3.0 out of 5 stars OK, but not great, Jan 30 2009

By David Stahly - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Making Money Making Music: The Musician's Guide to Cover Gigs (Paperback)

First, making money playing music is an oxymoron. It doesn't happen for the vast majority of musicians. We play because we love music. We have day jobs to feed our families. That being said, if you have never played in a band and gigged out, then this gives you the basic information you need to start a band and get gigs. If you have been in bands and played gigs, save your money, there is nothing really new or ground-breaking in here. You already know the drill.
