1. Join the Kevin Sharp Friends Club. (If you haven't already!) Record companies DO look at the strength of fan club memberships. Plus, you get a signed 8x10, official news, pics, meet-and-greet passes, exclusive goodies, and more. It's truly worth every penny.

4. Call your local radio stations. Just keeping Kevin Sharp's name "out there" will be a huge help. Request Nobody Knows or another of Kevin's great hits. (For more helpful hints about making radio station requests, click here.
5. Call or write the local venues. If Kevin has performed in an arena, theater, nightclub or festival near you, call or write to that venue to thank them. Tell them you'd LOVE to see Kevin performing there again soon.
6. Blab about Kevin Sharp. Tell your friends! Your family, your co-workers, your neighbors. Tell everybody how very cool Kevin Sharp is. Even better, take someone along with you to the next Kevin concert!
Kevin's story sure is worth sharing. His music is, too.

7. Who's he? Place a poster or picture of Kevin Sharp prominently on your wall at work, at home, even in your school locker. You'd be surprised how much Kevin-related conversation results. You'll also be surprised when, weeks later, friends tell you about their own Kevin Sharp sightings.
8. No paste required. Don't forget to use a great picture of Kevin for your computer's wallpaper/background. People are bound to ask about him. With Netscape, you can just right-click on a picture and choose "Set As Wallpaper."
9. Blast Kevin's music everywhere you go! Don't disturb the peace, of course. But this is sure to start more conversations. It'll also get a lot of toes tapping. Play it at home, in the car, at work... Don't forget Kevin's Christmas tunes.
Most service providers and web communities have their own web-building programs. It's easier than ever!

10. Create your own website. Your homepage is a great place to mention Kevin Sharp. Or even better, dedicate the entire site to the man! Send the URL to KevinFriends and tell the world.
11. "Do you work here?" When you're shopping for CDs, it's easy to move Kevin's CDs to the front of his row in the bins. Sneaky, but easy.
12. No uniform required. But for some people, it sure is fun. Wear a Kevin Sharp shirt, hat and pin. Carry a Kevin keychain and drink from a Kevin mug. It's not a question of who's a looney-tune. It's Who Wants to Be a Kevin Sharp Fan!
