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

IS 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.

The Trials & Tribulations of A Trailer Trash Housewife

Caitlyn Renee on Youtube
Caitlyn Renee's website

TheatreReview.com is amongst the first to post a positively glowing review of the southeastern premiere of Del Shores' stage production -
"The Trials & Tribulations of a Trailer Trash Housewife".

Alma Mater said: "It may seem odd to start a review of The Trials and Tribulations of a Trailer Trash Housewife with an aside about Julia Roberts, but the connection is this: there are two performances, in this well-crafted, well-paced and exceedingly well-acted production, that made me all tingly, with that "I'm watching greatness being born" feeling I got the first time I saw Julia Roberts on screen."

How Can I Ease The Pain

Welcome to my blog

WELCOME… WELCOME… WELCOME…
Hello everyone, welcome to my new blog. I hope you like it. This is very exciting because it provides me with yet another wonderful outlet for reaching you, my many loyal fans. Even more amazing, it allows you to reach out to me. I have many great ideals for this site, and as time allows, I will gradually implement them. I am also open to any marvelous suggestions that you may have. I welcome your comments.

My youtube channels – www.youtube.com/namartin2 & www.youtube.com/caitlynrenee are still active, but most of my newer postings will be found right here at www.CaitlynRenee.com. So please take the time to subscribe to all of my channels and blog. Subscribing will allow you to receive instant notification of new video uploads.

I am ranting now because I am so excited, but allow me to share with you my good news. Two months ago I entered a talent contest at Café 290 called “Who’s got that Vibe”. I am told that my initial performance was truly something special, thereby enabling me to qualify as a finalist in this competition. I sang a few classics by Whitney Houston, Billie Holiday and Teena Marie. A few weeks ago, I officially became the winner of the 11th season of this show. It is an incredible feeling competing and winning events like this, but this one was truly special. One of the prizes for winning is being automatically entered into a new Fox Network talent show, similar to American Idol. Yes, this spring I will be performing on national tv and everyone will get to see how multifaceted CaitlynRenee truly is.

I do have some pretty good stuff here. And just in case you were wondering, the winning song was Lisa Fischer’s grammy winning classic - “How Can I Ease The Pain” – [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAH0YqSBAU0 ]

I would like to thank all of my loyal fans (colleagues & friends of my parents at Google & Ikon, students & staff at Duluth & Meadowcreek High, and my many relatives and associates throughout America) for your support, but now more than ever, I will need your continued support. Please share my site with all of your friends, family and colleagues. As springtime approaches, it would be wonderful to have a large group of fans from all over America looking forward to seeing me, Caitlyn Renee on FOX TV.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You
