In this recent post on MusicThinkTank, contributor Dave Cool lays out the eight essential pages every music website simply must have in order to be functional and successful.
“4) Shows/Calendar: If you perform live, another essential element to have on your website is a ‘Shows’ or ‘Tour’ section. Make it easy for fans to get info about your upcoming gigs, with details on showtimes, cover charges, opening bands, and the venue.
This is also a great page to showcase one of your best live videos so fans (and bookers) can get a taste of what to expect if they come see your show.”
