Episode 26

Hello and thanks for swinging by this podcast!

This week I’m diving into something that every band asks themselves at one point or another.

“How do we get offered better shows?”

It’s something I’ve spent many years pondering over LOL! But more importantly “learning” what you need to do to progress as a band (or artist) and ramp up the shows you play.

First off we need to define what a “Better” show is. More people? More pay? Better venues? Opening slots for bigger bands? These are all variables that you need to consider when setting your goals on growing your live shows.

Assuming you’re similar to 98% of us out there and you do most of your booking etc. on your own, you’ll want to listen to this episode as I break down the important things to remember and consider if you want your show offers to get bigger and better.

In This Podcast You Will Learn

1). Why creating and using “Leverage” is the most important concept for bands when looking to take the next step into seeking out bigger shows.

2). Why it’s important to have something to offer musically as a band or project and to work on being the best version of your selves in order to start building leverage.

3). How networking locally and spreading your name and presence among your scene helps build brand recognition and can slowly help create great opportunities for you down the road.

4). Why focusing on your current show schedule and coming up with ways to make them the best they can be is crucial to learning how to promote yourself which, over time will help you gain better leverage.

5). The importance of implementing your shows, promotion, and overall operation consistently and how that makes all the difference which sets you apart from other bands that don’t do it.

Thanks for taking the time to listen to this podcast. I know time is the most valuable commodity these days so I appreciate it greatly.

Hopefully you were able to pull some value from this podcast and pick up a few tips on how to get better offers for shows and how to grow your own fan base.

Gigging and getting “bigger” is a common goal among most artists and there is no right or wrong way to do it. But there are commonalities between successful artists that can be translated into game plan for just about anyone if done with hard work and consistency.

As always, I wish you guys the best and we’ll see you at the next episode.

Peace N Love,

Mike
