not all promoters rent out the venue. you can just book a night a venue and let the venue get a cut of your gross (10-40% depending no the venue) in addition to possible venue costs to cover sound guy and any other personnel who is on duty ($75-$350…
before you think about paying yourself, analyze what your costs are: are you renting out the space or booking a show with the venue? how much are you gonna put towards promotion? are you hiring someone to do publicity? are you hiring someone to help…

- Tell us about yourself
- So I’m 24. I live in Brooklyn. Music has been the one of the only things I’ve been passionate about. The pursuit of new music is a reason to wake up in the morning and trying to expose that music is why I can’t sleep at night.
When I graduated college, I flirted with the idea of law school, but I soon came to the realization that I wanted to be a part of the music industry in whatever capacity I could. I got an internship with Ropeadope Records and my life has been constructive chaos ever since. I have dipped my hands in most aspects of music: marketing, booking, promoting, stage management, tour management, journalism, and A&R. I take pride in my ability to learn by doing and am always on the watch to be as educated and informed as I can be about the music business as well as upcoming bands.

Subscription Services: Another Piece of the Pie
On Friday night, after seeing my buddy Ian and his band MJ Project (instrumental prog-rock-electronica), I met up with another friend, who is a band manager. We did the generic "how have you been???" initial convo and then we got to shooting the shit for a bit (despite the bar getting drastically louder and more packed as we spoke).

As for I Am travel insurance, I Said, kudos to Neil for suggesting that she change the "New York" reference to Arizona since that is her homestate. And her smile, after remembering to do so, was rather infectious. Brooke's I Am, I Said certainly lacked the heft of Diamond's powerful original, but it was not bad. As Randy noted, this song is difficult with all the octave changes and melodic shifts. This performance is in the Top 3 tonight. She connected with the song.
David A: "They're coming to America," he sang, and after this cloying, syrupy Archuleta performance, I'd like to move to Canada mortgage calculator. He sings every song the same I'm starting to notice. Calculating move, not unlike Kristy Lee doing God Bless the USA a month ago, playing to the masses.
Syesha: Thank the Lord for the Nighttime. Thank the lord for Syesha tonight. The only one to score twice on her selections. She, like Brooke on I Am I Said, connected with the song and also picked a good one with soul. She's not a great singer but she's got a winning personality, lovely smile, and she's a good performer, maybe the best of the remaining bunch. Cook has his fans, but he's got a cocky side I find to be a turnoff health insurance. Syesha, lately, has been a pleasure. Simon says she's a good actress/singer but thinks she might be in trouble tonight owing to less than memorable second song. He might be correct in that she could be voted off, given viewers' lack of taste (keeping foolish Jason in, for instance) but if she goes, it's not because she should.
Prediction: The absolute pits, on both songs, Jason. I'd like to think America has its eyes and ears open and can see the total lack of talent here and save us from another week of this drivel from this contestant real estate. But since this is a popularity contest and Syesha wound up in bottom two last week despite a strong performance maybe Simon's right. Shame.

- Hi David,
I am currently acting as a start up manager for a new artist. She has been searching for songs in which she can lease or license to record on her first demo. Unfortunately, she has not been able to find local songwriters within our city. I am wondering if you would have any suggestions or know of any resources that could possibly assist her regarding this matter. Thanks.
