vol. 1".
