Accessibility to musicians has always been a challenge compared to other celebrities, but things are getting easier.
VIP parties and radio station events with public autograph appearances have become more common place in recent years, hopefully with room to get even better.
I recently wrote to US rock band, 3 Doors Down, and received this nice signed photo in return.

The Internet has really helped collectors with contacting musicians through social networking sites and official homepages.
As a matter of fact, I just bought an autographed CD from
Jewel
for essentially the same price as I would have paid unsigned through a retailer. Remember, I bought this directly from her. While I suppose authenticity is still somewhat of a concern, I trust it will be genuine.

Rockers Bon Jovi also have an excellent
website
featuring autographs and rare music memorabilia.
These are just two examples of ways you can buy autographs directly from your favorite musician or band. There are countless others out there!
