Bandmate: Field Guides for Modern Bands

by Tim Mushen

Bandmate is a 10-book series designed to help modern bands thrive — from stage presence and mental wellness to the business side of being in a working band. The first titles roll out over the coming months, with the full series landing in 2026.

The series is the practical companion to Bandmate.co: everything the books cover, the platform exists to support.

What the series covers

Each book is short, focused, and written for working bands — not signed acts, not bedroom producers. If you're playing shows, splitting gas money, and trying to figure out what comes next, this is for you.

  • Stage presence — owning the room without faking confidence
  • Mental wellness — keeping your head when the band is loud
  • Booking gigs — getting on bills that actually pay
  • Recording on a budget — getting pro sound without pro gear
  • Building an audience — real growth, not vanity metrics
  • Band finances — splitting money without splitting the band
  • Releasing music — putting records out without losing your shirt
  • Press & promo — getting written about without paying for it
  • Touring smart — DIY touring that doesn't end in bankruptcy
  • Sustaining the band — keeping it going when life gets loud
