Most musical artists know the best instruments and recording gear to acquire, rehearse a setlist of 50 original tunes, successfully pack a car and drive 200 miles to the next gig, then deliver a high-performance set of pure musical bliss. But after that, it’s all a black hole of fighting over money, songwriting credit and who owns the master recordings, bad management, unprofitable tours, not knowing how to release and promote new material, lawsuits for any one of a variety of reasons, unfiled tax returns and surprise tax audits, and dealing with the unexpected to keep from driving off the proverbial cliff. Join entertainment attorney Ron Bienstock and music industry accountant Alan Friedman in this updated and entertaining session to discover the biggest blunders made by virtually every musician and band, how to avoid these costly mistakes and how to make (and keep) the money you can generate from the various income streams available to all musical artists.
