Preparation for a Good Gig

 

Here's all the preparatory work that went into last night's (1/14/10) successful gig--enjoy.

1.) Initially, communicated with the promoter regarding a booking.

2.) Checked the availability of my band members.

3.) Contacted the promoter again in order to solidify the dates at the club.

4.) Contacted my band members once again to finalize the dates...one more time

5.) My attorney sent out multiple email blasts to my fans telling and reminding our followers about the gig.

6.) My web designer created a large Facebook ad about the gig.

7.) I mentioned the gig several times on Facebook.

8.) I had my church send out a notice about my gig in their email blast.

9.) I dropped off multiple posters to the club so that they could advertise the gig.

10.) My web designer/radio host mentioned it on his jazz radio show.

11.) An article came out about me mentioning the gig.

12.) My drummer posted information on Facebook about the gig.

13.) Friends told their friends about the gig.

14.) More advertising was done by the Midwest Smoothjazz Society about the gig..

So you see, ladies and gentlemen, you just can't do enough advertising for a successful event. It went very well and was very well attended. Nothing is easy within the music business.
