About Me


Performer Magazine - The Musician's Resource
The West Coast has the seeds of a real musical community, but only one publication that tries to pull it together and spread the word about music all along the coast. We want people in Seattle to hear about music in San Diego, and we want good bands from Fresno to have a fighting chance in San Francisco. Every week some amazing band from another city or another state is playing a basement in your town, and fifteen people are getting their minds blown. Be one of them. Performer is a magazine for independent musicians. Our mission is to supply our readership with motivating interviews and the kind of industry information they need to get ahead. We cover bands and solo artists based on the West Coast who are either unsigned or signed to an independent label. All styles of music are fair game — from country to funk to hip-hop to nu-tribal-klezmer-core — as long as there’s something innovative going on.
While Performer is dedicated to promoting all genres of independent music, this profile is for the West Coast edition, so we are only interested in making friends with musicians, studios, labels, etc. in the West Coast community. We will not be able to add bands or music-related businesses that are not part of the region. Personal profiles from all over are welcome!
