New Jersey Stage Puts The Spotlight Back On Local Artists

The latest issue of New Jersey Stage magazine features a cover story on Eryn Shewell.



    BELMAR, NJ, September 04, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Eryn Shewell is the cover story for the 8th issue of New Jersey Stage magazine in 2015. The beautiful singer is building a brand for herself by combining her love of '50s pin-up fashion, fine food and wine, and a signature sound that blends blues and soul music. By spotlighting an up-and-coming artist from New Jersey, the magazine continues to show that it believes in a good story more than a big name.

"There was a time when many publications would shine the spotlight on local artists by making them the cover story," recalled Gary Wien, publisher of New Jersey Stage. "These days, far too many publications are worried about driving clicks to their articles to do that. They focus solely on the biggest stars, believing that they will bring the most clicks. We focus on the story."

The digital magazine format is perfect for showcasing stories like this with beautiful color photos and videos that introduce the reader to what the artist actually sounds like.

"I can't even imagine writing about music without the use of audio or video alongside an article," said Wien, a three-time winner of Top Music Journalist from the Asbury Music Awards. "In 2015, shouldn't all music magazines let you hear the music?"
