Optimized Gigging


The first step to booking more and better gigs is playing your heart out at the ones you’re already getting, but that’s pretty intuitive. Of course playing a good (and effective) gig is largely about preparation, but this means more than diligent rehearsal. What’s equally important is being prepared to network. This means having a quick and charismatic line ready to describe your music to bloggers, booking agents, or anyone with an interest. It also means having meaningful and goal-oriented communication with the other bands such as discussing future gigs together and trading info on key contacts. For those with a stronger stomach, you should also print business card to exchange with anyone "important" and get a running start on working up the nerve to ask for theirs.
