It is great to have such a great resource on hand for all of those indie artists and fans. Indie on the Move provides great information about venues, gigs, working in the business, promoting your band, etc. It is great to have such a viable connection into the world of indie music. Anyone who is looking for information on how to better yourself as an indie artist should check out Indie on the Move!
https://www.indieonthemove.com/users/mderee04803I front a folk-rock band called Joshua Powell & the Great Train Robbery - we've been at it for two years now, but only just made it a full-time endeavor this summer. As the engine behind the band, I've worked tirelessly to learn the necessary entrepreneurial and administrative to make touring a sustainable lifestyle. It's difficult for me to imagine what booking would be like without this super-powered database. It's totally anti-establishment in the way that it cuts out the middle men and puts the power in the artists' hands. It's almost the DIY ethos, but even better, it encourages artists and industry folks to do it together. If you can combine your drive with a good calendar system, Indie on the Move can help catalyze the Kerouacian life that most people never get past dreaming.
https://www.indieonthemove.com/users/joshuapowellHi Guys and Gals, We are Manamana. We are a nationally touring rock band that left everything of our "normal" lives behind to chase our dreams of playing our music across the country. Doing what we have set out to do would have been nothing more than a 'pipe dream' without Indie On The Move. Plain and simple, and here's why: This is more than your average database of venues/clubs from around the nation. Oh no, far from it: IOTM gives you the proper contact info from state to state (big city to small town back to big city) to book your show(s). Then this website encourages you to reach out to other bands across the country to play with on your booked shows, AND then, offers you the proper contact info to successfully promote the show via press and radio. Before you know it you've booked yourself a nifty little (or huge) tour! It happened that way for Manamana and the best thing, my friends, it's all FREE! Manamana can't express enough just how fortunate we feel to have found this awesome website. Every chance we get to tell a fellow musician, booking agent, etc. about Indie On The Move we take. It's nice to know there are still people out there who are truly dedicated to helping the struggling musician find his/her path and for that Manamana says: THANK YOU!
SwizzleSteve Presents recently started booking shows at Mothers and Indie on the Move has helped us tremendously with finding talent and promoting our shows. Thank you!

For being a completely independent band, IOTM has allowed us to book full time with quality shows. Thank You!!!! [url=http://www.facebook.com/deadhorseswi]http://www.facebook.com/deadhorseswi[/url]
https://www.indieonthemove.com/users/deadhorsesIndie on the move has been my first stop for touring planning for years. Now with the Press and Radio listings, my first stop for promotion too. I can't think of being a musician without you. Thanks.
https://www.indieonthemove.com/users/thechrisbellBeen touring for a living, full time for 5 years. Since IOTM launched, life is different. It's easier. To have one place to go to as a central, reliable resource for all things touring, to be able to network with other musician on and off the road, have details on every city, every venue worth its salt and how to contact them is priceless. The forums are amazing, the site is easy to use and it has opened countless doors for my team and I over the past few years. I constantly run into other artists and venue owners that echo my sentiments. THANK YOU so much to the IOTM staff for giving us this amazing gift. Can't wait to be able to pay you all back someday.

https://www.indieonthemove.com/users/marbinTo Whom It May Concern, Bryce "The Govna" Graves here of the world's greatest and largest touring Circus Variety Show, Hellzapoppin Circus SideShow Revue. I discovered IOTM back in 2011 and since have used it to book all our US club tours. Being that we're not a band, there are very few entertainment booking agencies who secure shows for Artists like ours. In order for Hellzapoppin to succeed and grow we must book and manage all our own shows and thanks to IOTM we have been able to do so. Before Hellzapoppin my background was 12 years in artist/talent management and booking. I would have killed to have a service like that of IOTM back then. For many years I consulted with independent artists free of charge. I love and support indie music and traveled the country sitting on various music industry panels. My goal during that time period was to help as many independent artists as I possibly could so I created what was once the world's largest Independent Mobile Phone Content Distribution Company, GroupieTunes. GroupieTunes was the very first company in the world to offer independent artists their very own ringtones, digital distribution, management and booking tips, etc. We signed over 100,000 independent bands and artists in our first year. Needless to say the company was eventually bought out by competitors and the later closed. Indieonthemove is a force to be reckoned with! You can do wonderful things with this service. Take it from me an independent music industry professional; I highly recommend that every Independent Artist take advantage of this amazing service.
