Work Together: “Booking Shows” with Kevin Kyle

Wed, Oct 23 7-9pm in Regina at the SaskMusic Office (1831 College Ave, 3rd Floor
(Production Studios building) WEST side door.

Join us for the next edition of our casual Work Together nights! In this session we have long-time artist & band manager Kevin Kyle leading us through the do’s and don’t of booking your shows. Where do you find the right venues to play? How do you reach out to the booker? What do you include in your pitch? Venue contracts? Door split or guarantee? How many times do you follow up and what do you do after the show to keep in contact with the venue?

These questions and more will be covered with practical advice and examples from Kevin’s 20 years on the road booking national/international shows and tours, from Canada and the U.S. to Japan. Join us for this FREE Work Together with drinks and munchies provided. Bring your laptop or your notebook and be ready to craft the best show pitch for you and your band!
