Interested in the Music Business? Here’s a Blog and a Seminar that Might Help

Antonio Ponce, author of Don’t Forget the Business in the Music Business, recently posted a new blog about financial responsibility and budgeting for bands. Titled “Band Budget – Tips On How To Keep Money In The Bank For Band Expenses”, Ponce gives musicians tips on how to organize their finances for the future.

He explains:

“Having your own personal budget under control is huge for band success and for your own personal life. Money in the bank means you have access to open more doors. You can get to any out of town showcases, you can have merch and recordings”.

In other words, the more money a band takes in, the more money they can spend on travel and other necessary costs. Makes a lot of sense.
