Thanks for posting this video. Hopefully it will help our band "Almost Skynard". We are good at performing but not very good at promoting ourselves.

[@phillybluessociety2715]

Granted I'm on the lowend but consider any musical event as a social...I figure maybe 10 pct of audience is there for the music.....others are there because some else is with them.....and something to do......imo

[@stephanpartipilollc]

So if you're lucky enough to get a supporting gig, go back 6+ months afterward and try to do your own show, establish a fanbase in that area, assuming demographics are in your favor?

I don't have money, no reliable transportation, I was hoping these booking agents would just use the videos I hand them
