[Dixielandjazz] Of interest to Eastern USA Bands

[Dixiejazzdata]

Want to preserve and promote OKOM and your band, treat it like a business, get out there where people are spending thousands of dollars to attract people with money in their pockets to spend, let them hear you and buy your CDs rotting away in the garage.  If you are any good you can and will book some well paid gigs from these events as well.


It's called LIVE marketing,  and is an excellent way to ADVERTISE your Band and Music.  I actually know bands that are making a living selling Cds at these kind of events every weekend and they are not even performing live.  Just have a booth play  and sell Cds and talk to people.


Most people attending these events have no idea how to find you or your music.
  If you are the ONLY OKOM band there you have a captive audience too,  lucky you.
Consider it a Live rehearsal and show your wares.


Cheers,
