About NOM

Neworleansmusicians.com actually started as Neworleansbands.net circa early 2000‘s. It was built by local musician Daniel Carrone in an effort to coordinate and network local bands. It was constructed as a simple forum, using Jamroom software. It grew over time and came to play host to roughly 300 local bands. At its height Neworleansbands.net was seeing over 1.5 million hits a month, and even served as a point of contact for band members displaced by hurricane Katrina. Through a series of negotiations, I came to own Neworleansbands.net. I completely redesigned it, brought the total number of domains leading to the site to 23, formed an LLC, and ultimately rebranded it as Neworleansmusicians.com. In its expansion I added a classifieds section, a show calendar, streaming music and videos, accommodations for industry professionals, and a line of merchandise. To further support the site and extend our reach, I started a YouTube channel, a podcast, a blog, and playlists on 16 platforms all under the same name.

Because of the networking capabilities and all-encompassing look at music in Louisiana, Neworleansmusicians.com is a highly respected resource and a trusted brand. I have been a guest on podcasts (Getting To Know You, Music of America), and been featured in the American Press, CanvasRebel Magazine, and Bold Journey Magazine. Our members and media have been featured in Offbeat Magazine, VoyageMIA, All About Jazz, and Mixed Alternative Magazine to name a few. As a website administrator, Youtube creator, playlist curator, industry columnist, and a podcast producer/ host, the network I have built makes being published on all mediums a reality for the independent musicians of Louisiana. I have made good on my word, delivering them to the masses at no charge and aligning them with everything from festival slots to album features and instructor gigs.

I have made my services and assets freely available to all bands, music organizations, and charity organizations in our state. To further interest through content and education, I interview artists and music business owners, gaining perspective for all on their personal lives as well as their professional experiences. By forming human relationships with these people and presenting them to the world as such, I feel as though a deeper appreciation for them and what they do will result. Peers that share their experiences with others inherently teach one another how to better themselves. And by creating a central locale for them to converge and do business, I feel they will effectively form THE source for music in Louisiana on Neworleansmusicians.com. The possibilities are endless.
