Charming Disaster has booked over 200 shows across the country over the past few years, and Indie on the Move's searchable venue database is an important part of our toolkit for researching new places to play. (Less reliable sources: scrying crystal, dowsing rods, Ouija board). IOTM helps us target places that seem like they'd be a good fit, and being able to access contact info for bookers has made the Premium Plan well worth the subscription. Now we can focus less on finding places to play and more on preparing for our shows: what to play, what to wear, and what snacks to bring with us.

The Do It Together tour package was easy to setup the initial contact with key markets I wanted to break into. I was surprised at how quickly and easily the process was and the venues fast responses. If anyone is thinking about touring or playing live music and is overwhelmed at the thought, trust me I know how you feel and there is help. IOTM provides not only awesome booking services but all types of resources to help you grow your brand! Amazing job all and I will be using IOTM for all my touring needs, its the perfect website for indie touring!
IOTM has been amazing at helping me get started with my tour! I already have two bookings in Tennessee at super nice venues. Looking forward to what's to come next on my tour.

Kyle has been huge for me as far as booking dates and getting my foot in the door at venues. I would recommend the Do-It-Together Tour Booking Experience for any indie artist who is starting out on their own. Kyle helped me get my EPK into shape, and really helped direct me in the right way. Learning the ropes is hard for any upcoming indie artist, and I can't say enough about how much Kyle and Indie On The Move have helped me progress. This is a great asset for any indie artist. - Brent

I released an rocked-out-rodeo song called "I'm Alive"(listen at wolfbraxton.hearnow.com). I contacted and submitted songs to the radio stations listed on IOTM. Several of them got back with me! One station even asked if I would do a live show for them when I'm in the area! An awesome recording + great IOTM contacts = SUCCESS.

We have toured and booked shows on our own before. It’s stressful, daunting, and there is no shortage of rejection. Kyle has been our guy since our initial inquiry. We did our consultation and he laid everything out, and makes sure you know what your getting. He is super thorough. He critiqued our online presence for us, and really let us know what we needed to clean up on our site to get the best EPK. He really cleaned up our booking pitch as well. We decided to do their “DIT” tour booking as well. We chose 10 markets. He mocked up a route. We okayed it and Kyle did all the leg work. We didn’t have to wait long for results. We booked all our shows on that route in less than a week! IOTM makes things smooth and seamless, and offers so many opportunities. Can’t wait to use their services again!

Trying to book shows for a new band in a new part of the country is such an incredibly difficult and daunting task. I’ve seen the stress that it causes contribute to the breakup of the entire band. I was standing at what seemed like the bottom of this insurmountable mountain and that is when I found Indie On The Move. Indie On The Move was able to get me over that first hurdle and into booking a bunch of shows. The consultation covered everything from our web presence, our goals, and most importantly our opening pitch. They streamline the process of sending out the pitch emails freeing me up from having to copy paste emails to 100 different venues and more time to work on the music! I will be using Indie On The Move for the foreseeable future and I would 100% recommend using the Do-It-Together service to any band that is serious about hitting the road!

I have been using Indie on the Move the past year for booking purposes, and I have loved it so much! The phone consultation is really helpful, and they make sure that you are getting what you want out of their services. They will go over every step with you, and make sure that what they send to the venues is how you want to be portrayed. They do an awesome job at presenting you as an artist to the booking agent of the venue. It has worked for me every time, and I have always gotten several gigs from using Indie on the Move, usually my best gigs have come from them! I cannot recommend this service enough!

"Working with Kyle and Indie on the Move to book my first tour enabled me to tighten and strengthen my pitch email and EPK, gain invaluable insight on the process of booking and shaping a tour, and submit to hundreds of venues in multiple markets in a quick and fully seamless manner. Utilizing their Do It Together service saved me from spending endless hours researching then submitting to each venue individually. Kyle is a true professional; he has a vast knowledge of the industry and a straightforward, supportive communication style. IOTM’s rates are affordable, their customer service is consistently impressive, and they have created an essential, much needed resource in their venue database. A full on no-brainer. Highly recommend." Kimberly Townsend Soul Folk Singer/Songwriter

I can't say enough positive things about IOTM. As an independent, DIY musician, I've used IOTM numerous times when booking tours. It makes great connections with solid venues and musicians that actually care about music. Through IOTM we've found venues that we would've never found on our own. One of our favorite venues we found through IOTM was a small house in the middle of Texas that not only paid us, but they had a great sound system and engineer, live streamed the show, fed us and gave us a bed in a super cool, old victorian house! So much work goes into setting up a successful tour, it's great to have such a beneficial resource available that helps let you focus on the fun instead of the work. ~Shea Manager, Rocker, Mom, Teacher, etc
