Finding
and organizing shows, along with putting together and
transporting a band can be a time consuming and frustrating
experience. But you have to play live and you need to
reach as many existing and new fans as possible.
Once you are offered
a show you still need to agree a payment and sort out
a contract covering ALL your performance costs.
The booking agent does
not actually put on shows. An agent acts as an intermediary
between the thousands of artists and the limited worldwide
body of promoters of concert venues, festival, clubs
and colleges. It is the agent’s job to negotiate
deals with the promoters based on what he or she knows
of the act’s needs, the city or venue he or she
is pitching to, and the relationship with the promoter.
Bands now see live performances as a primary source
of income as their recorded music revenues have
decreased and so tour to make money and not purely as
a promotional activity. |

Once a period of gigging activity
is agreed with the artist and their management the agent will
approach promoters to arrange the actual shows. When booking
shows, the agent has to take into account geographical and
seasonal matters, staging needs as well as keep an eye on
the competition.
By having a 'contracted local band', it will ensure
less travel cost as well as additional dollars needed for
hotels and equipment rental etc. Additionally this type of
planning has to be done well in advance (typically three
to four months) to ensure availability and better pricing
in the regions wanted.
Planning
of a Southern Tour Can Be A Big Headache If You Let It ...

Seasonal matters
also come into play.
Take into consideration the weather.
Even if YOU could make it through the snow,
Would the audience turn up?
Think your ready to come south, or are
you not sure whether a Florida trip should be in your
immediate future? Planning and performing a music tour
is complicated and time consuming.
We can really help you
lower your costs and headaches.
If you expect to make a lot of money off
concert tours, you're likely to be disappointed. By the
time the venue, concert promoter and ticket vendor take
their cuts, equipment rentals and crew are paid, and transportation
and living costs are covered, there may not be as much
as you'd expect. That's not even considering sliding CD
sales and the move to digital music. |
To reach a decision,
you'll want to consider factors such as:
Q: Do we have musicians who know
the material and are ready to perform?
A: Absolutely! We can learn the material in advance,
ensuring we're fully prepared for you to step on stage and
do what you do best.
Q: Can they handle the rigors of
travel and the challenge of playing the material as if it's
fresh and new?
A: No worries about travel
– our band is already local! Plus, with no drama associated
with our players, we guarantee a fresh and exhilarating
performance every time you hit the stage.
Q: Are we getting enough bookings
and a strong enough response from fans to indicate the budget
is right for a full band?
A: We've got you covered!
In some cases, we can secure additional local dates and
even assist with show promotion, ensuring your full band
experience is a roaring success!
Limited profitability
is nothing new for touring bands, but we can help Make
It Better.
If you've decided you're ready
to come south, the next step is preliminary planning, probably
led by your band's manager.
Maybe make it a vacation...with one or two dates while
you are here?
We can help you and here are some questions to consider:
Q: Where do you want to perform?
What is your tentative itinerary?
A: In many cases, we can assist with securing dates at specific
cities and venues where we have established working relationships.
You can even do a show while spending a few days in Florida!
Q: What are your specific performing
needs in terms of instruments and musical equipment?
A: No worries, we are self-contained and provide our own
backline. No rentals required!
Q: What are your specific stage,
sound engineering, and lighting needs?
A: We've got you covered! If needed, we can provide additional
sound & lighting personnel, all pre-screened for top
quality and reliability – no surprises.
Q: How much equipment will the band
bring along, and how much will you need at the venue?
A: Leave it to us – we'll take care of all the equipment.
You just focus on delivering your stellar performance.
Q: What's your tentative budget
for the tour, including employee pay and equipment costs?
A: With full transparency and no hidden expenses, you'll
know EXACTLY what the band needs. Planning your dates will
be stress-free!
Q: What are your limits in tour
length and number of shows?
A: No worries about extra housing expenses during gaps in
bookings. With the band already here, you can pick up more
work based on a positive response.
