GENERAL INFO:

West Virginia Music Center is THE up-to-date, no-frills, get-to-the-point directory of live bands and musicians working in the Mountain State.

Most on-line band listing sites have two reasons for being:

• to get you to you look at their pop-up advertising
• to acquire your email address so they can sell it

West Virginia Music Center has only ONE purpose... to increase the your visibility to club owners, party planners, fairs & festivals and the paying public by helping them find your website.

West Virginia Music Center is reserved for West Virginia bands and musicians only. It is hosted on a low-traffic server so that it loads in a snap. The site has no ads, never sells your email address and does not charge you a cent.

West Virginia Music Center is fast and easy to navigate. From the talent list on the front page, click your act name to see a brief description in a new window (or tab). To see more, click the link at the bottom to go to YOUR full site. Closing that window (or tab) brings visitors back to the talent list.

A. A link back to http:wvmc.com/ on your website.

Q. WHY DOES MY LISTING NOT APPEAR IN THE LIST WHERE I EXPECT IT TO?

A. You must host your own website elsewhere. I will put you on the talent list and provide a teaser page with a picture and a link to your website.
