AmeriSon Records releases on the charts

Peters Township resident Tom Breiding is one of my favorite Pittsburgh-area musicians, with talent to burn when it comes to songwriting, singing and guitar playing. His AmeriSon studio and record label is producing quality products. And he's a heck of a nice guy, to boot.

Tom sent this info about his latest album:

Tom Breiding's "The Unbroken Circle: Songs of the WV Coalfields" jumped 18 spots to #58 on the AMA charts with 97 spins this week! 471 total spins since the release date! Keep the requests coming!

Also:

Bill Toms' AmeriSon Records release "Spirits, Chaos and a Troubadour Soul" (produced by Tom Breiding) received its first spins this week.

From Tom:

More great news from AmeriSon Productions as "The Unbroken Circle" continues to get lots of attention. It received 97 spins this week on reporting Americana stations only. I have had several requests to service AAA stations and many non-reporting stations have included it on their playlists, so I can't keep track of them. But it is safe to say that the album is being heard in every corner of the U.S.

I received a fantastic five star review on the well known about.com this week. Check out folkmusic.about.com/.

Tom also is hosting the AmeriSon Ballroom Folk Series at Cefalo's Nightclub in Carngie. Tonight's lineup (7 to 10) includes Tom Breiding, Rick Malis, Bob Beach and headliner Beaucoup Blue,

Also, Tom Breiding and American Son is playing at 10 p.m. tomorrow at PD's Pub, Forward Avenue, Squirrel Hill.
