R3,094 Discovery Miles 30 940 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

One Hit Wonders is a complete introduction to the music industry from the initiation of production to distribution of the final product. Each chapter is related to a popular film about the industry, making the content student-friendly and highly accessible and creating a cycle of fictional rock cinema linked to informative text. The book neatly sidesteps conventional organization, with material grouped into clean, clear sections that focus on archetypes, emotions, and experiences. Rather than addressing the best way to find and hire a publicist, the book encourages students to examine "the moment" that musical magic begins to brew. Through iconic films like Jailhouse Rock and Phantom of the Paradise, students explore topics such as the mores of existing as a musician in this modern world and music's ability to create enormous possibilities for personal transformation. One Hit Wonders teaches students that the music industry is more than a business-it's an experience. The book is written for courses in music industry management and production. It can also serve as a supplemental text for courses in popular culture and contemporary music appreciation.

Shannon Curtis
R252 Discovery Miles 2 520 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

How many times have you thought that "there's got to be a better way" to reach more people and make more money with your music?

With a unique approach to touring and turning a profit, singer-songwriter Shannon Curtis has released an in-depth eBook that details how up-and-coming artists can follow her direct-to-fan recipe for making way more fans and way more money.

"No Booker, No Bouncer, No Bartender: How I Made $25K On A 2-Month House Concert Tour (And How You Can Too)" breaks down in plain language and precise detail a plan for artists that doesn't follow the traditional club & coffeehouse methodology. Topics covered include:

Finding the right hosts how to build an itinerary using your existing email list and social media relationships

Creating the ideal performance space how to focus your audience and maximize your show's intimacy and connectivity

Helping your hosts put together their invite lists how to set yourself up for a successful event by guaranteeing "critical mass"

Setup and flow how best to pace the evening to maximize guests' experience (and your income )

Gathering donations how to partner with your host for a financially successful event

Merchandise strategies how to create awareness, maximize your effectiveness, and make more money

Making sure you have the right gear specific equipment recommendations and how-tos

But more than just giving procedural suggestions, Curtis goes deeper, thoroughly explaining the psychology and interpersonal dynamics behind her tremendously successful house concert touring method. You won't just come away with a knowledge of "what" works, you'll understand "why" it works.

Curtis says: "My decision several years ago to abandon traditional club touring in favor of house concerts has made my career as an artist better on every measurable level. I sell more albums and merch, generate more income, receive more signups to my email list, and most importantly, I make stronger, deeper connections with the people listening to my music. With this book, I'm confident that you can open the door to a whole new world of deeply enriching performance experiences, whether you're a veteran artist or a complete rookie to touring."

RAVES:

""Shannon Curtis captures in this book the essence of what it means to be an independent musician: 100% control of your career and 100% of the benefits. Curtis's alternative model for touring cuts out the middleman, and puts the power (and money) back in the hands of the artists. She's a true entrepreneur, and an inspiration for any artist looking to become successful on their own terms."" - Patti Silverman, SF Music Tech

""As an independent artist who's done nearly 100 house shows, I'm here to tell you that anyone who's considered going that route needs this book. Of all the crap we waste money on as artists, nothing I can think of will give you the return on investment this book will. Shannon gives you a staggering level of detail. Stop reading this review and read the book, like, now."" - JT Spangler, Nashville musician

""I just wanted to thank you. I have been expanding my booking schedule and using house shows more frequently and leaning heavily on your model, and it is literally changing my life. I am making more money, and finding myself more fulfilled and encouraged than ever before while building a better fan base than ever before. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. Thank you."" - Bradford Loomis, independent artist, Seattle
