Succinct and to the point, David Rovics demystifies the very different
skills necessary to cultivate the arts of songwriting, guitar-playing
and tour booking. In an era when the truly independent record label is
virtually a thing of the past, Rovics explains how it's possible to make
a living as a recording artist without a label. At a time when the
corporate record industry is suing music fans for sharing music, Rovics
explains why the internet is good for independent artists, and how to
utilize its potential. For those hoping to get a major record deal and
become rich and famous, look elsewhere. But if you're looking to make a
living as an independent artist, this pamphlet is a must-read.
