Crowe Entertainment offers out of town, and in town,  songwriters a service we know you will be excited about as we, in turn, are excited to serve your song writing needs.  This is Song Plugging.  The term “Song Plugging” in definition is: “One who is an active promoter well connected within the entertainment industry who is allowed to play works by independent songwriters to industry representatives with the exclusive goal of the song (known as works) being recorded by signed artists for sales, airplay and or movie and TV release.”  With this being said, Crowe Entertainment is the Song Plugging service you want and need.

This service of Song Plugging was incorporated into Crowe Entertainment in 1992.  The company was young and already screaming to the top of the music industries ladder of success as an artist management and music publishing company.  On the management roster, for example, was Sony/Epic recording artists “Darrel and Don Ellis” with their chart buster “No Sir.”  On the publishing side of the company countless major and independent label cuts. 

As song writers were knocking on doors on music row and told they could not submit unsolicited material, Crowe Entertainment opened their doors to all and took the time to listen.  They were told stories of writers spending everything they had to come to Nashville to have their songs heard, however no one would listen to them leaving them with no money left and broken dreams.  After returning to their home they sent letters to Crowe Entertainment stating how “at home” they felt as they were welcomed in the doors and true "Nashville" music industry professionals listened to every word they wrote and had to say.  As Crowe Entertainment began the song plugging service their catalog grew by adding songs from writers located all over the world along with the success of hundreds of those songs.

Here’s how it works;
