About The Counter Rhythm Group
Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, The Counter Rhythm Group is the brainchild of Brian Penick, founder, drummer and over-thinker. After touring for more than 13 years, he turned to assisting independent artists with record marketing, publicity and radio promotion, among other critical areas. Today, Brian and the small staff of industry specialists at The Counter Rhythm Group have completed developmental campaigns for both emerging and well-known artists and music entities alike.
The Counter Rhythm Group was flooded with requests soon after it opened in 2010, and with those requests came challenges, such as handling a large roster of clients. The solution? Musicians' Desk Reference. Brian has created this digital collection to help many artists new and experienced build a solid foundation of knowledge and develop their presence as they progress through today's music industry.
