Eric de Fontenay, Associate Editor of MusicDish, asked Lippincotts manager, Gabrielle Hewson, if they could feature him in their next promotion. I thought that Scott would be a perfect candidate," de Fontenay said. MusicDish has supported Lippincotts music career quest since running his first press release last summer, and has included landmark interviews and wins for the artist in their newsletter, i2N, including Associate Writer/Reviewer, Holly Days review of his demo CD: ...Lippincott writes simple, sweet, happy/bittersweet pop songs, with just enough instrumentation to back his voice to make the songs...work well, whether it be a bare acoustic guitar or a full rock band ensemble. This 5-song EP is a good peek at what could turn out to be a very promising body of work for this talented artist." The Spotlight, launched earlier to member affiliates to enable them to feature the story first on their respective websites, has already been published by: songrepair.com, BandsBackStage.com, onlinebands.com, princeigor.com, indie-connections.com and imassradio.com.

Lippincotts music blends songwriting and musicianship with the instrumental nuances and musical genius of many stylistic rock and pop pioneers including Elton John, The Beatles, Jellyfish, Ben Folds and Elliott Smith. Brilliantly adept on piano and keys, acoustic and electric guitar and bass -- and with over 150 songs and counting -- this young mans influences are diverse and many, and subtly sprinkled throughout his music. Whether recorded or live, this music grabs hold of you -- a charismatic performer, he resonates compassion and shared experience with every one of his original compositions -- the connection to his audience is undeniable.

Artist Express was created as part of MusicDishs Content Express program to support the needs of its members as a broad and diverse source for high-quality content. We started demoing this new artist promotion with our first artist feature of Paulina Rubio, followed by funk/jazz group, A Little Space, which seem to have gone very well for the artists/bands, labels, PR reps and Content Express members," said de Fontenay. Select artists are featured through the e-journals content syndication network of music-related sites, allowing them to get relatively extensive exposure at a fraction of the time and/or price it would take them otherwise. Weve been fans of MusicDish and read their newsletters faithfully -- an incredible source of information. I refer people to the site almost daily," said Hewson. Our combined efforts will help our goal to increase exposure to Scotts music and further grow his fan base. Its all good." Some MusicDish content partners include nescafelive, Indie-Music.com, Indie-Connections.com, IMMEDIA!, and OnlineRock, among others.

Lippincotts feature will run on the MusicDish home page through the first two weeks of September and be available to subscribers to Content Express for several months thereafter.
