Less than a year on from its launch, Destination Country – the UK’s first country music media collective – has taken the UK country industry by storm throughout the tumultuous months of 2020.
Launched at the start of 2020 as the UK’s first country music media collective – comprising Entertainment Focus, Lyric Magazine, Off the Record, Triple Fret Entertainment and Your Life in a Song – Destination Country has kicked off with a wildly impressive and successful few months, launching a series of virtual live shows and fan experience events, adapting quickly to the new digital climate. The collective partnered with C2C Festival’s Country Music Week, hosting fan experience events over Zoom with Bob Harris and Jordan Davis and a live show with Brent Cobb.
Having launched a Patreon service earlier this year, the collective is now proud to announce the native platform ‘DC Family’ that will replace the former Patreon platform. Formed of three tiers – Social, Supporter and Insider – and starting from just £1 a month, the service will allow fans to ‘get closer to the artists’ providing insider video content, access to exclusive fan experience events and competitions and more. The service will provide native access for fans through the Destination Country platform rather than through Patreon. Pre-existing Patreon subscribers will need to cancel their existing membership on Patreon and subscribe again to the Destination Country platform.
