Nine Mistakes Most Bands Make During Their Careers

Everyone makes mistakes. It’s part of life, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

But, sometimes it’s easier to learn from the mistakes someone else made rather than finding out the hard way on your own. Right?

What you’ll learn:

  • How to avoid 9 major mistakes too many artists make
  • Why you need to release some music
  • How to book shows without shooting yourself in the foot
  • What to do when someone in the band is angry about a situation
  • How to take care of your gear
  • Why you and your band should be on the same page at all times
  • How to avoid burnout in a band
  • How to pick the right band members (hint: it’s not purely by musical ability)
