Your page on The 615 Hideaway

Your page on The 615 Hideaway — for bands and musicians.

The 615 Hideaway is a smart release network for bluegrass, roots, folk and country music. Artists upload a single once, and our platform automatically handles targeted radio distribution to active DJs while building a verified fan email list at the exact same time.

Share your music and story. When you have a single, Radio Now reaches DJs. See how your page works, show up in Artist Hub, and see the single's road when you have a release for DJs.

  • Artist Hub — your page is a professional home for fans, radio, festivals, and the wider roots music community.
  • Upload a single (when ready) — strong style tags and credits so DJs find you in Radio Now search and filters.
  • On a label roster? — your label may upload for you; ask about a Pub / Man invite if you need to edit your own page.
