Im just thinking out loud here.. you know, I remember when folks that booked entertainment for clubs used to do as much work promoting their coming shows as the artists, sometimes more. It sadly seems, much of the time these days that all of the responsibility of promotion is laid solely on the performer. That is a sad state of affairs. Why you ask? Look at it this way- When you run a club or venue, the majority of your business should be regular clientele, that know that any night you have entertainment is going to be a good time. Its nice to get new customers, but please lets at least share the load! Too often I see talent buyers only promoting the acts that they are friends with, or play a certain genre of music, I see this especially via social media. If you are in the business and are going to promote, please promote every show you book. That playing favorites game is really unprofessional, and it doesnt make you look good either..
