Top 10 Music
Marketing and Promotion Ezines
Our good friends at The
Bard's Crier have compiled their list of the top ten music marketing
and promotion ezines available on the net. We totally agree with them... with one exception. In their humility,
they didn't include their own newsletter, which should definitely be there! Added Jan 2002.

The Bandit A&R
Newsletter
Bandit is a monthly publication (in business for nearly 20 years)
designed
to help musicians target their demos and press kits to music businesses
(labels, publishers, managers and producers) that are actively searching for
new talent. Every month, the newsletters feature 30 companies, in the UK,
the US and around the world, the information in the newsletter coming
directly from the people named, immediately prior to publication, to ensure
the highest possible accuracy. The newsletter is $18 (US) per month, or less
if paid quarter or yearly and based on the testimonials, a very good
investment. A free
sample copy of the newsletter is available by
sending
an email to bandit.196@aweber.com. Updated 05/29/2007.
The Bards Crier
This highly recommended, free guerrilla music marketing ezine
for the working musician comes from Marc Gunn, a working musician himself. The newsletter contains some fantastic
articles about promoting your music, both online and at performances. The Crier also includes reviews of music
biz books, as well as worthwhile freebies on the net. Updated 07/28/2005.
The Celebrity Cafe
While not exactly offering services to musicians, the 'Celebrity Cafe' is a great place to go to hear from the
"voice of experience." The site features tons of interviews from celebrities of all walks of life; music,
sports, film, supermodels, record producers and much more. You'll find interviews here with a number of top bands
and artists which will be of interest to musicians. Some examples; Milla Jovovich, Ike Turner, Blues Traveler,
Extreme and more. The Celebrity Cafe will also review your CD for their web site. Updated 05/03/2002.
Digital
Music News 
This
has been my favorite ezine of
late, with news sent out every
day as it related to the digital
music industry. Sign up for
the free newsletter and stay
right on top of new technologies
as they are happening. Added
07/28/2005.

for years, and they have consistently stayed true to their purpose - promoting independent guitar music on the
Internet

on the music business from a
guitarists perspective. Updated 04/07/2005.
