Music Connection

Music Connection is a United States-based monthly music trade magazine that began publication in 1977. It caters to career-minded musicians, songwriters, recording artists, and assorted music industry support personnel. Initially, the magazine focused solely on the Southern California music scene, but it now has a national focus distribution. The publication and website offer inside information about the music business, including specialized directories of contact information for professionals and free classifieds for musicians. Music Connection also publishes reviews of unsigned and independent live performers and recording artists. A number of acclaimed artists achieved their first music magazine cover status from Music Connection. Those artists and groups include Guns N' Roses, Madonna, Jane's Addiction, Alanis Morissette, The White Stripes and Adele.
