So sure, you've got shirts and dog tags and CD's....but what are some ideas that are really outside the box?
How about steampunk bling with bronze guitar picks with phrases stamped on them. How about a physical piece of art with lyrics to one of your songs on them? I'm on a quest for alternative band merch to give my fans items they cannot get anywhere else from any other band and here are some of the ideas that I came up with. If you have any skills with arts and crafts, you've got one hell of a unique asset that you can use to make extra money at your shows! This is just a brief intro to what I have on my merch table, I will have more videos that focus on the some of these individual pieces and how I made them. I hope this gives you some ideas and inspiration for your own DIY Indie musician route. It's not easy and I constantly comb the pages and catacombs of the internet to find interesting ideas for indie merch.
Also the merch table itself? Instead of the folding table with the sheet over if, how about a nice little suitcase.
I'm always looking for new ideas to give my fans better and more outside the box merch so if you have any ideas, please let me know.
I hope you all enjoy and please feel free to ask me anything, make a request or just say hi!

Lyrics do matter! There are some mainstream musicians (like halsey for example) who seem to care about lyrics but none of their good songs ever get played on the radio.

yes!!!! Absolutely. Yeah, they are few and far between but there are not nearly enough of them. The good thing about indie musicians is that we are not bound to strike label restrictions and we can delve into our lyrics and really push the art forward!

hey Lando, you are so welcome! I have one more secret for you: look up "Gigstation" it's literally the best indie merch table idea EVER. Seriously. You're gonna freak when you see it.

That necklace is cool you should do a video on how you press the messages into the pic

So you take a mini hammer and little letters (you can buy them at Michaels or other craft stores) and you hammer each letter onto the copper. Get a rubber square to lay the copper necklace on to absorb the impact so it doesn't scratch the back of the necklace. I hope that helps some. PS - are you still making music today?

Thanks for the knowledge & tips. I like that you care about lyrics ... a lot of the mainstream distributors of music don't think we really listen to lyrics, but I know I do!

Aw, thank you so much Linda!! I truly believe Lyric Writing is a dying art and almost no mainstream writer is writing anything original...it all happened in the 60's and 70's...those were the good ol' days and I wasnt' even born yet. I'm glad you do!

Thanks Davi! Yeah, it's a crazy time to be a musician, there's all these non-music related things we have to figure out now....I think I might make a program or something with all the crap that I had to learn.

how about when there is a crowd there for a sporting event and they make a band go on before the game is over (hockey games go till about 10:15.....bands often start at 10).....so rather then have the band go on the second the event is over to keep people sticking around they make a band start at a point where all of these patrons not there for the show just get angry at the band and leave the second the game is done.....so many bar fails!!!!!

@@TheSickNeeds That is the WORST. Absolutely worst. It is so frustrating. Sports people don't generally like bands as much as I think lots of venue owners assume they do. Argh.
