Get Famous enough and Fans could actually be on tour to see you. Matin Contempree is driving this innovative concept with the Rock and Pop tours. The very first tour, 'Good Vibrations Tour of Los Angeles' is kicking off in April (2010). Offered is "the chance to delve behind the music industry: to hear the music live, taste the excitement and experience the iconic locations and famous venues where rock and pop history was created and still lives on".

You've performed many-a-times, rocked shows with 10 people in the crowed, rocked shows with thousands in attendance, but tonight for some odd reason you are experiencing an unexpected attack of stage fright. Professional Vocalist Judy Rodman touches on the two prime causes for uncharacteristic stage fright, and what you can do to prevent or defuse a sudden attack of nerves.

Long gone are the days of million dollar advances. Today only a fraction of a fraction of that number is needed to finance and promote a new project. Just take a look at the NYC rock band Kill The Alarm, who recently rose $15,000 in 6 weeks by tapping into their social network and email lists. If fan funding is something that peaks your interest then you might want to take a deeper look at Kickstarter.com.

I've been hearing some chatter recently about underground music going the way of the "black guy mohawk"-out the door. one definition of Underground music is music that refers to a variety of post-1960s rock, pop, or dance subgenres that developed a cult following despite their lack of mainstream. Even though music can't hide from the internet I still believe that because of the pressures put on todays bloggers and DJs to "play for pay" or "go where the money is" that underground music can still live and thrive and evolve on the internet. Hopefully we can help increase the underground network by strengthening long distance ties between musicians and their fans. Everyone is now the underground musician. Music will go back to its purest form where the main inspiration for doing it is the love and the respect.

Rolling Stone magazine credits woodstock for pulling off the ultimate magic act of the 1960's; turnign rain-soaked chaos into the greatest music festival ever! Paula Perry has just posted a little history gem for all you rockers out there. 40 Years of Woodstock in retrospect.

I can honestly say that watching well over 2 hours of 2010 grammy broadcast actually made me feel a little bit out of touch with todays mainstream music. Gone, was the incredible feeling of wanting to be apart of the celebration, replaced with skepticism and doubt. Was it just me or in a night full of elaborate duets in which the spectacle overshadowed the performance, did it seem like the Grammys were doing a bit too much, for a bit too long? Trent Reznor of the Ninie Inch Nails summed up the Grammys nicely in one tweet "Grammy asshole weekend in LA. Yuck..."

As someone dies, someone else is born. I'm sure by now you've heard the big news. Aerosmith is now looking for a new lead singer. 50 years later, Steven Tyler, lead singer of Aerosmith has decided to pursue a solo career. The announcement follows an interview that the band's frontman, Steven Tyler, gave to a British music magazine in which he said he was interested in "working on the brand of myself - Brand Tyler." If you've always wanted to be a part of the legendary rock group now might be your chance. I have no clue on how the band is preparing to fill the lead singer gap, but in todays media centric world, i'm betting either world wide auditions or a reality show. All i'm saying is be prepared, thats all.
