Don't Blow It: 25 Practical Steps To Build A Band That Actually Works

Okay, so it's not actually magic, but the results of following these 25 steps will indeed feel magical. This e-book is for musical artists at virtually any stage of pursuing music - from the daydreamer that hasn't yet formed their first band, to the weekend warrior wondering why they still haven't graduated from playing "Free Bird" in the smoke-stained neighborhood dive for unlimited draft domestics and gas money.

Why would you take advice from me? Well, duh...I'm a wizard.

But before I learned how to grow a beard and cast spells, I spent a couple decades as a songwriter and leading member of multiple underground record-releasing, DIY-touring bands. I've also had the unique experience of being a show promoter, a sound guy, a home studio engineer, and the booking guy for music venues.

This book is loaded with real world, practical, actionable steps. It's a playbook that can only come from someone with intimate experience of what it's like to sleep on flea-infested, beer-soaked floors during a summer tour. From someone that's driven 12 hours to play for 3 people on a Wednesday night in Montana. From someone that's also felt the rush of 100 sweaty punks packed in to the makeshift venue in the back room of a 24 hour diner, screaming every word of a song you wrote right back in your face. I've done the struggle, I've seen the rewards. Let me show you how to minimize the struggles and make sure your band doesn't fall apart while you attempt to conquer the world or whatever.
