Before You Sign a Show Contract

Monday November 9, 2009

When you book a show with a promoter, a contract for that gig is likely to enter the picture (and if it doesn't enter the picture, it really should). The word "contract" has a way of putting everyone on the defensive, but when it comes to a contract for a gig, try to look at it more as an agreement to work together towards a share goal than a competitive, who-is-going-to-give-up-the-most kind of situation.

A good promotion contract will let both sides know is expected of them before, during and after the show and how any profits (or losses) will be shared. Learn more about promotion contracts.
