New repositionable vinyl stickers offer artists some great new promotional tools.

Promoting your performer with vinyl stickers is a new way to get people talking. Vinyl stickers can be custom made with your performer logo or life size photos of your performer in action and of the performer members.

What’s this new vinyl sticker material called? FotoSticks. Repositionable and reusable vinyl stickers that will not harm walls. You could stick them up just about anywhere and then take them down and move them somewhere else. If they get dirty, just has been h them off with warm water.

You could give away free and inexpensive smaller vinyl stickers while selling life size stickers to produce a promotion that funds itself.

Here are several promotional ideas:

• Give away small vinyl stickers of your band’s logo at the door

• Sell life size wall stickers of your performer in action and the members along with very large stickers of your performer logo.

• Locate out where agents live and plaster their neighborhood bulletin boards and retailer windows (with permission, of course)

• Place them in jewel cases

• Put them on fan’s cars during a gig

Here are some more detailed promo ideas…

The band Brew

Thanks to Mike Larrabee for this idea, it’s great. Do you have a Local micro-brewery? See about getting a few cases of beer without front labels. Then establish your own label and order the design as a FotoStick. You could put them on the bottles and your fans could buy a beer and get a free promotional sticker that can be re-stuck anywhere they like.

Steal This Sticker

Put your performer stickers on bulletin boards, windows and anywhere else you dare. people might simply peel them off and use them again anywhere they want. They won’t harm walls or windows.

Artist Co-Promotion

Locate a nice artist or two and have a monthly promotion that includes a limited run of only a specified amount of stickers featuring a certain artist. When they are gone, that’s it, they are no longer available. Do this each month and you might  promote  collecting performer memorabilia and create some buzz.

Bar Graffiti

Put your performer stickers all over the bar or venue you’re playing in and let the audiences know that they can peel them off and keep them.

Photos of fans with performer Members

At each performance have one of the roadies take pictures of your listeners with their preferred performer members. Collect their addresses and then send them some FotoSticks a few weeks later to remind them of the night. You can be sure that they will show their friends and family. Since they’re repositionable, they can put them on their notebooks or laptops to show around and then put them on their wall once they’re done bragging.

Last night was a great night for music lovers. I’ve been going to concerts for years and out of the multitude of groups and entertainers, there’s only a few that I can count on my fingers and toes that perform an extremely well put together show. And last night I saw one of those rare groups at the Canyon Club in Agoura, CA – Los Lobos.

It was the first time they had played there and they enjoyed it very much, as well as the packed house, with standing room only. “We didn’t know this place existed”, Cesar Rojos commented after one of their songs. Now they do and I’m sure they’ll be back – the audienced loved their performance.

I’ve been going to concerts since I was 16, from Dave Brubeck to Mothers of Invention and besides being a musician for over 40 years – playing in rock bands since I was 14, I consider myself someone with the experience and knowledge to intelligently critique the concerts I go to.

Los Lobos, if you haven’t heard them before, are eclectic in the best sense of the word. They play mexican folk music to old time rock and roll and on a couple tunes, they mix in late 60’s pysychedelic. If you buy a Los Lobos CD, they’re one of the few bands that sound like their CDs, live. In fact, Friday night, we watched their DVD, Live at the Fillmore, to prep ourselves for the concert on Saturday. Any other band probably would have been a letdown after watching their DVD, but not Los Lobos.

They’re excellent, and very versatile with the ability to play several different instruments. They put on a show last night like I consider a good concert to be – a mixture of hits and old favorites and a tinge of new stuff, but not playing only new stuff. If you’re like me, you don’t want to hear all their new songs at a concert until and unless they become hits.

Everything about this concert was great from the lighting to the amplification. And by the way, the Canyon Club has a great PA system. All in all, it made me happy again to go to a live concert. The last few have been very disappointing.

For example, Todd Rundgren recently showed up to do a concert with NO band and just played his new music alone on acoustic guitar and piano. Then there was Johnny Winter. I guess I expected too much. I remember Johnny the way he used to be – a very energetic blues musician. Instead I saw an old man being helped out on stage, seated in a chair throughout the entire concert. It’ wasn’t all bad, but certainly wasn’t what you’d expect at a live concert. I guess none of us are as young as we used to be – except for perhaps Los Lobos…

Seeing a performance like this gives me a feeling of accomplishment without having to accomplish anything other than being able to say “Hey, I was just at a great concert and it was a killer!” I definitely give this concert a 10.

They have a new CD out, Los Lobos, The Town and the City. I haven’t heard it yet, but Amazon reviewers give it 4.5 stars.

A bit of trivia: did you know that Los Lobos played all the music in the Lou Diamond Phillips movie “La Bamba”, the Ritchie Valens story?

Bands fail all the time. They fail, not through a lack of skill or because of a mutual decision to pursue other interests, but because of a lack of interest, performer recognition and a small fan base. This lack of interest has absolutely virtually nothing to do with the band’s musical or vocal abilities; rather, it is due to a lack of promotion. without promotion and advertising to generate interest in the band, it will fail. This begs the question, how does a performer promote itself? Is there a single method of promotion that will work, or must it be a multifaceted marketing plan? Promotion is the most important aspect of turning into successful in the music business. To accurately  encourage  a band, a inclusive promotion plan must be created. This plan will encompass a lot of varying aspects of advertising and promotion and each one plays a critical role in the success or failure of the band. without a inclusive promotion plan, a performer cannot expect to garner the kind of fame and recognition important to be offer ed a large contract through by a top music business label. without promotion, the only fans you’ll obtain are those who actually get to hear the performer play, with no means of gaining a larger fans.

A all-inclusive promotion plan will cover many diverse areas:

It will permit listeners to hear a band’s music in the absence of actually having to present at a concert event. This may be achieved through two distinct methods. Creating a music cd that may be distributed free of charge is a excellent way to build a fan base. Members of the performer may be given an allotment to distribute through their everyday lives. Custom stickers may be placed within the jewel case, allowing listeners to  promote  the performer on their personal. You could also create music MP3’s and host them on the Internet for free download. Both of these methods will allow prospective listeners to listen to the band’s music in a comfortable performance ting in the absence of having to go to a show.

Use the Web. The Web is an incredible promotional tool if properly used. Nearly every performer has a presence on social networking web sites such as MySpace and FaceBook. You might use these to host your free MP3’s, let audiences request more information and performer stickers and bumper stickers. Stickers and bumper stickers may be custom made to meet a band’s particular needs through custom sticker printing.

Playing any Venue that will book the band, from free shows at a Local bar to annual Battle of the Bands competitions held in many cities. The more Venues played, the great the number of people that are able to listen to the band’s music and see experience their stage show. This allows bands to dramatically increase the amount of buzz generated about the performer and increase name recognition in the public.

Possibly the single perfect promotional tool at a bands disposal are custom printed performer stickers. These are an incredibly popular way for people to display their interests, causes, political statements and more. Through custom made stickers and bumper stickers, bands might use their original artwork, graphics, logos or designs that they might want to use. They are created through custom sticker printing and may be found many places on the Internet. Most fans are more than happy to put stickers of their favorite bands on their notebooks, backpacks, in their cars, on bulletin boards and anywhere else they might contemplate. This allows a vast number of others to see the band’s name, artwork and logo designs, increasing name recognition by a large amount.

A comprehensive promotional plan encompasses all this and more. Each aspect listed here dramatically boosts the fame and name recognition of a band and contributes to growing the band’s fame and fan base. In short, the more people that are aware of a band’s presence, the more people are able to listen to and appreciate the band’s music and attend performance s. listeners are what the music industry is all about, in the end, and the more listeners a band has, the greater the opportunitys that the band will be signed by a music label.

It would only be an understatement and repetition to state that movies or concerts are the greatest stress busters. A formula that like Harry Porters blockbusters never fail. Why only in pepping up people, they are also a sure short remedy for such afflictions like headaches.

Several people have experienced the magical effect of music on a suffering head. Sure enough it squeezes the pain out of ones system and replaces it with freshness that only a man who is suffering from such menace as headache would value.

Similar thing can be said about movies which have the power to carry people along with it and till the time lights are not switched on one is away with Brad Pitt or Sylvester Stallone doing some unbelievable action sequence. Sure enough poor headache would find that there is no place for it and very soon would vanish!

It would therefore not be a misnomer to conclude that tickets to movies or concerts are like gateway to relief. Then, whether it is a case of depression or physical affliction, both music and movies prove to be the greatest healers.

There are a few divergent types of deals when it comes to booking your performer for a show.

1) Door/ Percentage of Door

2) Guarantee

3) Combination of Guarantee + Door

4) 80/20 split

1) When you’re just starting out this is probably going to be the most common deal you will see. You may be wondering why I didn’t mention FREE. Never is there a reason to play for free, unless it is for charity or a cause of some kind, in which case the organizer for that show ought to at the least cover all of your expenses and rentals that you can need for the show, getting to the show, food and drinks at the show. As an artist playing live you’re trying to get your name out there but more important ly you’re selling a service.  promoters and club owners hire you and your band members to draw people into their establishment so that they can sell beer, food and other drinks to the patrons. With larger shows the  promoter is trying to sell tickets as well as make a cut of the food and drink sales, but we’ll get into that later. For small shows it is probably the owner of the club /bar or a  promoter that works internally that’s employing you, so their primary concern ought to be trying to sell booze and food.

In this case, in my opinion, there should be no reason for them to take a cut of the admission to get into the show. You should be able to mutually agree on a “door price” so that it isn’t too high that it will drive customers away, but enough that you might justify being there. Occasionally the owner will say that he needs to take a cut of the door to cover some of the expenses of the club or for whatever reason. Although I would again and again disagree with this but when you’re just starting out and trying to build a fan base occasionally you’ve to accept this kind of thing in order to get some exposure. Once you’ve a dedicated fan base that will show up to your shows again and again then you might tell the owner that you’re bound to bring in a certain number of people and that you deserve the entire door or to split the door with the rest of the musicians on the bill. If the owner is still not willing to relinquish his clutch on the door cover you might want to think about switching club s. It might be a wonderful sign to your fan base that will see the move a step up in your career.

Indeed,in this form of negotiation it will be in the owner’s best interest to have the entry cost be little or zero as this will allow for passers by to stroll in when they hear the music. If  possible patrons find out there is a cover to get in they could not want to drop the cash. If the  promoter is incredibly concerned about the cover price being too high you could want to discuss the possibility of a guarantee.

2) Guarantee is where you want to be. When still playing the indie circuit this is the easy st way to book a show. All guarantee means is that the  promoter or club owner guarantees to pay the performer a  set amount for the night. In this situation there is never an argument about how much was made at the door, and for the most part, never an argument about costs. The  promoter books the performer for say $100.00 to play and the rest is up to the performer to deal with. This way, as an artist, you know exactly what you’re going to be making and may plan your costs appropriately. When doing a door show there are a lot of variables including costs to get to the gig, sound engineer, gear and then the biggest variable, THAT people show up ! If nobody shows up to a door concert you do not make any money and all costs are out of pocket. When doing a guarantee there are still variables but at least there is no variable of people. Either the  promoter is counting on people walking by to come in and have a drink or is doing their level perfect to sell tickets for the show. All you’ve to worry about in this situation is showing up on time, sounding the perfect you may during the sound check, making a final ing impression on the  promoter and doing what you do perfect… blowing the fans away.

3) The next optimum thing to having a show that pays a guarantee is having a show that pays both a guarantee and a bonus for the amount of people that attend. This is a rare case and can be a exceptional deal, but once in a while this doesn’t work to your favor.  promoters who are looking to save some money will try to book artists with a smaller guarantee and a cut of the door or ticket sales. This could not be as wonderful because it doesn’t “guarantee” you an amount, still if you are expecting a large crowd to this show or are able to get a wonderful buzz going, this could be the way to go.

4) The 80/20 Spl it is a common deal when you have a booking agent and are playing large shows. 80/20 splits are almost always booked by an outside  promoter or an organizer for an event. The deal is eminently similar to a guarantee, the only difference occurs when the  promoter breaks even with his costs. The way it breaks down, the  promoter lays out all costs on his part such as security, Club rental, advertising, cost for printing tickets, food and drinks for band and crew, gear rental, and all other costs for putting on the show. The  promoter additionally includes a 10 %  promoter cost to pay himself and a guarantee for the band. Once all of these costs have been met from ticket sales, the remainder is profit and that’s where the split comes in. And may be to your surprise, as it has been to mine, it is split 80 % to the musician 20 % to the  promoter. This is al most a glorified guarantee and door deal except the musician gets 80 % of the ticket sales once all costs are covered. All performers hope to get themselves here one day as this is the most profitable concert deal, the only downside is by the time you get to this point there are usually multiple other hands in your pot such as musician managers, booking agents and every now and then record companies. It’s difficult when you’re an musician in demand to stay on top of your own affairs, and the more in demand you become the more you’ll find yourself neglecting other parts of your job as an artist. At this time you ought to contemplate giving away a piece of your pie in order to be able to focus on the parts of your career that are most important to you. Still, all of us will get into this at a later point in much more detail.

Here is a basic breakdown of negotiations. The  promoter is going to want something specific from the artist, the majority of the time this to have the artist to play for as little money as possible. The artist furthermore wants something, again and again to play for as much money as possible or for as a lot of people as possible. The way that basic negotiations work is that both events are going to try to get as much as they might of what they want. In order to do so, both events are going to ex vary other points of the deal to trade for things that they want. So your task in order to prep for negotiating with a  promoter or a club owner is to evaluate what you want out of this show in a best world (these are called deal points) and rate each deal point in order of importance to you as an artist/band. If money is the the majority vital thing in this show for you then that’s what you’re going to be following and might have to give up other deal points in order to get more of what you want. In a situation where the  promoter is willing to give you a session amount say $100.00 for the show and 5 free tickets to invite whomever you want, but you’re playing in a city where you do not know anyone, you might ask the  promoter to cash those tickets at price back to him. If each ticket is $10.00 then it would be reasonable to ask the  promoter for a $150.00 guarantee with no tickets.

For an opposite situation where resources is not that vital to you and exposure in this new town may be a higher priority, you might want to ask the  promoter to pay you $50.00 for the night and get 10 tickets, and invite members of the Local press or might be some record label representatives to attend for free to expose your music to them in hopes you might get on their show or reviewed in their newspaper/magazine.

Decide what you and your performer mates find are necessary to you for this specific show and fight for those points. A master negotiator knows how to get everything that they want and giving up exceedingly little of what they have. You’ve to learn what you think will be necessary to the  promoter and what isn’t so necessary to you and use those points to trade for what you want. furthermore, attitude with negotiations is half the game. If the  promoter feels that the deal points you are giving away are not necessary to you, then he/she may not feel it to be an adequate trade for something that they do find necessary to them. You need to give the impression that everything that you are trading away is exceedingly necessary to you. Make a ample deal. Make them feel like they stole it away from you. Another approach is that you make the  promoter feel like you are doing them a favor. This approach may either work well or back fire and make you feel stupid. If the  promoter has any brains he knows what is necessary to you and what’s not. If you try to tell him that you are going to ” help him out” or give him the whole “I will tell you what” line, then you better be giving him something value his while. Otherwise he will not be fooled and will ask for much more from you then you may be willing to give up.

Understand that in practicing negotiations you are might going to blow a couple of deals. If you push things too far, the  promoter may get sick of getting nowhere and book another band. Unfortunately this is going to happen. This is great time to practice another, al the majority more necessary skills when dealing with the music business, DAMAGE CONTROL. No matter where you are in your career things are going to go wrong, that is just a fact of life. Issues will arise and you’ll have to recover from mistakes. Being able to fix your issues or at least make the the majority of a bad situation is a nice skill to have and sign of a great business man. In a case when you’ve pushed a  promoter too far you may have to apologize and make up a story of how you had been dicked around by another  promoter and has been just being careful. Whatever the excuse may be, there is a number of times a way to boost the situation as long as you haven’t burned the bridge completely.

In the same breathe I am going to reiterate something that I said in the last podcast. If you find that you are giving up too much in the deal or the deal is just not sounding as promising as it once was, get out. Yes, on occasion you need to give a little to get a little, but you can’t let  promoters step all over you. If you are not getting what you feel that you deserve, make a statement and tell the  promoter that you are no longer interested because you are not one to be taken advantage of. Advise the  promoter that Assuming that they wish to renegotiate they have your number. One of two things will happen, either the  promoter will look for another band who will quietly accept what you refused to, or they will come to their senses, give you a call and try to work something new out. Assume they will not call you back.

Well that about does it for booking. If you have any questions or a situation that you can be in that you would like us to comment on, send us a message in our contact section and all of us will either email you back or mention it in the next podcast.

You have brought together three or four of the perfect artists in town, and they are jamming to your tunes. You’ve spent days and nights writing and rewriting lyrics, and you have been working hard to perfect your sound. Finally, following a lot of months of practice, you are ready to reap the benefits of your hard work. But how do you begin?

As a new band, the idea of booking your first concert might prove to be a daunting task. Still, it doesn’t have to be. By following these simple steps, you might turn a superficially overwhelming process into a productive one.

Making sure that the members of the band are all on the same page is an essential first step in the booking process. Agree on a number of performances per month that anybody will play. Put together a session of your best tunes and make a demo. Your demo ought to not include full-length tunes ; several short snippets of your strongest material will showcase your band’s strengths and will sell your band to potential Clubs with little or no endeavor. With your demo, include a photo of the band, a short statement about the music or genre that the band plays, and your contact information, including the band’s web site. Decide what Clubs you are interested in playing and how much you will charge them for playing, if anything. Getting these details out of the way early will produce good communication among the band members, thus avoiding misunderstandings in the future.

Next, do your research. Scope out the Regional scene; find out who your competition is, which artists performance where, what Clubs cater to your specific sound, and who your target listeners is. Talk to seasoned Regional acts; a lot of the time times, your fellow performers will be your perfect sources of information. Getting to know your competition, your listeners and your Regional scene will prove to be an indispensable tool when you’re selling yourself to club owners and booking agents. furthermore, be open to anything. Limiting yourself to venues and bars will hinder your opportunity of booking your band. Locate out about open-mic nights in your area, provide to open for other artists for free and find out about Regional fairs and festivals where your band might get some exposure.

When you are out and about checking out potential Clubs, ask for the names of the people responsible for booking artists at that location. Get their contact information and keep track. Use all of your contacts and, when calling them, be brief and to the point. Ask them If they have time to talk, and if not, when it would be a wonderful time to contact them. Ask for permission before submitting your demo. Be persistent, but not pushy, and realize that it will take some time to get that job. Once you do get the gig, be sure to discuss payment, if any, as well as what you’ll need to bring as opposed to what the Club will provide. Be professional and be honest.

With determination, a little know-how, and some clever self-promotion, you might land that 1st performance and be on your way to success in no time.

Every Parrothead (that’s what Jimmy’s fans are known as!) knows that Jimmy Buffett concert tickets are actually tickets to a tropical fantasy! It’s got congas, steel drums, lyrics that spell ecstasy, and of course, Jimmy him self!

One of the specialties of Buffett’s songs are they are partly based on truths and feature ingenious titles like “If The Phone Doesn’t Ring, It’s Me”! One of the examples of his truth based songs is “Fins.” Buffett created it while observing a group of guys trying to select a bikini contest winner!
Songs All The Way

Some of the sensational songs that have made the fans desperate for Jimmy Buffet concert tickets are:
Margaritaville
Cheesburger in Paradise
It’s Five O’ Clock Somewhere (it’s a duet with Alan Jackson)
Let’s Get Drunk and Screw
Fruitcakes
Boat Drinks
Volcano
Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes

The concerts of Jimmy Buffett are like a whimsical holiday in Havana. The fun is marked with “Money Back Guarantee.” The venue turns into a land of Parrotheads and margaritas, of people who are coming to terms with what’s happening (they are the new Parrotheads!), and of those who want to drench themselves with the gushing bliss and forget everything else!

And mind you, Parrotheads come fully prepared to Jimmy Buffett concert. They dress in grass skirts, Hawaiian shirts, and straw hats. There are blenders that churn cocktails in gallons. Some of them are powered by electric generators. Rum, Tequila, and other kinds of drinks do the rounds. So, which one is your taste? Pick a drink, dance a jig, get drunk, and keep smiling – you’re on top of the world – you’re with Jimmy Buffett!

This is the uniqueness of Jimmy Buffett concerts. Unlike other concerts, the entertainer remains at the backdrop and it’s the audience that dominates the show. It’s the pre-party, where Parrotheads in Hawaiin outfits mingle with each other and turn the event into a social gathering. This is the tailgate party that happens a few hours before Buffett steals the show.

Well, this is one artist who lets the audience take over before he bowls over everyone with his irresistible charm! Who would have ever imagined that a concert could be converted into a tropical party? But one man did imagine it some 30 years back. He decided to pen down songs that talked about days in Margaritaville, about having boat drinks sitting at the deck of a ship sailing in water, and of living a life as if you’re the king of paradise. That man is Jimmy Buffett.

Jimmy Buffett concert tickets are not just for the young people. It’s for everyone, right from your kid sister to your grandpa! Age is no bar at Buffett concerts. The only thing you need to have is a zest for life!

So, bring along your smile, your attitude, some style, and your enthusiasm. And, please leave behind all fears and inhibitions. This is Jimmy Buffett concert. It’s an escape to paradise.

An vital part of making it in the Hip Hop industry is having the right beats or instrumental. You might have the optimum lyrics in the world, but if you record it over the wrong beat the song won’t be a hit. The optimum thing to do is to find a beat that fits your style or write to a beat.

Furthermore make shore your hook sounds nice with the beat. The worse thing is to have a nice verse and when it comes to the hook it falls short. When purchasing a beat the best thing to do is find the best beat for the lowest price.

Another thing is to get a beat you could use for life. There’s hardly anything wrong with leasing a beat but you could get into many inconvenience if you make a hot song and the time on the beat is up. The individual who owns the beat could not want to re-lease it to you for any number of reasons. Some of these reasons can be the individual wants to use the beat for them self, they want to sell the beat to a more create artist, they want you to pay a ridicules amount or just they don’t like the kind of song you made.

It will save you quite a bit of trouble to have a beat you know you could use any time for years to come. Having original beats on your demo will show record labels that you are meaningful about your career. A web site that has some nice original beats is http://upbeat.tk which is highly recommended. If you follow these pointers purchasing a beat will now be simple and more important ly stress free.
