Most bands definitely don't have the money. I love that you do it because you love it. Same goes for me as a Tour Manager/Booking Agent

I have 13 years experience in Tour Managing/Booking Agent/Press Agent/Merchandise Manager. I am looking to expand my contact to take on more tour runs. Most bands I have worked with in the past are no more. How do you go about hiring your tour staff? Any advice on how to make myself known to other musicians/managers?

I manage 2 bands that after a decade have a dedicated cult following. We need to tour 200+ cap venues. Both are on small labels, but I have done all the knuckle work in the press. Both are considered indie darlings. including the Dean of all Rock Critics naming one of them "the best band in America you've haven't heard". Both will have new albums out in 2013 and we'll tour. What advice can you give me to help elevate them to the next level and get them on your radar?
