Hi! [Login/Register]
About me WindRyder distinguishes itself with a refreshing sense of pride in its music - combined with a relentless pursuit of excellence and a balance of "rockin' country" and melody that is seldom heard north of Nashville. Every moment of each song has been honed to perfection, nothing compromises the band's commitment to elevate the quality of their music.
After the scheduled release of their self-entitled first CD in the early part of 2008, the group quickly endeavored to secure a live act to partner with its studio project. Subsequently performing in a flurry of shows throughout the spring and summer of the previous year, WindRyder has taken every stage they performed on by storm. WindRyder is still as exciting as ever with their artful style that is a mix of today's country music. How do you categorize WindRyders style of music? Well if you ask Windryder they will tell you that they are unique. Different......but all in all, they are country through and through.
Look for Windryder coming through a city and state near you in 2008.
Windryder if formed by the close knit team of: Bassist - Ray Shirk, Keyboardist - Phyllis Sands and Drummer - Tony Odorizzi
The WindRyder Project has involved many musicians to numerous to mention that helped with the initial WindRyder Demo which is getting a lot of attention.

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!
