BETA Records - Your music matters!

Tired of being told by various and sundry music industry insiders that many of his songs are good in quality but will never be recorded in Nashville due to political and social content, songwriter Richard Aberdeen rounded up some of Nashville’s top musicians and session vocalists and began to record material content that many here in Nashville (and elsewhere) believe should be heard on 21st Century American radio, given the dire straits certain members of both major political parties have managed to drag our nation into.

Our first effort, “Homeless In America: Twenty-One Songs of Social Content for the 21st Century”, has received radio airplay on many independent stations throughout the United States, Canada, England and other European markets and a few Asian markets. Some of the tracks have also been used on various television programs and radio talk shows, such as Thom Hartmann’s Air America show, some in a new DVD documentary on the homeless and the song “Big Mack Donald” was included in a recent VH-1 “Save The Music” charity CD release.

Subsequent CD releases include "GONNA RISE UP" and AMERICAN RIVER. Our recordings are currently being used by the National Coalition for the Homeless, New Orleans Common Ground Collective Relief and several other organizations as a fundraising tool. We are open to select organizations using our recordings in this fashion at our cost and they may be used for no charge in approved video releases. For more information on fundraising opportunities, please call 800-992-8084.
