Our handy Invite page lets you choose your friends from major social networks like Facebook, MySpace, and YouTube, or from your address book on popular email systems like GMail, Hotmail, AOL, and Yahoo.



When you choose one of these services, you'll be asked for your username and password for that service. That information is *only* used to log in to the service so that you can choose which of your friends to invite. Your account name and password for those services is *not* recorded, stored or otherwise used by Groove River.

You can also just enter their email addresses one at a time.

Use the search tool to find the person that you're looking for. Then click that person's profile. In the left-hand column is a link that reads "Add to My Friends". Click it, and a friendship request will be sent to that person. They must approve your friendship request before it becomes active.

Every action you perform on Groove River earns you points. Get the full scoop on points in our Points FAQ.

Our goal is to help local bands promote their music to the masses. To facilitate that, we offer free ads to bands, which can be purchased using points. Points are earned by bands and their fans by posting photos, uploading videos, commenting, blogging, and posting events. Basically, using Groove River to promote your band gathers points, which you can then use to advertise. See the Get the full scoop on points in our Points FAQ for more info.

Groove River intends to be the premier community for independent musicians, and will soon be offering a digital music store where artists can sell their music.

Easy. Just click on the "Music" button and click the Upload Songs link. Then, your music will automatically be added to your profile and to the Groove River playlists.

Groove River is the premier online community for musicians in the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky metropolitan area.

The 15-county Cincinnati metropolitan area, which includes seven counties in Northern Kentucky and three in Southeast Indiana, now ranks as the largest metropolitan area in Ohio. The Census Bureau pegged the Cincinnati region's total population at 2,133,678 as of July 1, 2007.

The rich and vibrant musical heritage of the community is experiencing a revitalization and renewed interest both regionally and nationally.

Groove River is a digital representation of the core of this revitalization effort, and your support furthers a cause that improves the very health of the community with which you do business. So if we have to spell that out for you, we mean "what's good for the goose is good for the gander".

To be even more direct, we can provide a uniquely targeted advertising opportunity for your product and services.

Sure, we'll give you a free directory listing with a few caveats.

1. You have to ascribe to the Groove River Statement of Purpose: In a nutshell, we'll help you if you're helping local musicians. If you're not dedicated to that goal, go ahead and move on.

2. By creating your directory listing, you agree to be bound by our terms of service, which basically gives us the right to change our terms of service at any time, and to kick you off Groove River if you don't take #1 seriously.

That being said, welcome! We're happy to have you join our effort to build a strong and vibrant music scene!

Glad you asked. Groove River is the product of many hours of effort by a band of local musicians, journalists, and programmers, all sharing a unique vision for the digital embodiment of local music. Contact us and we'll be happy to give you the scoop.
