PERFORMANCE RESOURCES | GIGS AND TOURING
With the decline in recorded music sales, musicians are relying more on touring income (ticket sales, merchandise, sponsorships, etc) as a way to earn a living. It's not easy to tour, and indeed most musicians come back from tours broke. The following resources can help to keep your tours organized. In addition, the Artist Management Manual will help you put together a tour correctly and show you how to make money in the process.
