Product Description

Review
"Martin Atkins combines the erudition of an educator with the bombast, flash, and bang of a punk rock drummer." -- Ken Lopez, associate director, Music Industry Program, University of Southern California"

Product Description
From packing the right equipment to keeping enough gas in the tank to get home, every aspect of making a successful tour with a band is addressed in this comprehensive guide. Over 100 luminaries and leading organizations from the world of touring - among them Chris Connelly, Henry Rollins, the House of Blues, and the Vans Warped Tour, as well as club owners, tour managers, and even sex advisers - provide handy insider know-how along with insight on mistakes commonly made by novice bands. Chapters address the nitty-gritty of touring, with instructions on how to secure venues and publicity, how to stay healthy on the road, and how to keep the budget in the black. Loaded with hundreds of years' worth of collective hands-on experience from those steeped in the music business, this is a must-have resource for creating an unforgettable tour.

5.0 out of 5 stars Touring laid bare - this is stuff you need to know, 1 Jun 2009
Tour:Smart really is an `owner's manual' for touring independent bands. Based on the premise that YOU are responsible for everything, the book spells out how you can maximise the impact of your pre-show marketing, make sure you are booked in the right place at the right time and, most importantly, how not to lose a ton of money.

It's a big book and features interviews with a variety of experienced touring people. Atkins himself has years of touring under his belt - listen to what he says, it's all true!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must have...., 14 Dec 2008
By J. Jones "JJ" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have crossed America 3 times with our BritBus Tour and if I had met Martin earlier those tours would have been an even better experience. This book is a must have for any band hitting the road. JJ
