[QUOTE="Brian jojade, post: 23059, member: 211"] Re: Booking Agents... (Kinda Rant) If you have the time and ability to book enough jobs to keep yourself busy, then a booking agent makes no sense. However, if you realize that you don't have the time or connections to fill your calendar, finding a good booking agent can really help. Yes, agents will take a cut, and should be expected to do so. The hard thing is finding a GOOD agent. There are so many out there that just try and fill the calendar. They don't care about filling YOUR calendar specifically. They may have 100 bands that they represent, and for any customer that comes along select a band to fill the slot. These agents really aren't doing much for you, as they are not promoting you, they are promoting themselves. When you find a good agent that will get out and promote YOU, that's when they are worth 20% of the cut. [/QUOTE]
