5A Music Business "Must Have"  Jan 16, 2008
Finally there's a book that gives a complete and current look at the inner workings of the concert business. Barnet, Berry, and Waddell have filled a void - no, make that a chasm - of reliable, contemporary guidance to those either in or considering earning from the concerts and touring industry. The concert business requires as much planning and risk management as any enterprise, and This Business of Concert Promotion and Touring gives the tools and guidance to avoid the quicksand. My resume includes concert production and promotion but my personal library now includes this book. Thanks Rich, Jake, and Ray.
