Jason Parker just returned from a two-week West Coast tour with his band, The Jason Parker Quartet. The tour was a huge success on all fronts, and Parker learned a ton acting as booking agent, PR firm, marketing director, tour manager, driver, band leader and trumpet player!
Wearing all those different hats really showed him what it takes to launch a successful tour. The JPQ had a great time, played all sorts of cool venues, sold tons of CD's, made contacts along the way and even came home with money in our pockets...so much so that Parker was able to pay the band 50% more than originally planned!
Since this is all so fresh in his mind Parker thought he'd give a touring seminar to share what he learned in the hopes that it can help you have a successful tour as well. With all the negative talk about the industry and the economy, Parker want to show that it can be done. With a little planning and some good ideas you too can have a fun, successful and profitable tour!
Parker will hold the seminar live on Ustream on Wednesday, June 2nd at 6:00pm Pacific Time (click here to see what time that is where you are). Topics will include: booking the tour, contacting clubs, writing and sending press releases, budgeting, equipment rental, finding accommodations and anything else that comes up. The bulk of the time will be spent taking your questions and answering them as best he can, so come prepared with some topics you'd like him to discuss.
The seminar is free of charge!
The goal here is simply to share what he has learned and help you live your dream, just as he lived his!
If you can't make the live broadcast, it will be recorded and be available to stream after the fact.
