The Empire Agency

One of the biggest dilemmas that emerging artists face in their careers is deciding when it’s the right time to turn over show booking to someone else’s professional capable hands. You may have great musical chops, but when it comes to booking gigs, communication and connections are key. Reaching out to venues is much more than just the copy and paste of a link in an email.

Booking agents act as a sort of spokesperson for the client and can aid in gaining venues’, promoters, celebrities, and major record labels trust. They’re there to relay why you deserve to play, especially if you've never played at a particular venue before. A good booking agent likely has a relationship with them already, and can communicate well with them. Booking agents are also able to navigate the venue’s schedule, which may not always be up to date online.

 Booking is just as much about having solid relationships with the client as with the venues. At The Empire Agency, we really value our close relationships with our clients. “They become part of a family and community that we hope to continually strengthen.”
