We are creating a new project and would like to invite you to apply to be part of the project. We've been creating instruments out of antique motor oil cans and the business has been blowing up.
 
We've been having many media outlets reach out to us for press coverage such as Fox 9 News, CNET, Washington County Bulletin, and other places reached out to partner with them including the Lowertown Guitar Festival, NAMM, some music stores, and a winery in Napa Valley.
The actual assembly and selling of the oil can guitars is very labor intensive and not very profitable, however, it’s an amazing tool to help promote music, create viral videos, and help collaborate with other artists.
 
The project: “Oil Can Sessions” Similar to the TV Show, “Live from Daryl’s House.”

• Recording at The Villa Recording Studio in Savage, MN
• You choose one song to record
• Each artist can perform as a solo, duo, or three-piece playing one song, either a cover or original, using some of the oil can instruments (bass, guitar, uke, banjo, didley bow, lap steel guitar, etc)
• You can use your own musicians to play these instruments.

What’s in it for you?

• No cost to you, tons of free press, advertising, promo, viral videos, free studio recording, free video. We pay for all the studio time, mixing, mastering, video production, etc.
• We pay for the video production team to film the recording session. We promote this on the website, and all my social media outlets.
• You get a free copy of the audio track and the video of your performance
• You can perform a cover or original. All of the material will have links to your website and portfolio to help promote your music.
• It will be cross promoted with all the other artists on the project.

If you're interested in being part of the project, please submit your EPK, website,  social media page and why you would be a good fit for this project.
