Hi everyone,
My name is Alex and apart from playing the trombone, washboard, bongos, kazoo and blues harp in the the Jive Aces, I do the promotion and marketing of the band, CDs, gigs and everything else.
I'm self taught in all these aspects and continuously learning new things and tricks and encountering pitfalls and (hopefully) learning how to avoid them.
I'll be posting every so often about anything and everything to do with promotion and marketing of an independent band and music.
What this blog will NOT be is a "how to get a million social media subscribers in five minutes" type blog. Social media is incredibly wide reaching and effective but by no means the only way to reach your audience. It will include everything from online, to promotion of different types of gigs, to distribution of music, to writing, production and distribution of music videos to any interesting tidbits that could be of use to the independent musician or artist.
I have learned a lot from other people generously sharing info online but have also over the last 15 years of doing this job, learned a lot myself and think it may come in useful to someone. I hope it does!
If there are any aspects you'd like to know about that you think would make a good post I may know about then please let me know.
Cheers, Alex
