They would point to the lack of talent on modern radio stations as evidence. They have come to the realization that there must be a game plan for building their musical success exclusive of musical talent that they are somehow overlooking. We believe that there is a game plan, and for the band that follows it, the likelyhood of success is much greater. But it can be very elusive for the local or regional band to lock onto that game plan and run it. It is extremely difficult to even hear your own band fully when you are on stage concentrating on playing, let alone figure out the rough spots to work on.

They will work to professionally develop the new band in order to protect their investment and to help the band be successful. Successful bands that want to remain successful recognize the importance of these people, and use them to the fullest. That's so you might actually have a chance of being successful to begin with. The good news is that there is a game plan, and for those follks who are ready, we can help teach and implement the game plan with our clients. We do this in part through individual and group coaching, and through our relationship with Conncept - The Hartford Music Coalition.
