Acerca de esta escucha
When I thought about writing a book about being a working musician, a few things went through my mind. Who am I to write a guide on this subject? Am I really an expert on this? I spoke with more and more people who have known me for a long time and know my history. They all gave me a resounding "Yes! You are in the business and have seen all areas of the business, go for it".
In my travels all around the world, many aspiring artists and musicians have asked me questions about touring. Many of the questions are similar, but some really stand out. Nevertheless, I've always made notes on what questions were asked. When I started creating this audiobook, I quickly realized I was writing more than just a guide on touring. It is a guide for the music business and solid musicianship in general. This is for the working musician who may play on the weekends for a hobby but aspires to do more.
Some "notes" may be fairly basic. Others are for the advanced musician who has already moved to Nashville, LA, or New York. Everything in this collection is for any musician (or music lover) looking for secrets and tips about being on the road and beyond.
This audiobook is a personal account of this business from my humble opinion and experiences. Some may agree on certain points, and some certainly will not. Often, there are no clear-cut guidelines in this business. The following notes are some of mine. Enjoy your listen and leverage my experiences (and mistakes) to help you on your musical journey. I hope it helps you become successful in whatever aspect of the business you pursue.
Don't let anyone stop you...go for it!

Historia
Musician Chris 'Manafest' Greenwood lost his father to suicide at the age of five, and found himself with nothing to cling to but a single mom and his childhood dream of moving to California to become a professional skateboarder. But God had different plans; by the age of 18 Chris fell in love with hip-hop music and quit his corporate job to join the ranks of Toronto's competitive underground hip hop scene, choosing the name Manafest as a reflection of his goal to manifest his dreams.

No one other than Warren Zanes, rocker and writer and friend, could author a book about Tom Petty that is as honest and evocative of Petty's music and the remarkable rock and roll history he and his band helped to write. Born in Gainesville, Florida, with more than a little hillbilly in his blood, Tom Petty was a Southern shit kicker, a kid without a whole lot of promise. Rock and roll made it otherwise.

With student loan debt piling up and no lucrative gigs around the corner, Scott Bradlee found himself in a situation all too familiar to struggling musicians and creative professionals, unsure whether he should use the little income he had to pay the rent on his basement apartment on the fringes of New York City or to avoid defaulting on his loans. It was under these desperate circumstances that Bradlee began experimenting, applying his passion for jazz, ragtime, and doo-wop styles to contemporary hits by singers like Macklemore and Miley Cyrus - and suddenly an idea was born.
