This is part 1 of a 2 part feature about booking shows as an independent or emerging artist with our professional Cody Mack!
He's a freelance drummer, bassist and rhythm guitarist, as well as a Booking Agent and Talent Buyer and sound guy for some events out of Edmonton.
We brought him in to talk about booking show this week.
Our best advice - be helpful, hungry and hands on!
Originally we were going to have just one episode about venue booking, but Cody and I get talking and you know... we had an amazing conversation about Booking and Talent Agents and what they are looking for when they are looking to hire new talent, what your roll is as an artist when it comes to show bookings and what the venue's job is too. We also talk about open mic nights and how you can use them to promote yourself in the best way! We also talk about what Cody's process is when he's booking artists for venues. Part 2 will focus on how you can book your own shows with success! Follow us at @__studio__b__ and follow Cody at @iamcodymack!
