ABOUT MUSIC CONNECTION

About Music Connection

Published since 1977, Music Connection magazine is a monthly music trade publication catering to musicians, industry pro’s, and support services. Music Connection exists to serve artists and music people, to offer connections to the unconnected and to provide exclusive information that can help our readers take their music to the next level. From its unique vantage point, Music Connection magazine sets its sights on every aspect of the business, from decision-making in corporate towers to performing in small clubs. Whether offering expert tips on raw survival or the factors contributing to breakthrough success, Music Connection examines and defines the realities of music making. Founded on the principle of bridging the gap between “the street and the elite,” Music Connection has garnered a solid foundation of active readers with a broad appeal that encompasses the songwriter, publisher, producer, studio manager, agent, attorney, publicist, label executive and, of course, the professional and semi-pro musician. Music Connection never charges a fee for reviewing a band or its music. We value our integrity above all.
