Thanks everyone for a great year at rawkandrowl.com! As you probably read, this will be the final post on the blog. I hope the posts here can remain helpful to you throughout 2010! Keep in mind that the site will go away in August, so save anything you want off of here.

I would also like to leave you with two great sources for similar information. The first is musformation.com which is updated daily (more often than Rawk&Rowl! ever was) and is a great pulse check on what’s new and what’s going on in the music industry, specifically for musicians. The second is getfreshusa.com which is an amazing blog filled with insights from someone who has been there trying to grow his band and get his music in front of more and more people. Check both of these out and I think you’ll find they are a suitable replacement for Rawk & Rowl!

Again, have a wonderful 2010!

As a one man operation, Rawk & Rowl can unfortunately no longer exist. The blogs on this site have hopefully been a help to some people out there. Thanks for reading for the past year. The plan now is to continue to blog through the end of 2009 and then to keep the site up until the domain expires in October, 2010.

Thanks everyone!
