"The Musician's Guide is a valuable resource for touring and gigging musicians - the exact demographic we target in our marketing. Unlike a magazine it is used over and over again, driving home our message."

Peter D'Addario
D'Addario Strings


"This is by far the most accurate, useful and up to date sourcebook for touring musicians."

Chris Carson
Musician, Sodium


"These days we find most everybody knows the Oasis CD story--who we are, what we offer, and how we're different--and we give the original Musician's Guide To Touring & Promotion a lot of the credit. Their market penetration allows us to get our story heard throughout the industry, year in and year out."
