I’ve been a member of the music industry for over 40 years and I’ve been in a band since high school. I currently own a major independent record label, and manage some of the biggest bands in the world.
In this post I will give you a step-by-step guide on how to promote your band, tour and/or show.
Here is a video of me discussing my band “A Perfect Circle” and my other projects.
I will be constantly updating this post with more information as well as answering any questions you might have.

STEP 1: SETTING YOUR GOALS
Before you do anything in life it’s always important to set goals. Setting goals will help keep you on track while also staying motivated and focused. It’s important to set both short term and long term goals. Short term goals are smaller tasks that can be completed quickly such as creating a website or recording some music. Long term goals are bigger tasks that may take years to complete such as having your music played on the radio or booked for a large festival. You can achieve these short term and long term goals by following the steps below.
Every day I have the privilege of working with bands and musicians from around the world; from major label acts to independent start ups, I see a lot of common mistakes. Promoting your band has never been so complex; there are so many options and channels you can take in promoting your band and music.
In this guide I will talk about successful techniques and tools I use every day to promote my own music, as well as many of the artists I work with.

In early August I was approached by a good friend of mine about joining him on an exciting business venture.
We had been talking about it for months and we both thought that now would be a good time to do it.
The first thing we did was figure out what we wanted to offer people.
We decided that we wanted to offer people the ability to create their own website, with their own domain name and hosting.
We also wanted to offer them the ability to sell their products on their site and get paid for it.
After that, we went about designing our logo, website design, and logo design.
Once we had those things figured out, we started to develop our website.
I spent a lot of time working on the website design and making sure that it looked good and worked well.
When I finally finished it, I sent it off to my friend who is a graphic designer so he could make sure everything was correct.
After he checked everything out, he sent me an email telling me that the website looked great and he was happy with it.
Since then, I have made many changes to the website based on feedback from customers and other users.
If you want to create your own band or show website, there are many
I have many years of experience as a musician and a band manager, and I’m going to share everything I know with you. This guide is mostly aimed at bands who are just starting out, but if you’re already on the road and need to up your game, this should help.
Most of the advice on this page assumes that you have some kind of decent music to promote. If you don’t, go make it first. And if you don’t know how to make it, go learn.
If you’re ready to start building your band, then read on.
Okay folks, it’s time to talk about promotion. This is the most important step toward getting people to notice you (and your band) and come out to see you play. There are several different ways to spread the word about your shows, so I’ll just go over the basics here.
Promotional Posters:
First and foremost, you need posters. You can do these yourself on any graphics program if you have one. If not, you can always ask a friend who is good at graphics or find someone local to do them for you. These are typically 11″x17″ although half page posters are also acceptable (8.5″x11″ or 5 1/2″x8 1/2″). Make sure that they’re clear and easy to read, with all pertinent information clearly visible. Even if you create a beautiful poster full of artwork, no one will care if they can’t read it from across the room. The bare essentials are as follows:
*Date and time of show
*Location name and address
*Band names
*Admission price (if applicable)
*Contact information for those who need more info (email address, website link, etc.)
Your date should be in big letters near the top so that
