“What kind of music are you going to book? You need to decide if you want to focus on a specific genre or book an eclectic mix of bands. At the very least, you should make sure that each night’s show has bands that fit well together. The size of the venue and the style of the local music scene will generally dictate what kind of music you book. Look online to figure out what bands are popular in your area and try to book those acts.”
