Planners Designed for Indie Performers

SAN DIEGO - April 28, 2015 - PRLog -- Musicians with the backing of a record label will have people in charge of royalties, distribution, logistics, social media, etc. For indie musicians all that responsibility will fall on their shoulders. A series of planners have been created in order to help musicians take control of their finances.

The Tour planner provides a pre-tour section that will help focus the planning efforts and sections for 30 shows with the details from each show and each city.

The Gig Planner is meant for the revenue and expenses musicians will have month to month. Plus sections for 30 shows performed in their own city or nearby cities, but that would not be considered a tour.

Finally, on the other side of the coin there is the Booking Planner, which will help local promoters who organize the shows. The needs will be different and the Planner will reflect that with different sections including details for each show.

The series of Planners have been in development for several months with direct input from bands and promoters. The prevalent comment has been the importance of the different Merch Inventory lists and the fact that each show has its own section making it easy to keep details as historical information.

In order to take this project to the next level, a Kickstarter campaign has started with a reward system that will allow the majority of musicians to get their hands on at least one of the planners with a contribution as small as $1.00.
