tired of getting screwed? ---booking contract

[kylek]

would a mod please see it in their infinite wisdom and kindness to sticky this?


Okay, here's the deal.

I'm tired of getting screwed and I know that most of you guys are as well.

I have written a booking contract that is currently being reviewed by a lawyer... (thank you to Cathy Serrano).

I am going to make this available to anyone who would like it. If you would, just reply here, pm me, or email me so I can get your email address.

My email is kyle.knerr@hotmail.com
it will be in a MS word format.

Check out NOLA Press they have a great line of contracts, budget charts, touring budget charts, contract riders...etc..to do with music, publishing...etc...

Also....get hold of any American Federation of Musicians contract form and review it.

Glad to someone out there getting wise to the Ft Wayne method of screwing musicians.

Now all you have to do is get the venue to sign it, good luck.

Yeah RS....I blame it on the MAN trying to keep the players down.

kill whitey.

Now all you have to do is get the venue to sign it, good luck.

And get the other 500 bands in town to agree not to book with any venue that doesn't abide by it.

Good Luck Indeed.

OMG...are we finally talking .."solidarity.."? God forbid.......but it's definately not a bad idea, but alas,..it's one that will never happen

It is definitely unfortunate that all the bands can't unite. However it would seem that each band has a different set of experiences at different venues. It is unfortunate but there are just way too many bands in Fort Wayne for that sort of solidarity to take place.
