Being in a band is fun when you have the right group of people around you and you’re playing music that makes you feel alive. That’s how it should be!

But as soon as you step off that stage (and before you ever get on it, in fact), the other 90% of running your band’s business kicks in. The time where you have to schedule social posts, book shows, review agreements, network with other artists, etc. etc.
