COMBO is about the “Business” of Music. Our mission is to teach musicians about the ins & outs of the music industry. We, as such, do not “promote” music but we do! In other words, we are not promoters like Live Nation or AEG but rather the behind-the-scenes people who help musicians to advance their careers! Our articles represent some phase of music business that could effect musicians – all musicians – everywhere.
