ERNIE HALTER
Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Ernie Halter released his album "Congress Hotel" on Rock Ridge Music earlier this year. It was his very tech-savvy approach to promoting and marketing his music that garnered the label's attention: Halter webcasts all of his shows and has over 73,000 friends on MySpace - all accomplished in a very grassroots and organic manner.
Utilizing his tech know-how, and his extraordinarily focused work ethic, Halter has taken his MySpace page - which now serves as his official website - and has incorporated such unique features as a live "tour van cam" and nightly webcasts of his concerts across the US. In 2007, he has toured the country with Tony Lucca, Curtis Peoples, Tyrone Wells and Leigh Nash.
"Real and rounded acoustic, pop rock music with a soul edge is alive and well and living in the City of Angels. One of those angels is Ernie Halter." - Entertainment World
