What Is Resumé Radio ?
Listen for any length of time and you'll learn very quickly what Resumé Radio is: an alternative radio station experience that gathers grassroots music by self-distributed and small label musicians. Tomorrow's Artists Today, I'll say again and again. What that means -- exactly -- is that Resumé holds no BMI or ASCAP licenses. All the music you hear when listening to Resumé are tunes by artists and labels that have expressly given their permission for us to play their tunes. Music on Resumé is by the people that love the music lifestyle and its that culture that Resumé Radio seeks to promote. We love the people, the tours, the sweat, the blood, and the image of rocking fucking rolling.
Tune in to Resumé and you'll be hearing music not from some third party far away, but from independent artists that you can reach out to and touch yourself (but be careful, some rockers bite). If you're lucky (and you're following our Facebook page) you can even catch them on tour at your favorite bar in your favorite town. You won't have to wade through thousands of people to get to the front of the stage, and you won't need to sneak by security to get a shot at meeting the band. Nope, they'll be right there, arms length, playing the most badass tunes you've probably ever fucking heard.

But it's so much more than just that:
after all, you already know what Resumé Radio is...
you've heard it yourself.

What about Keith Baudry ?
I guess this is where I should introduce myself... My name is Keith Baudry and I'm the manager of Resumé Radio. My whole life I've had the dream of playing music for millions of people. Who knew that dream would lead me here, to radio? I've got a Public Relations degree and only 3 years of off and on experience (internships, volunteer work, shadowing) in actual radio broadcasting. At 16, I started my first band in high school. At 18, I picked up the guitar. The first song I ever learned to play on guitar was "Man of the Hour" by Pearl Jam. My first high school band was an all-original 2-piece acoustic act that sounded more than a little like Bright Eyes. I moved on to play in other full (3-piece and 4-piece) bands, we covered songs by Cage the Elephant, Pixies, Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, White Stripes, things we loved. In other bands, I went on to cover Beatles, Black Keys, Radiohead, more Pixies. On my own I was learning Nirvana, Modest Mouse, and Johnny Cash. But, I always kept writing my own original tunes. I'm 25 now, and I've been in more bands than I can fucking count or even remember. Most of them never left the garage. But you know what never left, what I've always had inside of me since I was a ten-year-old introverted kid with his first walkman: the love of fucking music.
The best goddamn decision I ever made was starting my own radio station. Even if it's online, even if anyone can do it, even if I don't have licenses,
In the words of Frank Sinatra, "I did it my way." Maybe this station will look good on my resumé, maybe it'll look good for the musicians I play here, maybe itll offer a new kind of entertainment that beats the humdrum of Top 40 bullshit... that's all I can hope. All I care is that Resumé Radio helps take music away from those with money and gives it back to those with heart. Keep On Listening. |
