Leave a Comment Posted by on June 17, 2013

SS13_Invite_v4C SS13_SeatDrop_BACK_v6A SS13_SeatDrop_FRONT_v10So once again Promax is upon us and SAM will be there to booze and schmooze with the best in the TV broadcast industry!  We’ve got some new products to roll out – including the industry’s first fully searchable, keyword tagged online delivery for our syndicated packages - and if you’re attending the Station Summit in Las Vegas, then you won’t want to miss our legendary after hours Hendrix Jam Session (now in its 3rd year!)

Stephen will be presenting as part of a panel called “Hits and Misses 2013″ in Promax LA.  on Thursday, June 20th (check your conference guide for time and locations). He and other top producers, composers and music supervisors will look at case studies of where music did and did not work in particular projects.  Stephen’s been asked to present as an expert on custom music and sonic branding, which we’re very excited about!  Check him out on this list of Promax speakers here »

And don’t forget to stop by our ‘booth’ on the floor whether you’re at Promax LA or Station Summit where you’ll find 4 guitars on display in museum style displays for 360 views.  3 are from Stephen’s personal collection and featured in the book A Story of Six Strings.  The 4th display will be one of 2 guitars we’re giving away – either a 1930s National TriCone resonator replica (produced by Johnson) or a Neil Young SIGNED Fender Tele.  So stop by, have a chat, drop your card in the box and maybe walk away with an awesome guitar.

Good Luck and hope to see you there, whether LA or Vegas!

SAM_PGMWe have a new partnership that we want to tell you about: Stephen Arnold Music and PGM Artists http://pgmartists.com/ are now collaborating on select original music and sonic branding projects for the advertising sector.

PGM Artists is a high-level “matchmaker” that draws companies together from across a broad range of complementary disciplines. The firm was founded by marketing and production veteran Phil McIntyre, and they excel at connecting advertising agencies and corporations worldwide to creative and marketing resources, with the goal of enabling them to innovate, communicate and compete at the highest possible level.

There were a lot of great reasons to start working with PGM Artists. We think it’s a creative, forward-thinking company that really understands branding. And our commitment to creating memorable sonic branding is a perfect fit for the advertising world, which is where PGM Artists have proven they’re particularly effective.

It’s a highly accomplished firm with an elite track record – that’s the kind of company we like to keep.

NAB 2013…done!

On the gambling floor at the Cosmopolitan

On the gambling floor at the Cosmopolitan with PMOL Directors Adam Routh and Patrick Wilson

Paul Gulmans – Music Director, The Netherlands

Noelle Alanis with FOX KVVU On-Air Promotion’s Sergio Rodriguez and Tai Howard

The Palms

Little Elvis at The Palms

We came, we saw, we ruled the Roulette table. NAB 2013 was quite an experience…. from DTS’s 11.1 Surround Sound Headphones to the American Idol judges that seemed to be at every session.  But alas we were not there to purchase the latest technologies or try our hand in a singing competition but rather for a chance to meet clients, colleagues and eat pricey dinners on the company credit card!

Special thanks to all our sub-publishers for sitting down with us – particularly Fred and the lovely Lynn Woods at Red Igloo, Jean at Music for Productions and Paul Gulmans at Music Director who still does NOT eat fish despite us taking him to a seafood restaurant…

Also, station owners Carole and Peter Kozloski from WAGM for a fantastic breakfast,  Adam Routh and Patrick Wilson of PMOL for their lovely bottle of scotch that still hasn’t made it onto the boss’s desk, and of course the On-Air Promotion boys at Las Vegas’s KVVU-TV for showing us around town Tuesday night and introducing us to Corona martinis (very fancy)!

Finally what a great creole meal at Emeril’s with Fox Business’s Ray Lambiase and CNN design guru Jonathan Kemp.

And, of course we met Elvis – he’s much shorter in person!

Until next year, hope to see you there!!!

NAB – The Greatest Show On Earth!

Leave a Comment Posted by on April 4, 2013

Wait… is that NAB or the circus?!?

NAB 2013

Either way the greatest show in broadcasting is upon us. It’s going down next week in Vegas, and I can’t wait!

Although Stephen Arnold Music has been many times, this will be my first trip to THE SHOW, and I’ll be taking it in with another NAB-newbie Whitney Arnold.

Rumor has it NAB is a ginormous conference of all things broadcasting. I’ve heard it’s a techie paradise with plenty of educational sessions, industry heavy-weights, and social networking opportunities (AKA parties)!  Can’t wait to experience for myself! Please let me know if you have any NAB advice! And hope to see you there!

Don’t Stop The Music

5 Comments Posted by on February 19, 2013


Little Kids Rock“Music education is being stripped from our nation’s public schools at an alarming rate due to budget cuts,” Keith Hejna, Communications & Outreach Coordinator for Little Kids Rock says. “It’s up to the adults to stand up for our children’s right to rock… and ensure that they receive music education, which is vital to their development as students and human beings.”

That’s why we’re so excited to support Little Kids Rock. Here at Stephen Arnold Music we know a thing or two about writing a good tune; and we know what a blast it is when we’re hitting all the right notes.  But we also know what it takes to get there:  a lot of hard work – from bleeding fingers to ringing ears – a little luck, and that first person to say, “Here you go!” and put an instrument in your hand.  The first part, that’s all on you.   But Little Kids Rock is on a mission to make sure every kid gets the chance to rock by getting instruments and music lessons into the hands of underprivileged school kids.

“Little Kids Rock is an all-volunteer organization that’s very efficiently run,” says SAM president Stephen Arnold, “It’s amazing how far they can make a dollar go.”

And because each dollar counts, we’re donating $1 for each new “Like” to the Stephen Arnold Music Facebook page.  Help us raise $5,000 for this awesome charity. You can’t buy a guitar for every kid out there, but with just the click of a mouse you can make a difference in the lives of some extraordinary kids.
