I've been using Indie on the Move for years as a resource to book local gigs, but it wasn't until I began to book my first tour that I discovered its full potential. I was only just considering planning a tour until Kyle (President of IOTM) gave me the tools and the confidence that I needed to move forward. He also took the time to help me with the initial routing of my tour and showed me the best way to present myself to booking agents in order to get them to buy what I was selling. I'm very thankful for Kyles help and for giving me that extra push that I needed to make this tour happen! IOTM is an invaluable resource for tour booking and I always recommend the site to my fellow musicians. I'm better at this side of the business for having used IOTM and will definitely use it for the next tour! Thank you Kyle and Indie on the Move! - Chnnll

If you're a hardworking independent musician like me, you are always looking to optimize your booking/touring process to save time and make more money. Since 2009, I've tried all kinds of different strategies for booking and touring: I've put together bands and booked tours through mass Craigslist posts and Google searches, I've lined up show bills through ReverbNation, heck I even dropped $200 bucks on a SonicBid account once (not worth it). And now, after having spent nearly a decade trying other inefficient methods that don't work reliably, I can say confidently that Indie On The Move does work, and it works very well. Since hitting the ground with a Pro IOTM account this January, I have booked 63 shows on a national circuit of my own design, and I have $4380 in guarantees on the books. I'm currently averaging $70/guarantee per show, and I'm well on my way to booking and playing over 130 shows for the year. Presuming I maintain my average fee and double my income with merch and tips, I'm looking at 18k for the year. If I can increase my average to $100 per gig—a challenging, but achievable goal—and double THAT, I'm looking at more like 26k. In short: my estimated income for this year. based solely on gigs booked through IOTM, is between 18 and 26k. It's not a lot. But for an unknown artist with no fanbase, it's enough to tour, to break into new markets, to get some attention from the press, and to start building the foundations of a successful business. Plus, not having a day job and living a life of travel and adventure on my own terms is a major perk. If you aspire to life as a touring musician and you've got the goods, Indie On The Move is the way to go. The folks who run the site have assembled an incredibly informative (and ever-growing) nation-wide database of talent buyers, performers, and venues, and with Pro access available for just $6.99/month ($69.90/year), it is literally the best and cheapest route to full-time touring as an independent artist available anywhere. Sign up for a Pro account today, you won't regret it.

Freak Mythology’s first time using the Indie On The Move tour routing service was an absolutely fantastic experience. Kyle is a professional in his field and was a pleasure to work with, as he did anything and everything in his power to help us. We received tips on every aspect of the music industry and everything in between, information that you couldn’t find with even the most extensive internet research. In a month with a quarter of the effort as your typical DIY approach, we booked a ~15 city tour of the midwest, something we don’t think would have been possible without their help. It’s the amazon prime of musicians, with benefits ranging from booking and venue contacts, the opportunity to build relationships with other bands across the country, and a massive database of just about every music festival, press outlet, and everything else out there. 5/5 stars, and we’ll definitely be using it again!

Indie On The Move is an invaluable resource to independent musicians that want to tour. Being from Southern California, I originally started using it to get more info on the venues around me since there are so many (especially here in Los Angeles / Orange counties). There are so many different types of venues, it would be hard to find out which ones are the best fit for your band if it weren't for IOTM! With a premium account, you can see all the important details (like age, capacity, genre) easily and even sort venues by what day of the week they have music! Not to mention there's a link directly to the venue website making it easy to find more information. After learning about all my local venues and reviewing many along the way, I started searching out-of-town venues and routed a few tours using IOTM to find venues to play in each town. Now it's my go-to for any tour I plan and I always recommend it to musicians I meet. I only wish more musicians took more time to review the venues they've worked with. Many venues have shows booked every night of the week, but only a handful of written reviews. But I do understand musicians just want to perform; Indie on the Move helps them do just that!

The database is great and it gets better all the time but the really great thing is the coaching. IOTM helps craft your pitch and advises you on how to set up your EPK for the best results. I booked 10 markets in less than a week!

I am THRILLED to be a part of IOTM! I have recently booked three shows through their incredible email blasts! I am excited about the other artists I have become connected with through their site as well. What an incredible resource of venues and opportunities. They are respected by all of the venues listed and their bookers. I have had such positive experience booking with them because of their reliability and eagerness to help independent artists. I am excited about my future with IOTM and am so grateful and thankful for EVERYTHING they do!

For all of 2016, my band Pocket Vinyl filmed everything we could about our lives on the road, and interviewed countless musicians we met along the way. We turned all that footage into a feature length DIY music documentary about the lives of small, full time touring bands. We played 138 shows in that time, and nearly all of them were booked with help from indieonthemove.com. There is no way we could have booked those tours and gotten the footage we needed for the film without the site. Plus, the co-founder Kyle was kind enough to be interviewed for the film and appears throughout it! Very sweet guy. In addition to all the music they make happen, IOTM has now helped small folks like us make a film. It's the website that keeps on giving.

I'm Wogan Woodard III, Better known Hip-Hop artist B. Right CEO of American Hip-Hop label "Music Influences The Soul Music Group". I came across IOTM in May of 2015 in search of a platform that would put the power of booking agents in my hands. Let me personally tell you they've never disappointed me. In fact IOTM has gone above and beyond my standards! I had the pleasure of working with a gentlemen named Kyle from IOTM. Kyle and I first spoke over the phone in 2015, putting together the perfect pitch tailored to me as an artist. He has always showed great professionalism and an sense of urgency when meeting my show requirements and ultimately helped me feel confident about working with IOTM all around. I now have a way to reach my growing fan base across the states on a consistent gigging bases sell merch and make a living out of a dream Interdependently. I owe a lot to IOTM and all the added resources they provide artists. If you're an artist reading this and are on the fence about working with ITOM. Take it from me, it'll be one of the best indie move you make to work with Indie On The Move.

IOTM is an empowering, one-of-a-kind tool that puts indie musicians in control of their touring. In the past year, we've played 136 shows in 79 different cities across 25 different states. As fully independent artists (no label or management), we rely on IOTM as our go-to tool for finding and booking gigs. - The Singer and The Songwriter (San Francisco, CA)

Don't hesitate to pull the trigger on a DIT marketing campaign if you're thinking about it. For about the price of a monthly metrocard, Kyle was able to help me get in touch with quality venues in the markets near my home city; I got a booking within a week of starting the campaign, and even landed my first radio interview! This was just the thing I needed to kick my touring into overdrive!
