Promoters, Bookers, Agents, and Publicists may love your music, but may be quietly cursing you as they try to promote you. Do you have your promotional materials in place? Are they the right things? Do you know what you need? Do you know why it’s necessary or important? Regardless of your musical genre, there are tools that most bookers use to promote your gig, and that help them to help you find an audience.
Join us for a workshop that will help you to understand what you need, why you need it, and how best to format it so that it works for music bookers and promoters.
