Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-367-89491-7 (ISBN)
This practical guidebook examines the roles of the key players – from booking agents to concert promoters, artist managers to talent buyers – and the deals, conventions, and processes that drive this global business. Written by a touring professional with over 25 years of experience, this book elucidates why playing live is crucial to the success of any musician, band, or artist, explaining issues like:
what managers, promoters, and agents do and how they arrange shows and tours;
how to understand and negotiate show contracts;
how to create a contract rider, and how the rider affects the money you earn from a show;
how to appear professional and knowledgeable in an industry with its own conventions, language, and baffling technical terms; and
a three-year plan using live performance to kickstart your music career
Intended for music artists and students, The Live Music Business presents proven live-music career strategies, covering every aspect of putting on a live show, from rehearsing and soundchecks to promotions, marketing, and contracts. In an era when performing live is more essential than ever, this is the go-to guidebook for getting your show on the road and making a living from music.
