Definition of a Guild:
A guild is an association of people of the same trade or pursuits, formed to protect mutual interests and maintain standards of morality or conduct. Historically they were small business associations, since each crafter was a self-employed individual artisan or part of a small craft shop or co-operative.

As a GUILD, The Music Menu acts as a RESOURCE TOOL for you, and asks you to respect all efforts as we do yours! Also, by being a part of a guild, understand you are part of a "Movement", and it is a team effort! Make it a point to help out other artists. It's our intention to fill in the gap for the off times that a band or musician has been incapable of booking. When collaborating together, much can be accomplished. Or if you are a band looking for direct booking, management, label shopping, The Music Menu has the resources for you.
The Music Menu is acting as your extra arms, legs, ears, time, and energy. Thus giving you the tools and direction needed to get yourself to the next level.
The Music Menu is about creating UNITY and a sense of COMMUNITY with the valley musicians, venues, as well as welcoming our brothers and sisters in music from the WoRLd to come to our playground. The Music Menu is moving on national levels, as well as taking the steps to move forward overseas, so be aware that their are many opportunities when true effort and unity empower abilities to fulfill dreams! Keep the focus and direction on your side! Keep the flow going and keep it strong and make it stronger by MAKING A SCENE TO CAUSE A SCENE & TO BE SEEN! The Music Menu is working hard to take the direction for locals to know there is a home here for their music and a home away from home for touring artists. Make the reason for others to see that Phoenix is doing something special with some really amazing talent!
