Canadian Distribution Title Selection Process

Spirit River receives many requests from musicians and artists looking for national distribution. Due to volume and time constraints we rarely review unsolicited material. We recommend approaching us through a known record store or through an artist already distributed by Spirit River. We also recommend personally emailing or calling us with some basic information. Unsolicited means that we haven t received an e-mail or phone call introducing the artist. After this step we require that you send us:

A Press Kit that includes:

  • Professional demo or completed recorded project (with catalogue number and bar code
  • Artist/Group encourage phone calls and e-mails of inquiry. No packages will be returned unless you provide us with self stamped envelopes.

Send submissions to:

We will ONLY contact those people who we are interested in distributing but we do
