Our thanks to AirShow Mastering (a COMBO Business Member) for passing along the messages about the number of Marshall Fire Benefit shows going on – listed in the calendar below. Helps to spread the word! Please attend at least one and donate to your fellow musicians. We appreciate the number of musicians/ bands taking their time and trouble to help raise funds for those who have lost everything. You never think anything like this will happen – especially to you or someone you actually know.
.
COMBO is about the LOVE of Music. Our mission is to assist musicians with the ins & outs of the business of music. We have a board of dedicated and knowledgeable musicians and others in the Music Industry. We offer guidance and advice to help musicians advance their careers whether it be in writing, performing, teaching, or recording and sound engineering! Our articles and programs represent some phase of the music business that could effect musicians – all musicians – everywhere. Our motto: Elevate Your Musical State!
