(Hypebot) — With revenue related to live performances accounting for 80% of most artists’ income, it has never been more important for musicians to build and sustain a successful touring career. Touring 101 from the Berklee College of Music’s online school is designed to do just that.
The course is created and taught by Hypebot Editor Bruce Houghton.
A lifelong booking agent and president of the Skyline Artist Agency, Houghton is also a Senior Advisor for top global live music discovery platform Bandsintown and a founding Board member of the National Independent Talent Organization (NITO).
Created both for musicians and those who work with them, the course offers a journey from the earliest gigs through a first national tour, with students learning how to create a memorable live performance, book, negotiate, and market the right shows, capture a loyal fan base, and build a success story that can expand an entire career.
The Winter Semester of Touring 101 at Berklee Online starts on Monday, January 8th, and there’s still time to enroll.
