I front a folk-rock band called Joshua Powell & the Great Train Robbery - we've been at it for two years now, but only just made it a full-time endeavor this summer. As the engine behind the band, I've worked tirelessly to learn the necessary entrepreneurial and administrative to make touring a sustainable lifestyle. It's difficult for me to imagine what booking would be like without this super-powered database. It's totally anti-establishment in the way that it cuts out the middle men and puts the power in the artists' hands. It's almost the DIY ethos, but even better, it encourages artists and industry folks to do it together. If you can combine your drive with a good calendar system, Indie on the Move can help catalyze the Kerouacian life that most people never get past dreaming.

SwizzleSteve Presents recently started booking shows at Mothers and Indie on the Move has helped us tremendously with finding talent and promoting our shows. Thank you!

When we decide where we want to tour, the first thing we do is log onto this site. For being a completely independent band, IOTM has allowed us to book full time with quality shows. Thank You!!!! [url=http://www.facebook.com/deadhorseswi]http://www.facebook.com/deadhorseswi[/url]

Indie on the move has been my first stop for touring planning for years. Now with the Press and Radio listings, my first stop for promotion too. I can't think of being a musician without you. Thanks.

To Whom It May Concern, Bryce "The Govna" Graves here of the world's greatest and largest touring Circus Variety Show, Hellzapoppin Circus SideShow Revue. I discovered IOTM back in 2011 and since have used it to book all our US club tours. Being that we're not a band, there are very few entertainment booking agencies who secure shows for Artists like ours. In order for Hellzapoppin to succeed and grow we must book and manage all our own shows and thanks to IOTM we have been able to do so. Before Hellzapoppin my background was 12 years in artist/talent management and booking. I would have killed to have a service like that of IOTM back then. For many years I consulted with independent artists free of charge. I love and support indie music and traveled the country sitting on various music industry panels. My goal during that time period was to help as many independent artists as I possibly could so I created what was once the world's largest Independent Mobile Phone Content Distribution Company, GroupieTunes. GroupieTunes was the very first company in the world to offer independent artists their very own ringtones, digital distribution, management and booking tips, etc. We signed over 100,000 independent bands and artists in our first year. Needless to say the company was eventually bought out by competitors and the later closed. Indieonthemove is a force to be reckoned with! You can do wonderful things with this service. Take it from me an independent music industry professional; I highly recommend that every Independent Artist take advantage of this amazing service.

There's nothing else out there like Indie On The Move. Not only is it the most extensive and accurate resource available, it's also free to use and constantly growing. IOTM helps from the beginning of the booking process all the way to filling that last minute date by connecting with it's users via notifications of new venues and show availability alerts. The venue reviews, written by touring musicians just like myself, have also proven to be extremely helpful: taken with a grain of salt they've helped prepare me for some of the situations that can arise from booking at a place you've never even seen. Since I quit my day job to play music full time in 2011, IOTM has been a primary factor in booking over 150 shows in 27 different states. Thanks for helping make my dreams come true! Keep up the great work!

This site has opened the door for us as a band...Indie on the Move has helped us finally find an efficient way to book shows and scout out new venues to grow our band. I hope every venue will sign up !

Hi Guys, It's Stacy from the band Finer. Just saying thank you in advance. I met Zelazowa when you came through Indianapolis many years back and followed you via myspace and have kept on eye on IOTM since. My husband and I sold our home and will be going on the road full time starting the end of January. We are going to use your site to help us. So thank you! We appreciate everything you have done. Sincerely, Stacy [url=http://www.finerband.com]http://www.finerband.com[/url]

One of the most unclear steps in booking your band is how to approach the venues. Some venues are very clear in how they want you to inquire about a gig and some are not. Venues often disregard emails that don't have the right subject line or just come across as unprofessional. IOTM made it that much more clear with their "Booking Tips" on how to approach each venue considering each one requires different information. In Addition, IOTM has made that much easier to find venues rather than sitting for hours just trying to find the venues that you may be able to book. This has saved our band so much time so we can focus on more important things, like playing music! Thanks IOTM and cheers! Forward Motion
