Independent musicians don't have marketing departments and publicity teams working to get their music heard. That's why it helps so much when you guys pitch in to help spread the word. There are some things you can do to help out that may seem little to you, but are huge for me.

Link My Website

A simple link to my site from yours would be hugely appreciated. Not only does it bring in visitors who click it, it helps me be found in the search engines. The best place to link to is http://www.joshwoodward.com/ . I don't have a page yet to return links, but I'm working on one, so drop me a line if you link me.

Bring Friends to Shows

I can't begin to say how much this helps. When I come back to a venue, the only thing better than seeing lots of familar faces from the last show is finding out that they each brought two friends. And if you're super-cool and want to pass out flyers for a show, just let me know and I'll get you a stack.

Burn My Music For Friends

Seriously, you won't get arrested. I'm one of those odd artists who loves it when you burn my CDs for friends. I love it even more when they like it and decide to pick up a copy of their own, but it's more important to get the music out there.

Suggest a Song Idea

Got an idea for a song? I'd love to hear it.

Bring Me to Your Town

Not from one of the handful of towns I play regularly? I'm always open to playing new areas. If you have any recommendations or booking contacts with good venues, drop me a line and let's see what we can do.

There Is No Bad Press

If you have any contacts with the press, espeically in music columns or publications, I'd love you if you hooked me up. Ditto any radio/TV broadcasts. And in either case, if you want to write a review of one of my CDs yourself, that always helps a ton to build a press pack.

Thank you so much for anything you do. I can't begin to say that enough.
