IOTM was major asset to me while booking my first solo tour around the Southeastern region. Without them it would have been tough! They helped me come up with a route in the areas I've never been before and also made sure I was connecting with the most fitting venues for my music. They are also always there when you need them! I recommend using IOTM for your next tour!
https://www.indieonthemove.com/users/RebeccaperlmusicIf you're a serious musician and ready to start booking your own tours, Kyle and the DIT tour campaign is well worth it. Not only are you paying for someone to do all of the grunt work for you but professional career advice, professional pitch you can build on throughout your career and more knowledge on how the business works. I can say this was a huge step forward in my career.
https://www.indieonthemove.com/users/WheatleyIn this industry, you rarely get what you paid for, but if you use IOTM's services, you get more than what you've paid for because it lasts long after the service is completed, trust me! Our experience with Kyle has been great! He's professional, to the point and knows exactly what he is talking about! Because of him, we have been able to book several gigs, and to this day, we are still getting offers! Prior to using his service, we wouldn't get one response back using our pitch...after he revised our pitch, website, etc, our response rate has been through the roof! Thanks so much Kyle!
https://www.indieonthemove.com/users/Pink_StaircaseIn the last few years IOTM has been a main tool in our tour booking, it has allowed us to build and establish ourselves as a nationally touring band. We are very appreciative and thankful to the people working to make this website such a great resource for the independent and free spirited. Power to the people!!! xox Hank & Cupcakes
https://www.indieonthemove.com/users/hankandcupcakesI was skeptical that I'd get any real help from IOTM - especially without a lot of money spent. I've tried Reverbnation and their booking tools, and never even received one response! And I should mention, we are and have been a full-time, nationally touring act for years! So I'm sure plenty have never heard of us, but I know at least some of the clubs on Reverbnation's list had, and still, we heard nothing. Anyway, less than one week on IOTM, and we got our first gig strictly due to this site's resources! - and I didn't have to do anything! I received an email from IOTM about a club needing an act, we happened to have that date free, and BOOM! Done deal! Thanks Indie on the Move! Now I trust, and will be more likely to accept offers and ideas solicited from this site...
https://www.indieonthemove.com/users/NotQuiteGNRThe DIT route has been a great way for us to branch out into other markets, find shows, and develop relationships with booking agents. Kyle took his time to work with us to learn about the band and understand our needs. Once the campaign started, the show offers started coming in immediately. It was great working with him - I highly recommend IOTM for booking shows.
https://www.indieonthemove.com/users/jmondickI'm glad I came across IOTM & found out a lot of great stuff especially DIT. Kyle gave me some really good advice, tips and tricks as an indie musician. Thank you IOTM!
https://www.indieonthemove.com/users/tadeomanHi all! This is the band SIRSY from NY. We tour for a living. So we play a lot of shows. And we've been doing that for a decade. We're pretty experienced when it comes to booking ourselves successfully (250+ shows per year, nationally). So, we were skeptical that Kyle and IOTM could help... but we have to tell you-- IOTM was a BIG HELP! There are some tough or new markets for us where we couldn't get a gig or even a response from clubs. The IOTM email worked so great we started calling it the "MAGIC EMAIL". Now we send all our musician friends and bands we meet on the road to IOTM for help. Seriously... they're great. And Kyle is super easy to work with and gets right back to you! Try it!!
https://www.indieonthemove.com/users/SIRSYWe couldn't have asked for a better experience working with Kyle and all the folks at IOTM. Thanks!
https://www.indieonthemove.com/users/SinnersandSaintsI got the DIT service from Kyle for my duo Layers And Frames (layersandframes.com) and it was super helpful for booking our summer tour. First I did a phone consultation with Kyle during which he gave me some great pointers. Then, based on the phone call, Kyle wrote a booking pitch that was both concise and effective. He also helped me route the tour in a way that was logical, taking into account our location, time frame, etc. The week after the pitches went out, I literally received hundreds of replies; more than I could reply too in a timely fashion. I was quite happy with that "problem." Thus DIT was essential to booking our tour. It should be mentioned that most of the replies were declines for the reason of the pitch being too close to the desired date (about 2 months out). So that's the only thing I would have done differently. I would have done DIT at least 3-4 months before the first desired show date. Do keep that in mind. Thanks Kyle ;-)
