Greetings Local and touring artists and all music fans.
This is Donovan Lyman from Hollowbody LA. Now booking:
Viper Room (Random nights on the mainstage & Thursdays in The Green Room, downstairs acoustic lounge, on the Sunset Strip, 8852 W. Sunset Blvd. West Hollywood, CA 90069)
Acoustic Cordiale (Wednesdays at Cafe Cordiale, 14015 Ventura Blvd, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423 www.myspace.com/cordiale)
Trip Santa Monica (Acoustic, Hollowbody Sundays and Electric, Solidbody Fridays. 2101 Lincoln Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90405)
The Catherine Hotel Lounge (Sending bands to Catalina Island for the weekend
for two shows and tons of fun)
We're highly interested in working with any talented, hard working artists that could help us fill seats and bring the night to life with their music..
Some important thoughts:
It’s the musicians and their fans that keep music venues open around Los Angeles. I urge you to remind yourself that any gig worth booking is worth promoting. Scheduling shows too close together saturates your fanbase. Performing a show without having promoted it well, is bad for everyone involved. You’re hurting and disappointing the establishment and the booker/promoter. You may be causing the two or three people that showed up to see you, to question whether or not they’re supporting the right artist. You don’t earn any money or sell any merchandise and needless to say, it’s no fun playing for an empty room. Success is achieved on all levels and favorable reputations are forged through diligence in not only your performance, but your promoting efforts. As a very busy artist myself, I've always felt that until I land the cover of Rolling Stone or have a song cracking the top 10, that promotion must be half of my craft. I've created a "Promo Tools" tutorial. Please refer to our BLOG if you want some solid tips to fortify your current promo methods.
Thanks for hearing me out. See you at the shows!
