A Great Book for Aspiring LOCAL Artists

This book has it all. A step-by-step guide to making money as a local musician. He emphasizes the fact that getting a record deal is not necessarily the best thing for a group or solo artist. He says that, although it can be done successfully, it is better to stay local so you will always have a fan base. I find it refreshing to see a book that is more realistic and less fantastic.
