Posted by Jam in Jubilee on Tuesday, July 28, 2020
Adam Soloway of First Date Touring joined me all the way from Winnipeg to offer guidance about touring (mostly during non-COVID times) and how best to win over booking agents.
Questions included:
- What makes an artist appealing to a booking agent?
- When is the right time to look for a booking agent?
- What kind of visa do you need to tour in another country and how do you get it? How much is it?
- Would you recommend doing a Canadian tour over going to other countries (in a normal world)?
- What countries are best to tour and easiest to get visas?
- Do bands necessarily need a booking agent to book a tour?
- What kind of gigs are not possible without a booking agent?
- How many shows should I be playing a year?
- How do I get a guarantee?
