The Changing Business of Bands: How New Groups Start, Grow, and Succeed Using Social Media

Gould, Jackson S.

Abstract Details

2012, Bachelor of Science (BS), Ohio University, Media Arts and Studies.
This thesis studies the use of social media by independent musicians, attempting to find and define a relationship between Facebook and audience attendance at shows. First the paper looks at a historical overview of the music industry, as well as comparative business models for musicians and venues. Then, the study uses a statistical analysis of Facebook data from three independent bands to analyze Facebook trends and their correlation to audience attendance.
