MEMPHIS TN (IFS) – All Skepticism aside, Kenneth Howard Smith don't watch much TV, he don't listen to CD's that are not sent to me to play on my radio networks, he don't listen to the radio but he DO listen to SDC Radio Networks monitoring his eight radio stations, where he consistently makes changes and upgrades to the music.

SDC Radio Networks for such a small footprint in the internet radio market, has managed to help create one (1) Grammy Award winner in Country newcomer, Kacey Musgraves, a product of MusicSubmit.com and a Television Tony Award for Bernadette Bascom.

Both of these artists have in common, the sharing of the SDC Radio Networks playlists. Also on the list included Chris Montez who scored again with his 1963 hit recording of “Let’s Dance” that exploded into a DSW Shoes commercial and RG Ingersoll’s “All Systems Go” production that ended up on CBS News Television special for Skully Helmets.

SDC Radio Networks’ snail mail delivers to them over 100 new CD’s a week from recording and singer/songwriter artists from all over the world. Another one hundred plus emails received daily includes a minimum of two new mp3s from artists worldwide.

In 1994, KDTN Radio One was launched by SDC on the Broadcast.com system. Little did Kenneth Howard Smith know at that time, he was among the very first internet radio stations. Smith continued his passion for programming unknown artists from around the world. This has been his trademark on the internet radio community for years. He loves the underdog.

But as with any venue that can expose talent, Smith’s little operation has taken on a heavier clientele. Billboard Magazine, MusicSubmit, RadioDirectX, Airplay, Musik and Film, has given the little station that did -- more choices of artists to play with direct reporting power to the trades. SDC has grown from one radio station to over eight (8) stations todate, including two (2) talk radio sites, three (3) television sites and eighteen (18) blog magazines.

SDC Radio Networks’ SDC Digital Systems has its very own Top 50 music show every December for the past five (5) years showcasing its own top pick artists for the year end show. The 2013 Top 50 artist’s champion was Amy Barbera who has won several national and international music awards. Barbera’s shows great promise and could be heading to a major label deal within the next couple of months.

What is the successful secret behind SDC OmniMedia Group? One Kenneth Howard Smith, who attended Antelope Valley College in Lancaster, California while majoring in Public Relations. Later Smith would attend San Fernando Valley College, University of California at Los Angeles, and California School of Law were he learned the art of music and publicity management. While attending his schooling, his day job was a songwriter and record producer for Motown Records, ABC Records, Claridge Records and D-Town Records.

Smith’s productions in music, film and television have include works with Lee Rogers, Merrell Fankhauser, Spirit, Harry Nilsson, Perry Bodkins, Jr., Crosby Still and Nash, and many other artists and group over the years. Smith is primarily known for his “Save The Whales” concert in Washington, D.C., on July 28, 1978, with the funds that launched “The Greenpeace Movement”. The daredevils with the boats that go after the whalers in the open seas.

With his high spirits on music, radio and indie artists, Smith’s hopes were to help get new artist exposure. One of his first groups under the Platinum Sound Productions company Papa’s Results for his MasterTrack Records company that he later leased to Atlantic Records, and with the Christian Rock band “Stryper” in 1978.

Duffy Kane

 

What do you get when you combine an inner calling, a sick passion and an uncommon urgency with The Blues, Rock N’ Roll and Americana?... You get the highly evolved musical madness of guitarist Duffy Kane.  Duffy is a man who just wants to play guitar. His music is as diverse as he is American. His fever for the guitar is evident in his sheer electricity on stage. Like a volcano that is ready to erupt… Duffy is the real deal on stage and off.

Born in Weirton WV, Duffy Kane was surrounded by the sounds of Jazz, Classical, Blues and Country. A classically trained violist; he altered his knowledge of the violin and easily transferred it to the guitar. A self taught guitar player with a classically trained ear is the foundation for Duffy’s provocative guitar style. His mother was a guitar player. When Duffy was a kid there was a beat up guitar that sat in the corner of his living room. Duffy remembers grieving as a child because his yearning to pick up that guitar was so strong but his father forbade him. That created even more of a yearning to grab that guitar and let it rip! Finally, when he was 16… he saved enough money to buy his own Les Paul and never looked back.

A cross between Stevie Ray Vaughan’s musicianship and Ted Nugent’s stage presence… his style evolved into a need. He started playing festivals and performed with Blues greats: Johnny Winter, Big Jack Johnson, Tino Gonzales, Debbie Davies, Sonny Rhodes, the Nighthawks, and Smokey Wilson. He recorded his first studio album Let Your Insides Do the Talking at 16th Avenue Sound in Nashville with Grammy nominated producer Brian Hardin (Jerry Lee Lewis and Charlie Daniels).

Duffy Kane’s new record is set for release May 2014 and has been inspired by Duffy’s need to tell his story. The debut album touches on geo politics but is not preachy. Duffy says, “I write to wake people up to the true nature of the geo political dogs that are screwing up our planet. I feel the need to present the truth and music is a safe way to do that... well maybe not safe… but a good way to convey emotion.”
The debut single entitled “I’ve Been Lied To” deals with the lies and disappointments that Duffy has experienced in the music business. 

It stretches tonal boundaries and introduces more colorful, harmonic passages.. The second single, “Why My Road” is a slow cooked tribute to Texas Blues. Kane’s musicianship is based deep within the roots of The Blues while showcasing his original signature sound.

Duffy’s new work aims at powerful and wins. The songs will make you laugh and cry and will hopefully enlighten. Duffy says, “The songs on this album are really about being an individual in the light of truth and not in darkness. They are my own personal struggles to choose the light. I want to do what is good and I hope I can help others through my music and my message.”

Duffy is currently on tour throughout the North and South East. Seeing Duffy live is an experience that will uplift your soul. He’s been called a Roadhouse Mozart and that name follows him because of the truth behind it. A rogue renaissance musician who is ahead of his time… Duffy is a man on the run. Please check his website: www.duffykane.com for tour dates.

Duffy will hit the road this spring to play the House of Blues in Orlando as well as other dates in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland, and Virginia. His passion to combine The Blues, Rock N’ Roll and Americana is evident on his new LP. His music is as diverse as he is American. His fever for the guitar is evident in his sheer electricity on stage.

Richard Kennedy, Music Director for Roy Clark:
"Duffy Kane made me sit up and actually listen - his music is not something that you can just have playing in the background. He draws you into a world created by a sound that comes from experience. The roots of his music are obviously deep yet he takes the listener to new ground - familiar and at the same time uncontaminated by cliche."
Michael B. Sutton, Composer, former Staff Writer/Producer at Classic Motown
"Duffy is the real deal.  Love the music!  Great voice and guitar chops as well...whole lotta soul!!"     
Keith Hannaleck, Muzik Reviews.com
 "Duffy Kane looks like one tough hombre in his publicity shot and that may be true but if you listen to his music you know straight away that one picture does not define a man. It is the music of Kane that makes him. The sounds of Blues, Americana and Rock will come pouring out your speakers like a raging river, just hang on and hope you can stay afloat! Diversity rules the roost with the music of Mr. Kane and that is what got him his place on our site. He does it all very well."
Bryan Wodaski, Queen City Performing Arts Develoopment, Inc
 "Kane represents a man who has found his way, with a very accomplished style that is not formulaic or derivative.  There is no need for him to copy anyone.  He is an American original."
John Fizer, Graffiti Mag, Music Monthly, Pulp Radio
"For my two cents I'll go on record as saying he is without a doubt of international caliber and probably the best Texas blues player since Stevie Ray Vaughn."
Craig Keyes, EMR Productions, Salt Lake City UT
 "The best unsigned blues artist I've seen to date.  You definately don't want to follow him on stage.  Hard act to follow."
