GET BOOKED! HOW TO GET A BOOKING AGENT
Ever wonder what a booking agent does for their artists? How do you get one? Getting a booking agent can be a huge step for bands looking to make that next step. You could go from opening a show in front of 5 people for a handful of drink tickets (hot tip: don't do those shows!) to landing an opening slot for legions of Pearl Jam fans (okay, an extreme example, but you never know). In addition to opening for Pearl Jam, an agent can get you on all the cool festivals, help book your own headliner tours with the top promoters and venues, and enable you to focus on songwriting and being the artist you are! Come chat with The Feldman Agency's Stefanie Purificati, who will share her insights on what it takes for a band to attract a booking agent.
