Hi! [Login/Register]
About me Earl Wear auditioned for and won a spot on The Charlie Daniels’ Talent Roundup in Nashville, TN in 1995. Performing professionally since his late teens, it was another validation of his outstanding talent. Also in ‘95, he won the Western Regional competition for the True Value/Jimmy Dean Country Showdown. The successful Idaho country band Coltrain saw him and asked him to join them as their lead singer. He accepted, and they’ve been fillin’ the dance floor ever since! In 1996, Coltrain won the Northwest Regional competition for the Colgate Country Showdown. At the finals in Orlando, Florida they placed sixth in the nation, beating out 10,000 other acts. In early 2001, Coltrain debuted their CD “Walking to Wyoming” which features original material written by Bob Regan, former president of NSAI (Nashville Songwriters Association International). It has received glowing reviews from critics and fans alike, and has been played across the country and as far away as the U.K. It was re-released this year across the West and is in regular rotation on many radio stations, especially those in Wyoming. The CD is available for purchase through www.earlwear.com. There is also a full review page on that site. In 2001, the band performed at COUNTRY THUNDER USA just outside of Phoenix, AZ. They shared the stage with country stars Sammy Kershaw, Wynonna and Rascal Flatts, to name just a few. That same year they were voted “Best Band in the Pacific Northwest.” Earl & Coltrain have worked with over 40 of the best and brightest in the business, including: - Joe Diffie - Lacy J Dalton - Collin Raye - Tanya Tucker - Martina McBride - Daryle Singletary - Diamond Rio - Oakridge Boys - Confederate Railroad - Phil Vassar - Gary Allan - Neil McCoy. And, most recently, Blake Shelton, Crystal Gayle and a special 2 night acoustic performance with Phil Vassar. These gentlemen are talented, professional and they put on one heck of a show!

This is a typical station page.
Here station fans can tune in, discuss, tag the station, and join a station's group. Groups provides a closer connection with listeners and allows you to build a community around your station.
Tags are a way for listeners to bookmark your station and also provide a way to classify your station for searching. For instance, the more people that tag a station 'Alternative', the higher that station will appear when someone searches for or clicks an 'Alternative' tag.
new!When you purchase a broadcast package you are given a number of Listener Units.
You divvy your Listener Units up among the four bit rate options: 32kbs, 64kbs, 96kbs, or 128kbs*. We came up with the idea of Listener Units so that you can re-allocate your bandwidth at any time.
For instance, let's say you start broadcasting thinking all your listeners will have a broadband connection. Eventually you start hearing from people that can't tune in because they're
(unfortunately!) still on a dial up connection. All you have to do is re-allocate some Listener Units to the lower quality 32kbs stream!
*bit rates correspond to stream quality - a higher number means a higher quality stream
Basic stats are provided for your station. You can see what's happening 'now' and the last thirty days.
Weekly spin charts are generated for your station. They contain the top 100 most heard songs you played during the week. Charts are often linked to by artists which drives traffic back to your station.
There are many ways for your station to be found on LoudCity
All active stations are randomly rotated and appear on the homepage as a featured station.
The most used tags appear on the homepage. Click next and you'll see what happens when someone clicks the 'Alternative' tag.
This is the search results for all stations tagged 'Alternative'. As mentioned earlier, the stations most tagged 'Atlernative' are listed first.
When someone clicks on an artist name anywhere on the site they're taken to an artist page where they can see the stations that play that artist. Again the stations that play that artist most are listed first.
Yet another way for listeners to find stations they're going to like.
In addition to all the features you've just seen we also offer a Custom Launch Page option. This allows you to upload your own html page(s) to LoudCity.
Since our webcasting licenses require our broadcasters to 'launch' their streams from the loudcity.com domain, the Custom Launch Page option is a great way to keep the
look and feel of your existing site when you send listeners over to tune in.
Whether you're a seasoned online broadcaster or just want to try it as a hobby, LoudCity provides a great set of tools and features for you to be successful. Give it a try!
