Between the pandemic & an accident that took me out for almost 11 months, my band was nearly DOA. When things got back on track, we found booking ourselves to be nearly impossible. Enter IOTM, who I had worked with before the pandemic. I reached out to Kyle & the team, and with their help we finally moved things in the right direction. They helped me refine my pitch, helped me decide how to follow up, and how to even let some venues down gently. We cleaned up my web site and the bands social media was given a more consistent look & feel across the various platforms with their input. Many of the people I worked with at the various venues pre-pandemic were gone, and the long delay in performing due to my accident meant we were almost starting from scratch. I didn't want to give the new bookers the impression we were a new band, so Kyle & the team helped me craft a message that emphasized our legacy and history. We managed to fill nearly every open date with the help of IOTM, and I'm certain the techniques we picked up from them will serve us very well with future bookings. I was a full-time musician many years ago and had a booking agent back then. I took some years off to focus on my young family, and when I came back the industry had changed a LOT, and I found myself having to do many things, such as bookings, PR, etc., that someone else had handled in the old days. IOTM definitely helped me learn how to improve my bookings game, and the band & I truly appreciate them!
https://www.indieonthemove.com/users/ClarkColbornIndie on the Move has been vital to my tour planning over the years - both with my band Moon Letters, and as a solo performer. it's amazing to be part of a community of touring artists, being able to find the right venue at the right stage of your career. Much love to you folks!
https://www.indieonthemove.com/users/autumnelectricIOTM is one of the most valuable tools in any independent artist's toolbox. Booking a great lakes mini-tour last year just wouldn't have been possible for me without Kyle's invaluable dedication, intelligence and consistency. I started out running last year with an artist consultation session. It was groundbreaking and career-altering. I highly recommend starting there. It well worth the time and investment, and I'm still using what I learned to help hone my online presence. Throughout the year, Kyle continued to lend his vast knowledge and expertise to my efforts, promptly responding to my questions and concerns, and helping to navigate incrementally towards what truly felt like was our shared goal. IOTM really helped take the complexity and uncertainty out of the whole booking process for me. Knowing what I know now, I'm extra grateful, because Kyle's assistance was clearly what made the difference between me successfully booking a hometown gig and a mini-tour, and completely missing the boat. He was able to not only get me on the road to play gigs in the most ideal venues for me, but also help me completely revamp, professionalize, streamline and properly plan out and execute my pitching approach and follow-ups. Indie on the Move. Don't leave home without it!
https://www.indieonthemove.com/users/graybeatThanks to Kristen and the IOTM booking wizards, we've had a ton of success getting responses from venues that have turned into booked gigs! Truly appreciated the assistance and vote of confidence.
https://www.indieonthemove.com/users/hope-macgregorIOTM helped Mak Daddy Revue book multiple gigs in the Midwest and our hometown of Louisville, KY. They were prompt, professional and friendly. IOTM also trained us for how to introduce ourselves to new clubs resulting in repeat gigs. We could not more highly recommend their services for any indie band in search of quality gigs at reputable clubs. Great service, great people and best of all...proven results. Rock on IOTM!
https://www.indieonthemove.com/users/MakDaddyRevueIndie On The Move has greatly helped our touring endeavors. We were able to independently book a Midwest Tour, and followed that up with some East Coast dates. QuickPitch is what I found to be most helpful as well as the relevant info listed on each venue!
https://www.indieonthemove.com/users/horrormoviesinthemorningHello, my name is Blaq$Money, a hip-hop artist currently based in Pennsylvania. I discovered IOTM (Indie on the Move) six months ago and, after reading countless testimonials and researching the artists, I finally committed in September. As an independent artist, I’m always cautious about scams and broken promises, but IOTM has been different—it delivers results. My biggest goals include generating income through shows, reaching real audiences (not just streams), and building a base of 1,000 supporters. Kristen, my IOTM rep, gave me a clear, step-by-step guide to structure my career, specifically as a hip-hop artist, with no pressure or upselling. Now, I’m setting up a 9-market tour from January to March 2025, and within just 30 days, I’ve locked in 6 of 16 dates with real venues. For indie artists, IOTM is invaluable; use it strategically, stay focused, and set your goals to make your dreams real!
https://www.indieonthemove.com/users/DJBMONEY"Thanks to IOTM, I have been able to complete a streamline search of finding direct contacts for venue bookers across NYC! As an independent artist, having accessibility to IOTM's platform is crucial in order for me to strategically plan for current and upcoming shows at venues that I'd like to perform."
https://www.indieonthemove.com/users/milliegibsonAfter playing in local and touring bands for 20 years, I finally decided to go the solo route but was having difficulty breaking into outside markets as a solo act. While I had used Indie on the Move’s Premium service to book tours with my previous band, not having name recognition in my new project proved difficult when it came to booking tours. I decided to try the Pro Services and am so glad I did. The initial consultation process was exactly what I needed. Working with Josh, he helped me tighten up my website and socials which really went a long way in presenting a more professional sheen. I then worked with Kyle who guided me through the booking process, providing insights on routing, market options and more. Next thing I knew I had a West Coast Tour on the books for an affordable price. The Indie on the Move team is truly looking out for independent artists and I’m here for it.
https://www.indieonthemove.com/users/Nate.ToddThe members of Poppy Roscoe have been using IOTM for years in different bands, and IOTM has always been a professional, reliable source for discovering and sourcing new venues and artists alike. IOTM’s Do-It-Together (DIT) model is not only an excellent deal for the price, it’s also proved to be an invaluable asset for Poppy Roscoe to book larger and more involved shows, both locally and nationally. The IOTM staff has been incredibly helpful throughout the venue/band booking process for our most recent tour, and have gone above and beyond to help with market outreach in all facets. IOTM has truly been an indispensable resource in helping Poppy Roscoe take the next steps in growing our band and expanding on our musical journey. Whether you’re a seasoned band or just starting out as an indie artist, IOTM has the expertise and knowledge to connect you with the touring world! Poppy Roscoe would like to extend a sincere thank you to everyone at IOTM, and wish the best of luck to all the musicians partnering with IOTM! -Poppy Roscoe
