The Black Book Guide to Official Country Music Fan Clubs: The Top 100, by Amy Jordan, offers an inside look at America’s top country music artists and their fan clubs, including superstar entertainers like Kenny Chesney, Faith Hill, George Strait and Rascal Flatts. Each listing includes free stuff like music, download and photos that fans can get without joining a club.
To be fair, the top 100 are named alphabetically from Trace Adkins to Trisha Yearwood. The book includes perennial favorites with informal clubs like Garth Brooks and Reba, along with newcomers like American Idol Carrie Underwood and The Wreckers.
Free is good. And country music fan clubs offer a plethora of freebies for their fans.
“Country music fan clubs are just a wonderful, secret treasure-trove for fans,” writer Amy Jordan said.
Want free music and free photographs? Visit a fan club website. Want to meet your favorite country music singer? Join the fan club and you may get a meet-and-greet pass for the next concert in your town.
Country music fans can get free screensavers, photographs, newsletters and even new music online. Most new bands have street teams that can be joined for free. Or pay to join the official fan club and receive extra benefits like the chance to meet your favorite singer or autographed merchandise.
The book includes a chapter with tips on how to join a fan club. Each fan club entry includes:
• How to join and the cost
• Contact information
• Who offers backstage passes, and how many
• How to get free music, photos and autographs
• Special benefits and extras
“The book is written for country music lovers. The relationship between country music artists and fans is a personal one and a wonderful tradition,” Jordan said. “Now fans can have all of the most current fan club information in one book.”
The Black Book Guide to Country Music Fan Clubs: The Top 100, from Trace Adkins to Trisha Yearwood is available at amazon.com and blackbookpress.com. The price is $7.95.
