How do you actually get your band booked? Which venues should you approach? What makes a good booking email? And once you want to play outside your own area, how do you begin putting together a tour that makes sense?

Phil Simon of Simon Says Booking brings more than 30 years of experience booking bands and programming venues to this practical introduction to booking and touring for independent musicians.

We’ll cover the dos and don’ts of approaching venues, how to find rooms that are a good fit for your music, communicating with bookers, and the basics of routing a tour.

Designed as an overview for independent and DIY musicians who want to better understand how booking works, avoid common mistakes, and gain the confidence to start getting their music into the right rooms.
