Here is the main question or issue that I continually see....
1. My state always gets passed over on tours.
- Here is one of the main reasons. Lack of time. Bands have to take time off of their normal paying jobs in order to tour. People here in the USA only have limited amount of time that they can take off.
- Not many promoters in those areas are unwilling to take a chance on a tour or on a band unless it is a radio playing artist.
- The last thing is routing. Even if bands have enough time to take off of work. Some areas can be out of the way. Instead of having 1 paid show and taking a day off to travel... they can have 2 paying shows.
(* this is my own opinion on this issue. not sure what other agents feel about this. *)
What do you think Hoyt?
