The Father's Day production calendar
Retail moves early, the tributes land the week of.

Late April to early May
Plan the season
Creative direction gets set for hardware, outdoor, and gift campaigns. A good moment to decide how rugged, how sentimental, or how funny the season should sound.
Mid-May
Search the catalog

Late May to early June
License and edit
Most titles include edits at 60, 30, 15, and stingers, so one track can cover the main spot and every shorter cut for both a retail campaign and a tribute video.
June, through the third Sunday
On air, and in the family group chat
Retail spots run through the weekend while tribute and montage videos post the week of the holiday. Alternate versions with less instrumentation leave room for voiceover and personal stories.

About Father's Day production music
The sound of Father's Day, from the workshop to the front porch.
Father's Day music has to cover a lot of ground: rugged enough for a hardware or grill commercial, easygoing enough for a backyard cookout montage, and gentle enough for a tribute video that means something. GMP Music licenses Father's Day production music across that entire range, produced and recorded by accomplished composers in recording studios specifically for GMP Music, drawn from a catalog of around 60,000 tracks that grows every week.
Producers use it as Americana background music for tool, grill, and auto commercials, feel-good background music for cookout and gift-reveal content, country background music for outdoor and sporting goods campaigns, and acoustic background music for the tribute and family montage videos that go out the week of the holiday. Nearly all of our titles include a theme version with full instrumentation, alternate versions with less instrumentation, edits at common broadcast lengths of 60, 30, 15, and stingers, and versions separated by sections or parts.
Licensing is clean and simple. The standard license covers almost everything, so the same track can run across broadcast, streaming, social, and event video. The only exception is theatrical release, which requires an additional license. Every license includes master and publishing rights for the GMP-owned catalog, with clear documentation for your production.
Whether your project needs backyard grit or a genuinely tender moment, we are eager to assist you in your music search, to find just the right track that will represent your brand and vision for your media project.
