What are some of the ways an artist can kill their career?

UPDATE - Saturday has been resolved and Friday is pending. Thanks.

Need a Country band for Friday. Also need a band for the lake on Saturday! Send PM's ONLY, I will not respond here. Central KY

As of 7/15/2024, we are officially an LLC. This has been a year one goal for us. This will help us in our long term plans.

We are no longer taking booking only submissions. Officially we have moved towards the direction of only booking artist we manage or are already on the roster for booking.

Our new secondary goal is to do more talent buying for venues, events, and festivals.

If you had to chose between playing music you wanted to play and never being successful or playing what a label told you to play and make millions... What would you do?

Welp LLC paperwork is filed. Now we wait.

Who is one artist you would want to perform with?

As a musician on the road, some of the hardships I face include long hours of traveling, lack of proper rest and sleep, dealing with homesickness, and constantly being away from loved ones. Additionally, navigating through different cities and countries, facing unpredictable weather conditions, and managing finances can also pose challenges. Despite these difficulties, the thrill of performing live music and connecting with audiences makes it all worthwhile.

There are two goals of the business that need to happen. Need another venue to talent buy for and manage at least 5 artists / bands by the end of the year..... Let's go!

Booking a tour can be a challenging task, especially when it comes to routing. Figuring out the best itinerary and ensuring that all the necessary stops are included can be quite daunting. However, with careful planning and attention to detail, it is possible to overcome this obstacle and create a memorable and enjoyable tour experience.

Trying to book artists who don't have the proper promotional kits can be a challenging task. Without the necessary materials to showcase their work and talent, it becomes difficult to attract the attention of event organizers, agencies, and audiences. Promotional kits, which usually include items such as high-quality photos, bios, press releases, and samples of their work, are essential for creating a professional image and establishing credibility in the industry.

Without these tools, artists may struggle to stand out among the competition and secure bookings for gigs, performances, or collaborations. Event organizers often rely on promotional kits to evaluate the quality and suitability of an artist for their event, making it crucial for artists to have these materials readily available.

To overcome this obstacle, artists without proper promotional kits can consider investing time and resources into creating them. This may involve hiring a professional photographer, writer, or designer to help craft compelling promotional materials that accurately represent their brand and talent. Additionally, artists can leverage social media platforms and online channels to showcase their work and reach a wider audience, even without traditional promotional materials.

In conclusion, while booking artists without the proper promotional kits may present challenges, it is not impossible to overcome. By investing in creating high-quality promotional materials and leveraging digital platforms, artists can increase their visibility, attract more opportunities, and ultimately achieve success in the competitive entertainment industry.

Indie Artist Booking and Management is shifting its focus from primarily booking to Artist Management and Development for several strategic reasons:

1. **Efficiency and Return on Investment**: Booking artists alone often entails a significant amount of work with minimal financial return. By investing in artist development, the company can enhance the marketability of its artists, making them easier to book and potentially increasing the financial return for both the artists and the company.

2. **Artist Growth and Longevity**: Developing artists involves nurturing their talents, honing their skills, and strategically planning their careers. This approach not only helps artists grow but also ensures they have sustainable and successful careers, which benefits both the artists and the management company in the long term.

3. **Comprehensive Support**: By shifting to artist management and development, the company can offer more comprehensive support to its artists, including marketing, branding, social media management, and career planning. This holistic approach can make a significant difference in an artist’s success and visibility.

4. **Market Adaptation**: The music industry is constantly evolving, and the demand for well-developed, self-sufficient artists is growing. By focusing on development, the company positions itself to better meet industry needs and stay ahead of trends.

5. **Increased Bookability**: A well-developed artist is more appealing to venues and promoters, which reduces the effort required to secure bookings. By investing in artist development, the company can make its roster more attractive to potential buyers, streamlining the booking process.

While talent buying for venues will remain a service, the strategic shift towards artist management and development aims to create a more sustainable and impactful business model for both the artists and the company.

What a lineup!

😭

We are turning the lights out at The Wounded Ostrich for the last time. From every Texas Country song that filled this space to every two-step on the dance floor, we want to thank y’all for being part of our journey and for all the incredible memories.

It’s shake n bake, and we helped!

🚨 Our JUNE MUSIC line up is here!!! 🚨

*sorry for the delay!!!*

Big things are coming. With the addition of several new faces on the team, we are going to be adding a new division of the mix. Plans are in the works, but for the sake of clarity and keeping a vision ahead of where we are now, we will be separating into a Country/Bluegrass/Folk/Americana Division and a Pop Division. Not quite sure how it is going to look at this time, so stay tuned.

Look at our boys Blacktop Rodeo over at the Kentucky State Fair
