Success Fact: The Bros. Landreth

The Bros. Landreth gained Starmaker eligibility just as their debut album Let It Lie began to buzz in Canada and abroad. The band had just won a JUNO Award for Roots & Traditional Album and inked record deals to release the album to international markets. RSF funding was instrumental in helping the band afford the opportunity to reach the right markets at key times. The band has been able to develop fledgling fan bases, establish tour routes and take advantage of numerous festival touring opportunities throughout Canada, the US, UK, Belgium, Scandinavia and Australia along the way. All the band's activities in these developing markets have benefited from invaluable contributions from the Fund.

Starmaker continues to assist The Bros. Landreth’s activities, providing critical financial assistance that enables them to invest in market development. With a new album on the way, the band is well positioned to achieve global activity out of the gate upon release. Many thanks to the Radio Starmaker Fund for helping along the journey!
