Tom’s book, Tom Jackson’s Live Music Method – All Roads Lead to the Stage, is off to print this week, and it won’t be long before it can be in your hands! (In fact, be watching for a pre-order Special Savings coming soon.)
Expected shipping date on this new hardback publication is July 24, 2012.
The 440-page textbook includes Sections on The Madness Behind the Method, Planning Your Success Onstage, A Good Foundation, Materials Tool & Skills, Pouring Yourself Into Your Show, and Live Music Business Principles.
With a foreword by Derek Sivers (founder of CD Baby), and a final Jaxicon (Tom’s lexicon of terms for his Method), the work is a complete “how-to” of making your live show the connection point to gain True Fans, and the focal point of your music business.
Reviews that have come in so far are excellent:
“A compelling live performance is key to building a successful career. Tom is the only person teaching artists real actionable steps to turn their live show into something that builds fans and drives merch sales. If you perform live, you should read this book!” Kevin Breuner, Director of Marketing at CD Baby
Not only will this book be a great resource for artists (both indie and major), but it’s being reviewed by colleges as a potential textbook, and has already been accepted by South Plains College in Texas as part of their curriculum:
“Tom Jackson shines light on a subject that too many musi- cians overlook. This book is not merely good information; it is a solid business plan for the aspiring musician.” Wade McNutt, Instructor in Commercial Music
Even music industry managers and labels are recommending Tom’s teaching to everyone:
“As the music business shifts importance from records to live shows, Tom Jackson’s no-nonsense, spot-on live perform- ance advice is no longer optional … it is mandatory. Seeing a performance from the point of view of a non-fan with the objective of turning them into real fans is the genius of Tom Jackson.” Tom Silverman, New Music Seminar & TommY BoY (Everlast, Queen Latifah)
Congratulations, Tom and team, for your hard work on getting this book into the hands of the music industry!
