From the Publisher
On the Road Again: A Favorite Tool of Enterprising Performing Artists Returns to Books Shelves and Touring Buses

The young Martha Graham would have probably loved it, and so would have the Beatles before they met George Martin. BOOKING & TOUR MANAGEMENT FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS by Rena Shagan has guided generations of solo artists and performing groups of all types on the road to success. Written by a veteran of the booking and touring business, this classic reference tool has now completely been updated to provide performers, tour organizers and agents with everything they need to book performances, build tours, and become welcome performers at the myriad performing spaces throughout the United States and abroad.

Whether your group requires two oversized touring buses, or even if you have never ventured across the border of your home base, BOOKING & TOUR MANAGEMENT will enable performers and group managers to make the smart decisions that are necessary to guarantee a successful road show, from identifying frequently overlooked expenses, choosing the right insurance, and creating realistic budgets to assuring their group’s safety and well-being on the road and on stage. Packed with a Tour Manager’s Resource kit, checklists, calendars, schedules and tour budget models for groups and tours of all sizes, this classic resource book leaves nothing to chance.
