Join us on April 27th via ZOOM for our program on “How to Get Radio Airplay for Your Songs”! Reminder: Lionel Young Had Four Instruments Stolen From his Car – Look Out for Them; GoFundMe set up | Musicians: How to Get Unemployment Benefits
.
We, at COMBO, are very concerned about all of our musician friends during the “learning” time about how to deal with the coronavirus or COVID-19. We know that many of you are totally out of work and have no income. We have previously listed paces to get financial help, and Alex Teitz continues to post sites in his Lead Sheet. Please be reminded that “This, too, shall pass”. Trust us – the bills will be there but they’ll eventually get paid and in a couple of years we’ll all have a ton of stories to pass on about this period in our lives. So take a few minutes to take a deep breath, say a prayer or two, and write a few songs! Who knows? One of them may bring in that extra money to get caught up on the bills! We LOVE you!
.
COMBO is about the “Business” of Music. Our mission is to teach musicians about the ins & outs of the music industry. We offer guidance and advice to help musicians advance their careers! Our articles represent some phase of music business that could effect musicians – all musicians – everywhere.
