Book Description
This book covers all the dos and don'ts of forming your own band, including putting together a group, rehearsing, finding an agent, booking gigs, touring and life on the road, and negotiating a recording contract. This advice is seasoned with real stories by an author who has years of experience in bar bands and local groups, with a no-nonsense, realistic appreciation for the grit and determination that it takes to make it as a musician. Checklists - ranging from a standard PR kit to equipment lists and even lists of popular songs - enhance the value of this easy-to-use and fun-to-read book.
