This agreement simply tells us a little about you, and confirms that you understand and agree with how we work, our talent agreement & privacy policy. We promise to represent our gathering of talent with the same enthusiasm that you bring to your music. You’ll see ‘how we work’ below, along with our talent agreement & privacy policy.

Bottom line – STLBluesTALENT is a non-exclusive talent agency that wants to find you the very best gigs at the best pay.

  1. HERE’S HOW IT WORKS
    We’re a talent agency, and if we choose to work together, I’ll create a profile on you and your music for free (an EPK). I’ll use the standard promotional items you provide us – your bio, a good promo photo or two, your best YouTube, any media reviews, your stage plot & input list. I work  to get the fee you want, and to exceed that fee for you. My goal – getting bands booked at the very best events for the best pay possible.

    2. WHAT I WILL DO
    BOOKING – I’ll actively market your music profile out to the best national & international festivals & venues.

    FEES – I’ll work at no charge to get you the best price with the talent buyer, so you can focus on one thing….your music. 

    We are a free referral resource, dedicated to supporting our music scene, and have NO booking fee.
    Why? Because I love live music, and this is one way I can support it. Another way I try to help is the live music calendar over at STLBlues.net. If you haven’t yet, join right here!

    My goal – to not just help get you gigs, but to get you the best ones possible.

    3. WHAT I WON’T DO
    I won’t promise you work. I do promise I’ll actively seek it, and contact you ASAP when an opportunity arises.

    I won’t manage bands. I will work closely with every bandleader.

    I won’t spend time chasing low paying gigs. I want the big opportunities for you.

    3. WHAT YOU WILL DO
    – Provide us with your best/current promotional media.

    – Use your STLBluesTALENT profile page link in your ongoing social media marketing.

    – Create and maintain your STLBlues calendar account, this helps us in our marketing efforts.
