Booking National Artists for Public & Private Events
Did you know that you can book a national performing artist for public or private concerts with Key Signature Entertainment?
We primarily receive requests from clients for local or regional artists for their events, but often times, people are not aware that they can also secure national musicians to perform a full concert just for their event.
We think this disconnect may be due to the assumption that “national touring artists” are all inaccessible A-list celebrities with astronomically high fees, extravagant requests and diva-like attitudes, but this just isn’t true…most of the time.
So, what even makes someone a “national touring artist?” This term describes a musician or band with a pool of fans in each of several live music markets in multiple states across different regions of the country that are large enough to justify scheduling a national tour, rather than just performing in neighboring cities or states. Put plainly, it means they write and record original music and travel nationally to perform it.
Because of the logistics involved in scheduling a tour, these artists’ fees do tend to be higher than those of local and regional artists, but their shows also tend to be much more upscale and polished. As with local and regional acts, pricing is a spectrum and can compare to that of a smaller party band, or up to the price of a new mid-sized car, for instance, depending on the artist.
