I just wanted to write and let you know how helpful this site has been to me as a musician. Solo and with the Kristen Ford Band I have played close to 200 shows a year since 2000. Last year I was on tour for 2 and a half months straight, this year I have been on the road constantly on the weekends and working on 3 months of touring. Since 2011 I have sold roughly 1,500 records on the road. It means the world to me- thank you! Kristen [url=http://www.kristenfordmusic.com]http://www.kristenfordmusic.com[/url]

[b]IndieOnTheMove[/b] has been [b]Scorpion Child's[/b] most valuable resource as an indie band. We have booked over 120 shows in 2012 via [b]IOTM[/b] and it's allowed us to finally support ourselves as a full-time working band. We love you [b]IOTM[/b]!

Hey, this is Jesse from Chicago band JET W. LEE ([url=http://www.jetwleeband.com]http://www.jetwleeband.com[/url]). We recently released our 2nd LP called Western Nightmare and decided to quit our jobs and really go for it supporting ourselves through music. We've already toured all of Sept. and will have played most of the lower 48 by the end of December. Right now we do all of our own booking and I'm honestly not sure we'd be able to do that without Indie on the Move. It seems like such an obvious idea to have an updated venue/band list on the internet but NO ONE else has done it like you guys. The sheer amount of time we have saved by not having to always scroll through facebook or myspace pages is IMMENSE. Plus those sites don't really have a good way to search by location so that makes it worse. One of the coolest things about IOTM, in our opinion, is the email notifications for new gig availabilities. This past month we've been able to fill 2 open dates on our tour because we got an email a few days in advance. Pretty awesome! Anyone who is touring a decent amount knows what a hassle booking is. IOTM makes it a little easier to chase down that dream, and for that we thank you!! Jesse JET W. LEE jesse@jetwleeband.com [url=http://www.jetwleeband.com]http://www.jetwleeband.com[/url]

I'm a singer/songwriter from Asheville, NC and decided to take my music on the road full-time last January. Over the last nine months then I've played over 130 shows at over 70 different venues from Florida to Ohio. Constant traveling and booking shows at the same can be more than a little daunting, but IOTM has proven an invaluable resource in this respect. The vast majority of the shows that I book are from the IOTM database and I don't know what I'd do without it! Thanks to IOTM for helping DIY artists such as myself follow their dreams!

I'm a Swedish singer/songwriter on a two year tour throghout the USA and I'm using IOTM all the time to find venues and booking contacts. I don't even know how many of the venues I've played so far has been through IOTM, but probably 70% at least! In 9 months I've played about 150 shows in 31 states and right now I'm booking for next year. It's been quite the adventure as well as a great way to introduce my music and my new album The Owls Are Not What They Seem to the US market. Just a few years ago it would have been so much harder to do a tour like this, and IOTM is such a big part of making it easier for artists to get on the road! /Sofia [url=http://music.sofiatalvik.com]http://music.sofiatalvik.com[/url]

The site is amazing. Our indie pop/rock band from Seattle, WA by the name of Yusif! (solo artist with a backing band) recently booked a successful west coast tour this summer (yusifmusic.com) We played 18 shows in 20 days and we *almost* broke even! We played from Seattle to LA and back, and we booked 15 out of the 18 shows using resources we found at IOTM, by phone or email. The site is amazing. We are heading out this October as an acoustic duo, on a full national tour from Seattle to Chicago, NYC, Nashville, Atlanta, Orlando, Austin, everywhere in between, and back to Seattle. We already have over 25 dates booked, some of which are good paying gigs. Before IOTM we only played locally and played shitty pay-to-play gigs around Seattle. Your website has helped us broaden our sense of what it is to be a working band in America, and what it means to perform for a live audience. Since discovering IOTM we've tripled our event history, we've gone from playing 10 shows a year to 5 shows a week. It's hard work, and we're still working to discover our identity in the market, and I can plainly say that these tours would not have happened without IOTM. Honestly I can't believe this service is free. It's like a wikipedia for musicians. Please don't ever change that guys! Bands like us that are just starting out need resources like this. We can't afford to buy Billboard guides, and frankly they are redundant, since IOTM keeps the details up to date and informs us of the latest breaking news. It's important to us to contribute back to people and groups that contribute to us, and IOTM has contributed so much to us just by existing! Anyways, I could go on forever about how great of an impact this site has had on our musical project and careers. Suffice it to say thank you IOTM, and please, keep doing what you're doing. Thank you. -Yusif booking@yusifmusic.com [url=http://www.yusifmusic.com]http://www.yusifmusic.com[/url]
My band Xombie was putting together this incredibly detailed Google document of every promoter and venue we worked with or wanted to work with. Then I found IOTM and realized I had been completely wasting my time! IOTM has everything we needed. IOTM has helped us book countless shows, get in touch with a few media contacts, and has helped make our tour a reality. Thank you very much -Xombie

The LC's have been around for 2 years and have always used IOTM to book shows on a national and regional basis. We don't know how IOTM does it, but they attract a very professional and responsive set of bar and club owners and bookers....rare in this biz! The knowledge base, contact lists and helpful tips and information that are found here can't be duplicated....at least not that we've seen, and believe us, we've seen em all. Keep up the outstanding work IOTM crew! The Legendary Clampetts [url=http://www.thelegendaryclampetts.com]http://www.thelegendaryclampetts.com[/url]
