This
book explains all of the things to consider when trying to start your own band. Assuming you are good enough to perform, this
book takes you through the steps of finding other band members, recording, how
to find venues and increasing your fan base.
It has you consider some of the problems that might come up. There is also a section that explains
different career choices that include being in a band. Each page spread has a couple of paragraphs,
pictures and side bars to explain interesting facts.
I guess my issue with this book is that I’m
unsure who the audience is because the book looks likes it’s for kids, but the
ideas are for independent people who can perform in restaurants and put
themselves out there on social media which wouldn’t be young kids. The ideas are well developed and good advice
for someone who wants to start a band, but I’m not sure older kids, who would
benefit the most from this book, would pick it up.
