Why I’m Giving This Away For Free
I’m Ian Fell, owner of Untold Stories Recordings in Chicago. But before I ran a studio, I was a touring musician grinding through the same struggles you’re facing right now: how to book shows, how to get your music heard, how to build something real in a profession that doesn’t hand out shortcuts.
I’ve been around working musicians my whole life. I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. And I’ve watched too many talented artists give up because they didn’t have the right tools or the right roadmap.
So I built this packet—and I’m giving it away because the Chicago music scene is stronger when we help each other.
No catch. No upsell. Just hundreds of hours of work distilled into practical tools you can use today.
What’s Inside:
- Promotion and booking calendars for the whole year
- 12-month production roadmap for scheduling recording and song creation
- Contact info for nearly 100 Chicago music venues
- 200+ Chicago media outlets
- Over 600 independent national radio stations
- Video series: How To Book Tours & Shows, How To Promote Your Projects, How To Boost Creativity
- Templates: Basic Press Release, Booking Shows Email, Reaching Out To Artists To Play Your Show
- And a whole lot more…
Who This Is For:
Passionate independent musicians in the Chicagoland area—from Lincoln Park to Oak Park, from Wilmette to Beverly—who are committed to building sustainable careers, not chasing instant fame.
Real talk: This packet won’t turn you into the next global popstar. It’s for artists ready to do the work—building a touring network, creating fan email lists, building relationships with venues and media, booking your own shows, producing merch, throwing shows for other artists.
If you’re looking for shortcuts, this isn’t it. If you’re ready to grind and build something real, you’re in the right place.
