Bandsintown LIVE Celebrates Memorial Day With A Special Live Stream Concert On Country & Americana Show OUTSKIRTS

OUTSKIRTS brings weekly intimate performances from the best voices in country, folk, and Americana as part of Bandsintown LIVE’s newly expanded programming.

Live shows and an intimate connection with the audience are the lifeblood and livelihood of country, folk, and Americana artists. As concerts remain in limbo, Bandsintown is helping artists spark that connection in new ways.

As part of Bandsintown LIVE, the wildly successful daily music channel, the live performance discovery platform hosts OUTSKIRTS, a dedicated country, folk and Americana show that presents performances from emerging and established artists every Monday.

Bandsintown LIVE "Outskirts"
Kickoff Lineup for Monday, May 25, 2020

2pm ET / 11am PT: Mary Gauthier
3pm ET / noon PT: Birds of Chicago
4pm ET / 1pm PT: No. 1 Knife (joint project by Sally Jaye + Brian Wright)
5pm ET / 2pm PT: Jonathan Byrd and The Pickup Cowboys
Hosted by Wild Ponies

Memorial Day provides the perfect opportunity to gather a powerful lineup of spirited performers, beginning with Mary Gauthier, who's most recently released Grammy nominated album Rifles + Rosary Beads exclusively features songs co-written with American soldiers.

“It is my great pleasure to be able to jump on the Bandsintown platform to play a live show for folks on Memorial Day. As a traveling troubadour who usually plays well over 100 shows a year, being grounded has been a challenge. I am making the most of this time, but playing for folks is what I was put here to do,” says Mary Gauthier. “On May 25th, I look forward to singing several of the songs I co-wrote with veterans and their families, and talking about the experience of working with wounded veterans through the SongwritingWith:Soldiers program.”

The livestream, hosted by Nashville duo Wild Ponies, will celebrate the community of artists and fans who need each other right now, while honoring the contributions of veterans and their families to our country. It will feel as friendly as a backyard barbeque and as musically satisfying as your favorite festival, all from the comfort and safety of home.

“We made a deal as artists that we’d be there for our community when they need us. It’s an important part of what we do, maybe the most important part,” reflects Doug Williams of Wild Ponies. “We might not be able to climb up on a big festival stage right now, but thanks to Bandsintown, we can do this! It’s going to feel really good to hang out and talk with some friends, even through a computer screen.”

The Cut and Paste Band Bio

An oldie but a goodie. If you don’t have a cut and paste bio as an artist, then your bio isn’t doing much for you. And, maybe, you hadn’t even considered that your bio could be used as a marketing tool. Find out how to generate more opportunities in your music career with your bio.

Here’s What You Missed from This Week’s Music Career Tips Weekly

A lot of “experts” out there are talking about how to achieve success on social media as a musician right now.

To be honest, I don’t think the issue is that musicians are using the wrong social media channels. For that matter, the messaging musicians are using to promote their music isn’t the problem either.

The real challenge is they don’t know who they’re talking to.

The Cut and Paste Band Bio

This post originally appeared on Music Entrepreneur HQ.

A bio, like it or not, is a vital part of an artist’s marketing efforts. It is usually required for any type of press kit you put together (electronic or not), and it’s going to be seen and used by event promoters, magazine editors, venue owners, and industry reps alike.

A good bio can go a long way in getting you gigs and press clippings. The benefits are further reaching than you may even realize.

The tricky part is satisfying the needs of both industry people and your fans. If you can tell a compelling story with your bio, you’ll win over everyone who reads your bio. That’s why it shouldn’t merely be a list of your credentials. But I’ll talk more about that a little later.

What does an ideal bio look like? Read on…

Components of a Cut and Paste Bio

Frankly there is no better bio than a cut-and-paste bio. If someone can take exactly what you wrote and paste it directly into their article, website, blog post or otherwise, you’ve done your job.

Why? Because you want to create more opportunities for yourself. You want others to do your marketing for you. If you provide them with the right tools, you’ll be surprised to find how cooperative others can be.

But I have seen very few bios that don’t require some tweaking, editing, and in some cases, “creative restructuring”. I’m a writer by profession, so I’m an expert at spotting errors and polishing copy.

Plus, I’ve booked musicians for various events, and I’ve seen many bios that don’t instill much confidence in the event organizer (i.e. me).

So, let’s get your bio in ship shape.

A cut-and-paste bio requires the following components:

Proofreading

You’re the one who looks stupid when your bio is poorly written. If you’re not confident with your writing skills, you need to hire someone who is.

Some people aren’t detail-oriented. If that describes you, but you’re creative enough to write the bio in the first place, then get someone who is more attentive to proofread your document. A second set of eyes is especially valuable when you’re looking to engage readers.

Flow

Your bio should have a logical flow to it.

It should tell a story. People find it easy to relate to stories, and it’s far more interesting than just reading facts (you can find facts in the Yellow Pages – that doesn’t make it a compelling read!).

Additionally, your bio must be readable and legible. A bio doesn’t flow well when people have to stop and look up every word you’ve used (i.e. you’re not writing a term paper). If in doubt, keep sentences short and edit until you’re using the least number of words possible to get your message across.

The language you use doesn’t need to be overly simplistic but simple is generally better.

We all know a well-thought-out piece of writing when we see it. Imitate that! Two to three paragraphs are generally enough to convey what you are about and what you do.

Your Name, Where You Hail From and the Scene and Location in Which You Currently Reside and Work in

These things may seem incidental, but remember in most cases nobody knows who you are or where you’re from when they first start reading your bio. Consider the natural flow of conversation, “what’s your name?”, “where are you from?” are questions that are likely to come up when you meet someone.

Why is this important? If event organizers or venue owners are interested in booking you, they’re going to want to get a sense of where you reside and tour through. If you don’t tour, and they want to book you, they’re going to be disappointed to find out Chicago, IL is your home base, and they’re in New York, NY.

An Engaging Story

As I’ve been driving home throughout this post, your bio cannot simply be a list of credentials. Your accomplishments do not represent who you are or what your music sounds like. They do not reflect the experience you’ve had or how that’s shaped your musical preferences and sound. Your accomplishments have nothing to do with your brand.

When I’m reading about you, I want to learn something noteworthy about you. I don’t care a whole lot that a certain radio station played your music, or you were invited to play at a folk festival. These things can build credibility, but there’s nothing saying you couldn’t append a list to your bio mentioning all your major accomplishments.

Basically, save your accomplishments for another part of your site, one sheet or press kit. They are only relevant if they contribute to your overall story.

You need to be talking about those crazy road trips you’ve been on, volunteering at the homeless shelter, traveling the world, or how going to a foreign country was an eye opening experience. Things like that will speak to your audience.
