Not only is he an expert in viral, social and authentic marketing (which he calls "Un-Marketing") ... Scott is also a former band manager with a lot of great advice for indie artists and managers.

Wait till you hear the killer way he built a mailing list and a following that attended one band's live shows in Toronto.
