Jillian's Music Manifesto
 |
February 2, 2010
To Friends and Fans of Music Everywhere,
Out of the blue I woke up this morning thinking this -
Can we make a difference? Can we tell the media what it is we want to hear? Can a virtual unknown Celtic singer (me, Jillian LaDage) garner the attention of a music industry, so commercially focused, in one year's time from the fans?
Of course we can! Why not?! I would not be here without you.
Is this insane? Possibly.
Here is my question to you; can you add 10 friends, family members, and acquaintances as Fans on the Jillian LaDage Facebook Fan Page and the free email mailing list via Join the Tarith Cote Community on my Official Website? Can you add 50? 100? What about the newspaper boy, the mail man, the lady in line at the post office, your neighbor down the street? What if at years’ end this page goes from 38 fans to over 5,000?! What could happen? Can you imagine?! Would the media and music industry take notice? Would they hear our voice? Will you join me in an experiment that lets your voice be heard and is solely directed by you, the fans?
Tell anyone and everyone from now through December 31, 2010. Let’s show the music industry what we as consumers can do. Add your friends through Facebook with a post on my fan wall saying, "(Your Friend inserts YOUR Name Here) and I am in!" Copy and paste this message to your wall, emails, letters, flyers, posters, etc. Whatever you have your hands on, use it. Got free advertising space? Use it! Add it to your signature. The ways are endless and let’s create our own phenomenon. One powered by friends and fans of music!
Truly Yours,
Jillian LaDage

Biography
I was born in rural Illinois during a January blizzard to a dairy farmer and stay-at-home mom in 1980. I grew up around the prairies my Scots/Irish ancestors settled when they immigrated to America nearly two centuries ago.
I am uncertain whether I fell in love with music or if music fell in love with me. Being a dreamer, my naivety about music and the creation of, never stopped me from writing songs as a child and envisioning myself performing. I followed the paths available to me at the time and sang in local congregations and at celebrations. Pouring over books of fiction and non-fiction alike, I became enthralled with the world and music of the Celts in the mid 1990's. Drawn in by the rhythms and sounds, I became deeply interested in uncovering the past and linking the present.
Beyond music I have a great many interests with shelves of books, magazines, and articles that attest to my ever growing curiosity. From cooking, to religion, history, travel nutrition, sewing, gardening, letter writing and decorating, I have enough to last at least two lifetimes! When I am able to carve out time for myself, I can be found with at least four books open, in the process of being read, and a few dozen magazines at my feet.
