Music Promotion Basics 101

Music Promotion Basics 101

This post discusses most of the things you should expect from a music promotion agent/agency… Below are some of the basics of any good music promotional company

The main job of the music promoter is to promote, publicize & organize live shows

The music promoter will:

Be in charge of making sure the word gets out about that show. .

Secure a venue for a show

Promote the show via the media and via posters, flyers, niche blogs, magazines, social media, and the mainstream press when things get rolling.

Work with the band and/or agent to make sure all the show night needs are covered (PA system, lighting, etc), & nail down the specifics before the show

Most importantly, PAY THE BAND.

Often, a music promoter will have a set amount that is paid to the band, no matter how many people turn up, or a "door split" agreement... Door splits vary, but often they are 70/30 or 80/20, in favor of the band.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The music promoter should always have a meeting with you to discuss your kind of music & market

The music promoter and band should decide on the best course of promotional action to best get your sound out there.

The music promoter should help with refining your image and sound to properly market you via mainstream press when things get rolling.

"I DREAM" featuring Caitlyn Renee

logoIS A MUSICAL DRAMA BASED ON THE LIFE OF
REV. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.

As the story opens, we meet a young man learning what it means to grow-up in the segregated South in pre-war America. We follow his early experiences which will have an ultimate impact on his life’s work, as he takes his place in the vanguard of the Civil Rights Movement through to 1968.

Rising beyond the harrowing and bitter social turmoil that unfolds on American streets during this violent era, I Dream shines a light on the glory of human determination to overcome oppression and injustice - despite, seemingly, insurmountable odds.

The work, entirely through-composed, dramatically portrays a range of sharply-defined characters, each as integral to the story as the civil rights leaders themselves: from the unforgiving lives of sharecroppers in South Georgia to the brave citizens of Atlanta, Birmingham, Selma, Chicago and Memphis; from the judges who legislated change to the preachers and police who defended or resisted it.

This is a story honoring the indomitable spirit of the many men, women and children of differing class, color and creed who chose to stand for equality; and the many who fell along that long road to freedom.

I Dream is a musical celebration of that journey, through the life and work of a man whose prophetic and historical significance would become legend. The story of the late Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is now a major new rhythm-&-blues opera opening in Atlanta on July 9, 2010.

A man, who would be King...

Presented by Musical-Dramatic Arts and directed by acclaimed actress Jasmine Guy, best known for her role as Whitley Gilbert in the 1990s hit series ‘A Different World’, the through-composed work is an inspirational portrayal of the civil rights leader from his early years through to the end of his life.
