Bandsintown Selects Ear Trumpet Labs Microphones For LIVE Channel Partnership
Top Quality Livestreams Featuring Artists Such as Mary Gauthier, The War and Treaty, The Secret Sisters, and More
PORTLAND, OR (September 1, 2020)…Boutique microphone company, Ear Trumpet Labs, announces a partnership with Bandsintown for their new livestreaming channel, Bandsintown LIVE. With over 30 million views since its launch in March, the channel features daily live performances from both emerging and established artists around the world. Bandsintown selected Ear Trumpet Labs Myrtle and Edwina models for top-tier artists to use during their weekly Americana/Country Outskirts broadcast. Ear Trumpet Labs microphones have become a go-to favorite among artists for livestreaming and home recording, notably for their superior sound quality, ease of setup, and unique retro stylings.
Laura Schneider, Live Programming Coordinator, first discovered the microphones through Doug and Telisha Williams of Wild Ponies, “I went to a taping of their podcast, The Long Ride, and when I heard it back once the live episode aired, I was blown away by the quality. When I started working for Bandsintown at the beginning of the pandemic, we were trying to compile studio kits for artists and my first stop was Ear Trumpet Labs."
Artists selected for the partnership include The Secret Sisters, Jaimee Harris, Rainbow Girls, The War and Treaty, Mary Gauthier, and more. In addition to performing with the Myrtle model on Bandsintown LIVE, Mary Gauthier began using the mic on her weekly Sundays with Mary livestream from her Facebook and YouTube channel. Gauthier has since signed on as an Ear Trumpet Labs promo artist and is excited to continue to utilize the mic in a variety of settings.
“The Myrtle has made the sound of our livestreams exponentially better. Clear, clean highs, deeply resonant lows. With the headphones on, it sounds like we are playing on a theatre stage with a great house engineer,” Gauthier notes. “The mic looks as beautiful as it sounds, and it is very easy to set up. We will definitely be bringing this mic on the road with us when touring returns.”
“Any time that temporary loan turns into a permanent home, I’m thrilled for all involved,” Schneider affirms. “It’s been a symbiotic partnership in an uncertain time for all of us in the music industry, and I appreciate the chance to work together to keep the music on for all.”
Bandsintown offers a home base for top quality performances and talent in a time when audiences are hungry for live music, but overwhelmed by the opportunity of choice. Outskirts can be found on Bandsintown LIVE every Monday from 1:00pm - 5:00pm Central.
