Is KentuckyJam.org a record label?
No. KentuckyJam.org is not a record label. We do not sell music or profit from it in any way. We make high quality recordings of artists’ work, print some CDs and help the artist self-publish the music on the internet. Once the music is published, KentuckyJam.org’s work is done. The artist can then work to promote and sell their music as they see fit.
What’s the catch?
The catch is that it we work at a slow pace. We are a small organization operating solely on donations and volunteers. We will help as many musicians as we can but can only do so one at a time. Getting one musician recorded and published could take up to a year due to the complexity of juggling the schedules of all those involved in the process.

Why a PO Box and not a street address?
We want as much money as possible to go directly into helping musicians. In order to keep operating costs at a bare minimum, we do not maintain an office space or pay for a telephone. We use the PO Box and email for correspondence to save costs.
