My band Lost In Society has been touring for 5 years, we average over 100 shows a year and 95% of them are booked through Indie On The Move. This is the most user friendly website there is out there for independent artists to network with venues and other bands. If you're in a band and you don't utilize this website then you're missing out big time. Thank you everyone at Indie On The Move for making my job so much easier, I honestly love you!

https://www.indieonthemove.com/index.php/users/lostinsocietynjIOTM has completely changed the game when it comes to touring! I've been touring for the past 14 years and remember what it was like before these fine gentlemen started this site. I recomend this site all the time to people that are thinking about booking their first tour. Forever grateful -Leonhardt
https://www.indieonthemove.com/index.php/users/leonhardtKyle and the IOTM team have proven to be an invaluable resource when it comes to booking and securing dates for touring. What I had worked on for months, Kyle accomplished within days...literally. I can't say enough about the IOTM team and this site. Thank you sooo much guys and I look forward to working with you all for years to come....Sincerely, SoBE LASH!
https://www.indieonthemove.com/index.php/users/Knives_outtSeriously. I don't think I could book my tour without ITOM. They're a one stop shop for independent artists. Booking contacts, band contacts, promo/press contacts, touring tips, quick pitch... I can get a weeks worth of work done in an afternoon! This should be the home page on the browser of every independent touring artist. Thanks Kyle, Jamie McDermott Booking Manager/Banjo Diamond Down String Band Flagstaff, Az
https://www.indieonthemove.com/index.php/users/DDSBI just wanted to let everyone know how pleased I am with the assistance I've received through IOTM's DIT Tour Booking Experience...I've done my own booking for smaller tours, but wanted to save some time and make sure I was being as effective as possible with my approach. Kyle has been an invaluable resource in helping me perfect my booking inquiry email, helping me route out a tour, and most importantly, in setting up the initial set of venues to approach and sending them the inquiries. The proof is in the pudding, and with his assistance through the DIT Tour Booking Experience, the response rate from clubs increased tremendously, which in turn minimized the number of holes in my schedule that I need to follow up on further. I've already booked nine shows, only a few weeks after he sent out the pitch letters to the clubs he identified for me. Previously, doing my own booking, and using a pitch letter I composed on my own, it took several emails, many phone calls, and months of time to book the same number of dates. Now if only it were easier to get appropriate local support on weeknights...:) IOTM has helped me here too -- their Availabilities feature is great. I'm just wishing more local acts were interested in playing weeknight gigs...but I do understand the issues involved...:) Nevertheless, I highly recommend IOTM and their DIT Tour Booking Experience -- it's a very cost-effective timesaver! -Scott
https://www.indieonthemove.com/index.php/users/sesmlsLike many of you all i'm about as indie/DIY as it comes. My manager Maurice and I have a ton on our plates when it comes to releasing new music and generally the most time consuming is booking shows. It's worth every dime to use IOTM pro services because the process of researching venues and subsequently pitching to them can be extremely time consuming and these guys take that off your hands so you can do the easy part which is getting to the responses and negotiate the deal. Are there drawbacks? Sure there is. If you're like me and you just wanna play shows you likely will have pitches sent out to A LOT of venues that may not be a good fit for your music but that said I have the luxury of being able to fly in dates so we can field offers from around the country and pick and choose the best ones. As of writing this, i've booked about 12 dates and If you go to my tour calendar i can assure you it's been booked using IOTM services and i've used every single one of them. We've used more expensive options like Pollstar's directory (which is still useful for international dates) but nothing beats the ease and cost effectiveness of IOTM pro services. And in comparison, one show even with a "decent" turnout pays for the services. [url=http://www.iamqdot.com]http://www.iamqdot.com[/url]
https://www.indieonthemove.com/index.php/users/PopUpI manage and book for an independent Southern Rock/Country artist here in Nashville. I've been using IOTM for venue research for over a year now, and it has been a huge help. Recently I decided to fine tune my sales pitch and come up with something eye catching and informative for venues that was clear and concise. I worked with an IOTM rep who walked me through my old pitch and helped me create something just what I was looking for...all for a small fee of $35. The first day I put the new and improved pitch together I booked a show in a new market I had been trying to break into. The percentage I'll make for booking that one show recoups the $35 spent for my consultation. I definitely recommend you use this service as it is helpful and super inexpensive for the results you'll see after putting your improved pitch together. -Chance-
https://www.indieonthemove.com/index.php/users/cmgray85IOTM has been a helpful resource in filling our tours with shows in all the markets we need to hit. Thanks to IOTM, we no longer deal with too many wasted days off or crazy drives!
https://www.indieonthemove.com/index.php/users/wildadriaticI spend a lot of time on IOTM. It has so many great resources from , venues, classifieds, festival, and articles that have all helped me build my career. It's easy to find bars and clubs, but on IOTM I can find out a lot more about the venues like, genre, size, and all that helps me see if I will be a good fit, that really saves me a lot of time! All of the contact info and booking info is right there in one place, and thats also a huge time saver! Thank you for such a great website for artists like myself and many others! Jason Wells
We use IOTM for everything. The list of venues is unmatched and it's one of the best tools out there for artists looking to get their name out and play shows. We've used it for all of our booking, including a recent 2 month tour of the Northeast US, and we continue to use it to find gigs to play, bands to play with, and venues to play at. I don't know where we would be as a band if we didn't have this site. As a band, the way we make money is to play shows and get more fans. Indie on the Move has helped us make a name for ourselves and bring our music to people, while making lasting relationships with new fans and new friends. Thanks IOTM for being awesome and helping us live our dream!
