The book is very well laid out and has such great information that I have stopped reading all of my other music business books and have started focusing solely on the content of this book. MusicianHow to Be Your Own Booking Agent by Jeri Goldstein, has been the most inspiring and influential music business book I have ever had the privilege of reading.

They may also fill in some much-needed mid-week dates to round out a tour.ĭo you play college gigs? Have you considered doing so if you haven’t yet? What might be holding you back from checking out colleges as another performance opportunity? For now, though, college gigs for fall are a great way to add a date to your upcoming tour that just might put some unexpected dollars in your pocket. College campuses have numerous performance opportunities other than through the student activities office and I’ll discuss those in the next few weeks. If you are planning tours through towns that have colleges nearby, I highly recommend you add them to your call list. Make it a priority to speak with the adviser any time you’re booking college gigs. The student adviser is also the one who will be signing any contracts. This is so important since student committee members often change during the semester and certainly over the course of the year. If you do have to wait to speak with a student committee chair, you’ll at least have contacted the adviser in case you have any problems later down the road. Then you can discover when the students will be returning. So, by calling now, you connect with the student adviser and get a chance to find out what dates are still open and what events are being planned. Sometimes, this is booked before students leave in the spring and other times it may be booked by students who remain on campus during the summer session. So now is the perfect time to connect with the student activities adviser, get their contact info and perhaps begin discussing some early college gigs for fall events for the returning students. Meanwhile, it is likely that the student activities adviser or director of student affairs is probably around getting things ready for the student’s return. It’s true that many of the students won’t be on campus right now, but in a week or two, they start returning. It is the perfect time for booking college gigs for fall.
