New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Figleaf Records) – After many years of knocking down doors, hitting the road playing the circuit and several high profile music recording projects hoping for a major label record deal, opportunity has finally arrived for singer, songwriter, guitarist Dan Rio.
With the music industry having undergone many changes since the arrival of digital distribution the time seemed just right for the release of Dan Rio’s new album “Listen To The Rain”.
…What this means for the unsigned artist is that he can now possibly compete with many artist on Billboards top 40 charts. Dan, having worked with national recording artist on various recording projects such as Clarence Clemons, Billy Squire, Duke Williams and The Extremes and the James Montgomery Band, is just glad that he will not have to depend on a major label to promote his new record.
The album is scheduled for digital release September 16, 2009 and was produced by Buddy Turner and James Avery for Starpower Entertainment and recorded at the legendary Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia, Pa. on Dan’s current label, Figleaf Records. The record …can be heard at www.uplaya.com ….
Says Dan “I have all the confidence in the world that my current label, Figleaf Records will do everything they can to get my music to the public.”
Dan also says “Bob even went as far as hunting down Frank Dileo, I mean Michael Jackson’s manager, just so he could ask him if he would listen to my music and see if he would give his opinion. Bob … was working his day job in Newtown Bucks County, Pa. as a car salesman. Bob finds out that Frank Dileo lives not far from the dealership and frequents a local pizzeria and proceeds to go there every night until Frank shows up.
After finally meeting and making friends, Frank promises to listen to my music. About a month later, with Bob on the Frank Dileo watch, Bob and Frank meet again. Frank must have liked what he heard at least enough to give Bob a contact at Capital Records …”

Thats great you got your shot, thats all it takes when you have great music, thats all that matters. i listen to your music its great, ou paint a real picture in your music, like am the fly on the wall just watching it all, thats who i write my music, all my songs are about lifes ups and downs in relationships and friendships,and ofcorse the haters, the insecure people that dont have any balls to step out and follow their dreams, am glad were not one of those people, but come check out my hits.
I couldn’t agree more…in my world, here in Nashville, the smae things happen all the time. But it does suggest that one “must be present to win”…Or, at least, one must be engaged in the game. Please contact me at chriskeaton.com with more success stories like this!
