TOUR:SMART


TOUR:SMART
and Break the Band
with Martin Atkins

Wednesday, November 11
7:00 pm

Cicero's
6691 Delmar Blvd



The world of touring musicians is filled with dangers, obstacles, and roadblocks, both literal and metaphorical. Join TOUR:Smart and Break the Band author Martin Atkins for a candid and hilarious discussion of what bands can do to beat the odds and survive on the road intact.

This event is open to the public and FREE to attend

For over three decades, Martin Atkins has been at the cutting edge of where the entertainment industry is and where it's headed, whether through his work with Johnny Rotten's band, Public Image Limited, playing with Nine Inch Nails, touring the world with his own band, Pigface, or working with Beijing's emerging indie rock scene.

Martin was a member of Public Image Ltd and Killing Joke, has contributed to Nine Inch Nails and Ministry and founded industrial supergroup Pigface, The Damage Manual, and Murder Inc. Martin is a producer, drummer, documentary film maker, DJ, professor (Madison Media Institute, Columbia College) and most recently started his own entrepreneurial school, revolution number three. He has been organizing, booking, and managing multi-band package tours for over a decade.

In discussing his definitive book on touring, Martin will not only share valuable insight into his methods on booking and touring, but also a discussion of mistakes and failures.

In 90 minutes, you will learn:

* time-tested industry tips & techniques
* how to market oneself as a musician
* how to get more people to come to your shows
* and much more!

Martin's agenda will cover:

* the state of the music industry
* strategies for successful touring in the US
* why you must book yourself
* marketing
* packaging
* questions from the audience

Hey,
I am a young drummer and I am looking for musicians (keyboardist/organist, bass player, guitar player, and etc..) to start a Christian/Gospel band to back up a singing ministry. The music is along the lines of Tye Tribbett, Jars of Clay, Fred Hammond, Natalie Grant, Michael w. Smith, Toby Mac, Kirk Franklin, and so on. It will be blended with other styles as well (Maxwell, Jill Scott, etc..). This will be a band that will assist in ministering the Gospel. You can listen to a sample of me playing at WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/JJEMIN8. It is just a rough recording of me and our church keyboardist playing around after rehearsal. If this interests you, please let me know and God bless.

I am a 22 year old drummer who is looking for musicians (keyboardist, bass player, guitar, etc.) to start a cover/original band. For example, Maxwell, Maysa, Jill Scott, Ledesi, Chrisette Michelle, Chris Botti, Herbie Hancock, and more. I have been playing the drums for about 20 years and enjoyed every minute of it. I want to make this a career. I would like for us to do paid gigs, and other events as well. If you are interested, please respond. Trust me, I am serious about this and I am ready to get the ball rolling. God Bless!
