Location posts are in the local section. This is the only place they are visible.

What are favorites?

Favorites are set up for a few reasons.

Artists are ranked on FanCountry by order of popularity. This is the number of FanCountry members that have added the artists to their favorites.

The more fans, the more prominence that artist has on FanCountry.

News and posts for each artist in your favorites will also be emailed to you daily or weekly based on your preferences so you will be kept in the loop with current news and comments about the artist. If you do not want to receive this email, you may opt-out by changing your preferences on your profile page.

Please note that you must be a FanCountry member and logged in to add an artist to your favorites.

What if I can’t find an artist in the database?

FanCountry works hard to make sure that the FanCountry database is comprehensive. An artist must be signed to any label as well as have music that is classified in the Country genre .. so sorry Celine Dion… no dice.

If the artist you are searching for is not in our database, then please send us your recommendation and we will do our best to research and include the artist in our database in short order. Generally expect a 1 day turn around.

I know an artist, but they are not signed by a record label. Can they be added to the database?

Sadly at this point in time, no. In the near future we will be extending FanCountry to include budding artists and unsigned artists where the FanCountry members can discover, listen and provide feedback to the artist.
