Performer Magazine, the nation's largest trade publication for musicians, highlights the best unsigned and independent musical acts from the U.S. Performer is dedicated to supplying its readership with the kind of industry information and motivating interviews they need to get ahead. Through focused editorial, covering everything from the latest gear to marketing your band on a shoestring budget, Performer meets the needs of active recording musicians.
Performer Magazine consists of three separate, regionalized editions published each month: Northeast, Southeast, and West Coast. Each edition is free and contains live show and CD reviews, artist spotlights and feature and cover articles specific to the region. All submissions receive equal editorial consideration.
Circulation ranges from 30,000 to 35,000 copies depending on the region. Performer is distributed everywhere musicians are - instrument retailers, rehearsal spaces, active music venues, and recording studios.
Performer requires a minimum lead time of two months, meaning May submissions, if selected for coverage, will not appear until the August issue at the earliest.
All genres are accepted. The only requirement is that the submitting artist lives within the region covered by the edition. Eligible states: MA, NH, RI, CT, VT, ME, GA, AL, MS, FL, NC, SC, TN, VA, KY, OR, WA, CA.
Performer supports independent musicians!
