The minute you step out of your living room and onto the stage (or sidewalk) with your voice or instrument, you are not just a musician, you are part of the music industry. Every song you write, every gig you play, every CD you produce or digital track you sell involves contract law, copyrights, sales and taxation issues, promotion and marketing. This blog is your go-to resource for running your band biz -- so you can spend your time worrying about your riffs and grooves, not your retainers and royalties. Rock on!
