AMI Entertainment Network and Red Distribution Announce Black Crowes Contest
Signed Guitar Among the Prizes in this AMI Jukebox Promotion
BRISTOL, PA, September 16, 2009 – AMI Entertainment Network is pleased to announce a music promotion featuring Before the Frost…Until the Freeze, the new release from the legendary rockers The Black Crowes. Running from September 14th through October 5th, the promotion includes a short video clip featuring Touch to Win displayed throughout. Additionally, patrons can access a sign-up screen through which they can submit contact information to win signed CDs, signed vinyl, and what is easily the coolest prize ever offered through an AMI promo – a signed guitar!
This latest Black Crowes release hit stores as well as the AMI Network August 31st, and features the new classics "Good Morning Captain" and "Been A Long Time". Before the Frost... and its corresponding free album …Until The Freeze, were recorded over a series of five nights at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, NY. Although both are studio albums, the new material was performed and recorded in front of an intimate audience of the band’s fans, making them a part of The Black Crowes musical history.
The Black Crowes have established themselves as a tried-and-true, jukebox-friendly band. Their Greatest Hits album, A Tribute To A Work In Progress, has been a staple for the AMI Network for years – featured on all ‘AMI Favorites’ hard drives. The band is also routinely one of the most-played bands in the rock genre on the AMI Network.
On the music side, AMI announced a completely new user interface upgrade for all AMI-powered jukeboxes. This intuitive interface with improved search capabilities and a striking design is poised to increase play, and AMI is making it available to operators at no cost.
The Black Crowes have bridged the gap for many a Classic Rock fan, capturing the spirit of the legendary groups, while creating a Black Crowes community all its own. Besides selling 20 million+ albums the world over, they are approaching the 20th anniversary of Shake Your Money Maker one of the band’s most influential records.
AMI music promotions similar to this one have retained 9,000+ submissions and have been proven to increase the music play on the album being promoted, even in weeks after the sweepstakes has ended. These sweepstakes increase album awareness, drive patrons to the juke, and increase coin drop for all AMI jukeboxes.
