"Many, if not most, artists working today own some of their own content - or work with labels who embrace progressive promotional tools like DeliRadio. For them, getting the music heard - particularly in 'concert markets' - is paramount," says Skeen.

Primary features include streaming, robust social functionality, and instant access to concert and club date listings.  Overall, DeliRadio encourages and facilitates friending, messaging, and sharing on both fan-to-band and fan-to-fan levels. Most importantly, it helps drive music fans to go see local and national acts play live in venues in their area.
