It’s the last week to register for the summer semester of Grassroots Touring, a new course authored by music industry veteran Bruce Houghton, “With income related to live performances accounting for 60-80% of most musicians incomes, it has never been more important to build and sustain a touring career,” says Houghton.
Houghton is also the editor of Hypebot and MusicThinkTank and the president of the Skyline Artists Agency and a Senior Advisor to Bandsintown.
During the 12 week college level course, which debuts with the July summer semester, students will explore how to launch a touring career from scratch. They’ll learn how to create a memorable live performance; book, negotiate, and market only the right shows; capture a loyal fan base; tour regionally and nationally and build a success story that helps expand their entire career.
