TEM110: Jazz-Pop Duo 23rd Hour on treating your band like a startup, pulling off a successful album launch and how to rock an email campaign

23rd Hour is a jazz-pop duo comprised of Sherry-Lynn Lee and George Paolini.

What You'll Learn:

  • How this unlikely pair met and ended up working together (Sherry-Lynn had the courage to ask)

  • Why they ended up targeting the wine industry by using the #WineWednesday hashtag (and the many benefits that have come from it)

  • How they treat their band as a startup

  • How they pulled off a successful album release party at a venue and in a city they had never played in before

  • The benefits of partnering with a local charity

  • How to send a very successful email campaign with much higher than average open rates and click rates

  • The importance of knowing your strengths, delegating and using deadlines when you are in a partnership

  • How they managed to climb all the way to #10 on the iTunes Jazz Chart through a combination of a little good luck and a lot of calculated, specific actions

  • How a physical guest book can be a great tool to getting people to sign up for your mailing list
