One of the greatest challenges you face as an artist/music entrepreneur is to make yourself stand out and be heard. No matter where you are in your career, we'll supply you with the critical contacts, tools, information and opportunities you need to achieve the "long tail" career; and connect you with the right people and opportunities that will pave the way towards greater independence and success.

Regarded as the most accurate and comprehensive contact and networking directory available, the fully updated, 8th edition of The Musician’s Atlas brings together the most qualified, detailed industry listings in more than 25 essential music business categories.

Unlike any other directory, each listing Atlas has been contacted and qualified so you get the information you need to succeed in this competitive music marketplace. The 2006 edition includes 100s of new performance, promotion, distribution and marketing opportunities plus new contacts for music contests, CD compilations and US & Int’l tours.

And in this edition you’ll find other important career opportunities.

In the centerfold, you’ll meet the winners of this year’s Independent Music Awards – a program we developed to help talented Indie musicians get heard above the noise. Along with our sponsoring partners that include Borders Books & Music, radio promoters, The Planetary Group and Mediaguide the radio tracking service, the IMAs’ helps artists get recognized, get airplay, increase CD sales and other critical opportunities. Go to www.MusiciansAtlas.com to learn more about these talented artists and what the IMAs might do for your career.

Also, look for the special address running along the bottom of pages in the expanded Conference/Festival section that will enable you to move your promo pack from the bottom of the pile and create a Sonicbids EPK™ (Electronic Press Kit) –at a discount of course - to send to hundreds of US & Int’l talent buyers.
