Variations on a Theme: Perspectives on Fan Relationships
by Brian Camelio
Something I've learned since starting ArtistShare is that the new “music business" is not so much a business but a platform for creating bonds between the artist and the fan. From that bond, fans will show their appreciation for the music in various ways which may include a purchase of some kind but also may not. ...

by Eugene Holley, Jr.
The jazz world hasn't been the same ever since the twenty-something Esperanza Spalding--the Oregon-born, Texas-based bassist/singer/composer/educator--burst on the scene at the change of the century.

The biggest surprise of all is the Japanese repertoire, with which she rounds ...
