Stadiumvsgigs

For many music-lovers, the experience of going to a state-of-the-art arena to see their favorite band or artist perform is all part of the fun, whereas for others, an intimate gig held in a small venue is the ideal way to enjoy live music.

Whilst the type of venue you choose to see your favorite acts is entirely based on personal taste, it is worth debating over the pros and cons of each before purchasing tickets.

Band-specific venues

It goes without saying that the type of band or artist that you are going to see will determine the type of venue. For globally-recognised bands, the venue will more than likely be a large scale stadium to accommodate for the large volume of fans. Up-and-coming artists on the other hand, will have a smaller fan base and be performing in lesser-known venues with smaller capacities.

It’s true that some bands work better in larger venues than others. While some bands will thrive off dancing crowds and special staging effects, the sound quality and visual aesthetics of acoustic artists with stripped back performances may fail to work in larger venues. CONTINUE READING

The Ultimate Self-Marketing Checklist for Musicians

The Top 13 Steps to Take Now to Book More Gigs

Being a working artist is pretty similar to owning your own business – except as an artist, you’re the CEO, the salesman, and the assistant…not to mention the actual product being sold.

But one of your most important roles is that of marketer. You could have the most earth-shatteringly beautiful voice or play the harp like an actual angel, but if no one knows about you, you won’t go far in profiting from your amazing talents.

If you’re like most creative people, you’d much rather just focus on your work than trying to brand yourself or hustle your demo. But if you want to eventually be playing venues that are slightly larger than your cousin’s bar mitzvah, you need to devote some time and effort to smart self-marketing tactics.

Use these suggestions as a checklist to make sure that you’re doing everything you need to be doing to get exposure. CONTINUE READING
