Shout-out to listener Laura for this week’s topic!
When booking a gig, both musicians and venues come to the table with a set of expectations—but do those expectations always align? In this episode of The Solo Musician Podcast, we dive into the crucial conversation of what artists expect from venues and what venues expect in return.
From fair compensation and professional treatment to promotion efforts and audience engagement, we break down the key points that both sides need to understand for a successful partnership.
We’ll cover:
✅ Why venues should promote performances as much as musicians do
✅ The importance of clear communication and mutual professionalism
✅ What makes a gig financially viable for both the artist and the venue
✅ How musicians can draw and retain audiences to keep venues thriving
Whether you're a seasoned performer or just stepping into the live music scene, this episode will help you navigate the gigging world with confidence and clarity.
Tune in now, and let’s bridge the gap between venues and musicians—one gig at a time! 🎵✨
