"How to make money with your music without a label. What is the new business model for indie artists?"

Eric Tingstad ~

Grammy-award winning American fingerstyle guitarist, Eric Tingstad, is renowned for creating beautifully crafted instrumental tunes with a definite "sense of place."  His latest outings move away from chamber-style classical guitar, into the western roots of American music. On Feb. 21 he released "Badlands," a 12-cut collection following a Grammy-nomination for "Southwest" in 2007.

Best known as the harmonic half of Tingstad & Rumbel, Tingstad launched his career as a classical guitarist trained in the Segovian tradition. His first outing with Nancy Rumbel launched this unlikely duo of classical guitar, oboe, English horn and ocarina in 1985 when their highly acclaimed holiday CD, The Gift sold 11,000 units in ten weeks. The Gift has sold hundreds of thousands of copies and is a holiday classic. Playing over a hundred dates a year in small rural communities, national parks, and America's best concert halls did not go unnoticed and in 2003 Tingstad & Rumbel won a Grammy Award in support of "Acoustic Garden." Well-received, and highly revered for their musicianship, stewardship of the land, preservation of the environment, contributions to humanitarian causes, art and architecture, Tingstad & Rumbel have shared a musical journey few artists will have the pleasure to experience. http://www.erictingstad.com

Seth Jackson ~

After reading multiple blogs and books about music marketing on how to get a band famous, he noticed something disturbing: a lack of real world results from those techniques.  Being an independent musician, he decided to take the opportunity to document experiments in getting more fans, getting money, and improving the lifestyle of a musician in a band.  This experiment will document a new band, starting from scratch, from everything on how to get members, how to get gigs, and documenting the actual financial outcome of these experiments. http://howtorunaband.com
Bass guitarist and composer.  Seth works a day job as a software engineer, in pursuit of fulfilling his life's dream of being a self-sufficient musician.  This blog is to share the ups and downs of this adventure and, hopefully, find great techniques that everyone can use to achieve success in the extremely difficult world of music.
