Performer is an American music magazine aimed at independent musicians.

The magazine focuses primarily on musicians who are unsigned and on small labels, and their success in a DIY[clarification needed] environment.

According to its website, it is dedicated to promoting lesser-known talent and being the first to introduce its readership to promising new artists.

Performer is currently a free publication[1] that also covers the following areas of the independent music industry: promoters, instruments, music business advice, artists, and reviews.

In 2010, the company combined the previous three regional editions into one national monthly magazine.
