Building a Street Team
Wow, We are super humbled at the fantastic response our music has received so far! Thanks!
We are in the process of establishing a street team all across the globe, so if you are reading this and are thinking - cool! What's that? It just means you're someone that likes our music, would probably come out to watch us do a live show, you might even buy a CD but for sure would want to share us (Cherry Creek) with your friends, family and whoever else you run into. So if that's you - read on.
Just let us know, send us a note here, or head over to www.reverbnation.com/cherrycreekband and send us a msg there, or just join the mailing list and click the little checkbox next to "Street Team"
Thanks and we look forward to meeting you sometime!

Hi Cherry Creek. Nice to hear you got a good response.
At IAC you don't need street teams so much. If you come blog here and tell us about yourself, your life, your dreams, many of the most active station managers are on the pipeline and they will listen and usually some will add you to their stations.
I could be wrong but I've always felt street teams were just ways for music sites to push for more clicks.
You should spend more time at IAC and not that prefab cookie cutter site reverb nation. :D Anyway we're glad to have you stop by here.

good points Toby, but CONGRATS on the Street Team, Cherry Creek -- I've seen it be quite effective for a number of bands out there on adding extra promo power. So kudos for that. Uh..... just curious.... don't you have 2 pay them something, or do they just do it out of love for your music?

Well, first I do spend some time here. Which is why I was thanking everyone for the response... I don't probably interact as much as I could though!
As for street teams, if you're going to expect them to go out and market your band for you, yeah you'll need to pay them something, free stuff at least I would think. But to me it's just a fan of your music that takes that extra step and tells someone else about you. It's nice to know who they are, if you can find out. Because if I know I've got 20 of those types of fans in one city, vs 30 of the kind that like your music but don't get excited enough to tell anyone in another city. I'm going to want try to book shows in the first city.
Reverbnation might be cookie cutter, but it has some nice features to keep me connected to our fans whether those fans use reverb ever or not, and it's where fans of top 40 already made it artists go. I think it's a good place to get people who will never ever come to this site introduced to our music.
