    About this series

    We are musicians. We love to perform and strive to keep music a part of every day. We also juggle careers, family, and other competing obligations, but at the end of the day, we are guided by an inner compass that rarely strays from true north.  When it works well, creating moments on stage with like-minded artists can be a transcendent experience. But as we can probably all attest to, getting to this point takes planning, intent, hard work, and consistent follow-through, and yes, equal parts luck.  We created Band Advisor for players like you that believe music is not an either-or proposition. Through a series of short-form chapters, get access to great advice and best practices from other working musicians to take your group or solo act from good to great. Whether you are just starting or have worked the local music scene for years, our goal is to deliver actionable information that you can use.

    We have organized this information into a five-volumes series beginning with 'Organize.' This collection tackles the myriad of questions surrounding best practices in bringing together the essential parts of the puzzle involved in starting a live act. Other volumes in the series include 'Create,' where you will whiteboard your plan and set the wheels in motion. Then, use the advice from 'Share' and 'Grow' to get your music in front of your fans. Finally, keep it going with tips from the final stage 'Sustain' and diffuse the common challenges that lead most bands to break up.

    During my time as a local gigging musician, I met so many creative, inspired people out there also working the live music scene. Back in 2009, when my first bar band was on track to begin playing out, I thought I had it all figured out. However, once we started racking up gigs, I soon realized how little I knew about how to launch, grow, and sustain a live act. And, probably like you, with a day job, I didn't have a lot of time to troubleshoot. Searching the web for fixes was a bit like wading through miles of swamp to divine the clear spring waters. So, my intent in creating Band Advisor was to aggregate and present the expertise from like-minded individuals, and to be the catalyst for learning and productive conversation.  Band Advisor is undoubtedly a passion project. And I suspect that other home-town musicians share my goal to build a cash-flow positive side-line music gig. However, after spending weeks on the web, it soon became clear to me that creating another text-heavy blog post wasn't the answer. As I considered the common pressure points that musicians face, the need for practical but straightforward tools that we could all use became apparent. I hope that you will find these chapters, associated tools, and recommended links useful and that these components in aggregate will both save you time and allow you to focus your artistic energy into a beam of pure joy.
