touring
TOURING helps you navigate the live music industry to turn local gigs into profitable regional and national tours. We focus on strategic routing, market selection, and understanding how to pitch to talent buyers so you can build a sustainable touring footprint and perform in front of the right crowds.
self-starter:An educational and guidance-first track for artists ready to book their own shows. We review your routing, teach you how to negotiate guarantees, and guide you on when and how to approach venues - giving you the exact strategy and email templates needed to pitch talent buyers successfully on your own.
co-pilot: A hands-on booking track where our team steps in to actively direct your touring strategy. We map out your routing, identify the highest-value markets for your genre, establish hard deadlines for your tour rollouts, and dictate exactly when and how your live business is executed. (see more specifics below).
TOURING FAQ
-
Yes. The purpose of this service is to help artists build and expand their touring footprint. Our focus is booking regional (2-3 states away) weekenders and short runs. We do not do anything longer than 7 days for development clients.
-
Yes, and no.
For artists enrolled in the Co-Pilot track, we are officially your booking agent. You will be included on the website for standout touring, and we will properly contract all of your dates.
However, the scope of our services to you is limited to the limits outlined in the question above: booking dates up to seven days.
The only exception is if we secure you a slot supporting one of our other artists.
However, please understand that there is a priority level when it comes to the artists on our booking roster.
We cannot, and will not, submit every artist for every opening that we come across.
-
For Co-Pilot artists, we collect 10% of any payouts you receive - after a discount.
We apply your artist fee ($300) to the total of any payouts from a given show or tour, and commission the difference.
For Example: You bring in $1,000 over a weekend, we discount $300 to bring your total to $700. We commission 10% of that ($70).
If you bring in less than $300, we do not add on any commission.
We also do not commission any hometown shows that you set up yourselves.
