How To Be A Rockstar On A Budget!

Not just a budget, but a low budget!

I played in bands from the time I was about 14 until my late 20's as you can see in the very dated pic to your left. I know what a tough job bands face trying to win acclaim for their art and cash for their pocket. So, there's a new book out that might help!

Over the course of the last decade, the music industry has changed dramatically. International record sales are down fifty percent, labels do not have the budgets they once did, and many deserving groups have been forced to fend for themselves. In this age of YouTube and digital music stores, how does an Indie band sustain a career?

Professional touring artist Scott Ibex, who also holds a law degree, provides that solution with his practical, organized guide for musicians, Low Budget ROCKSTAR: The Complete Do-It-Yourself Guide to Booking, Surviving, and Making a Profit on Your Own Indie Tour (Orange Moon Press). This book enables musicians to control their own destiny, preserve ownership of their work, and complete profitable national tours.

“The internet gives bands the opportunity to maintain creative control of their music, publishing, royalties, and merchandise,” says Ibex. “My guidebook teaches artists how to build a full-time career by utilizing practical knowledge and valuable legal resources, something similar books do not share.”

Low Budget ROCKSTAR: The Complete Do-It-Yourself Guide to Booking, Surviving, and Making a Profit on Your Own Indie Tour , provides step-by-step instructions on everything from setting up a “road-ready” digital office to planning a tour schedule, budgeting, drafting electronic press kits, merchandising, self-promotion, and much more.
