Success in the music business isn't the result of a whimsical journey fueled by a few good tunes; it's a destination reached after a long and well-planned trip over a road filled with potholes, detours and speed bumps. This book is your road map. It tells you what you need to know and to do, step-by-step, to market your act and your music. Topics include: starting a band, booking gigs, press and the media, recording, copyright, merchandising, touring, finances, managers and agents, and record deals. Author Marc Davison draws on his 25 years of experience -- from playing and touring with bands to booking and managing them - to give you "All Area Access" to musical success.
