Everyone who has ever picked up an instrument or has longed to be in a band will want a copy of "Garage to Gigs"!

Professional musician Andrew Thomas shows musicians the possibilities open to them at every stage of their careers: be in a cover band or write new songs; collaborate with other band members or back a star; and, the choices are wide open. No matter what the playlist or the dynamic of the band, "Garage to Gigs" will help musicians find direction and find steady work.
