If you're in a local band that's just starting to get on it's feet, you know how hard booking shows or a small tour is. This is a friendly group of people devoted to indexing local bands, connecting each other, and getting show opportunities from all over the place.

This is a place for local bands, promoters, and venues to network with each other.

Here's how to post:

1) Tag your post with either [BS], [BT], or [NBTP].

[BS]= Booking Show (for individual shows)

[BT]= Booking Tour

[NBTP]= Need Band To Play (for specific shows/dates)

2) Include your genre, or the genre of band you'd like to find.

3) Include a general time frame and geographic area (ex: Southeast US/July 2013)

Put the genre of your band (or just "venue" or "promoter" if applicable), and your location in your flair!

This is a brand new subreddit, so any and all suggestions are welcome. Please spread the word about this subreddit! The more subscribers we have, the more functional this subreddit becomes!

New Emcee looking for first show(s) in the Central Florida area,

I'm from Baltimore but have lived in Daytona for a while. I've written since 14 but JUST started releasing music at 26 so I'm very behind but think my dedication and talent can get me where I'm supposed to be eventually.

here's some material for an idea of my sound. not your typical rapper, don't do "mumble" or try to be commercial, just make music how I want and keep it real. a good mix between my 90's influences and new age hiphop.

[BS] Chicago Funk\Fusion band S'pocket booking early 2014

S'pocket is an up-and-coming funk fusion band from Chicago, IL. Referring to their genre as "funk +", S'pocket brings much more to the table than what one would expect. Featuring dual horns, guitar, and rock solid rhythm section, the group delivers captivating compositions rooted in funk with elements of hip hop, jazz, rock and drum & bass. Many members of the group are music school grads, having attended the music programs at University of North Texas in Denton, TX and U of I in Urbana, IL.

We are starting to book shows for early 2014 and beyond. We'll take pretty much anything in the city (of Chicago) and surrounding areas. Willing to drive an hour out.

[BT] Slaves to the Pavement (melodic punk) looking to tour Southeast US/August 2013

I'm in a band from Ypsilanti, MI called Slaves to the Pavement and I'm trying to book a little 2 week tour in August in Southeast US in August. Not going to lie, don't really have many booking connections outside of IL, MI, and OH, so if you're in a band or know some awesome places to play in the Southeast we would greatly appreciate it. If any of you ever need some shows in Michigan I'm more than willing to get you in touch with some bookers and bands to return the favor.
