(PRWEB) April 24, 2004 --With the ongoing trend to consolidate record labels in the music business coming to a head in 2004 and the depressed music market, there are fewer and fewer record labels and opportunities for even the most established bands and artists. We are seeing fewer and fewer label reps and promotional dollars being spent. Record labels across the globe are tightening their belts and their willingness to develop new artists and to support existing acts with promotional dollars," according to Carric Durran with ROCK&ROLL.COM MAGAZINE.    Durran added that Those bands and artists that 'get it are making more of an effort to win fans over and this is why many artists are more appreciative of their fans. Many touring bands and artists are being forced to be more fan-friendly and to work harder with promotional events, meet-n-greets, sound check parties etc. All of these factors make 2004 perhaps the best concert season to see and/or meet your favorite artists and bands."
