Earwig knows how to hire excellent music managers

Career-Energizing Music Managers for Hire in Chicago

Alright, you’ve played a few jazz, blues or traditional folk music gigs, and maybe produced an album or two while building a small fan base, but now your career is spinning its wheels. As an independent artist, you’re good at writing music, performing and recording, but just can’t seem to get over the hump to the next career level. That’s where a music manager comes in; someone from an established and connected music management company that can provide some career-boosting industry insight. A good music career consultant acts as the rudder that gently steers your artistic “ship” in the right direction. For over 40 years, Chicago-based Earwig Music has been that rudder while steering the successful careers of many a jazz, blues and traditional folk talent, including solo artists and bands. Our music managers take on the day-to-day business management responsibilities of your music so that you can focus on playing gigs, writing music, recording music, and enjoying the money you’ve earned. For example, engaging your fans through social media in 2018 is a time-eater just in itself, and that’s merely one area among many where the independent music career consultants at Earwig Music can ease your burden while giving you a chance to create more music.
