What it is

You're the songwriter, the booker, the merch table, the accountant and the driver. Everyone says you should be recording, releasing music, booking shows, building an email list and posting daily, and nobody tells you what to do first. The Indie Musician Roadmap puts it in order: from getting your songs recorded, to releasing them, to getting booked and paid. It's written by musicians who've lived it, made for artists in Canada, and keeps burnout on the agenda instead of pretending it isn't there.
