Does My Band Need A Manager? How Do We Get On Tour? What About Record Labels?

October 15, 2020 • Ace

Today we start off with a tribute to one of the very best guitarist of all time, Eddie Van Halen. The guy that embodied what a true rock star should be... you will be missed.

As a band manager, I get approached by emerging artists all the time asking for advice on how to make things happen to advance their musical careers. Today, we discuss what actually a band manager is and if your band needs one. Should your band sign to a label? How to assemble your team... how to build relationships... know what needs to be done to make it to the top.

As you navigate the music business, check out this conversation... it will be enlightening!
