If you’re an artist trying to book shows without a manager or booking agent, this segment breaks down what booking actually looks like when you’re starting from scratch.

This isn’t about hype, flyers, or “just DM the venue.”
It’s a practical framework for understanding how venues think, how shows really get on the calendar, and what you need in place before you reach out.

The focus is on the mechanics of booking—how to evaluate venues, how to approach them with a real plan, and how to avoid the common mistakes that lead to wasted effort and disappointing outcomes.

In this video, you’ll learn:

What “booking a show” really means early in your career

Why many venues don’t operate the way artists assume

How to approach a venue with a lineup concept, not just a flyer

What to evaluate before deciding where to play

How to avoid bad fits that hurt momentum and reputation

This segment is designed for artists who want to build consistency and credibility—not shortcuts.
