Most of you think “it’s all about the song…I don’t need to put on a big show.” Well, great songs are definitely important, but if that’s all the audience cared about, they can listen to your songs at home or in the car. But you want people to come and see you live, right? It’s so important for the audience to make that emotional connection, not just with your songs, but with YOU.
If you stand behind a mic with your guitar the entire night, that’s not very exciting. As a singer/songwriter, speaking to an audience is especially critical. We’ll help you learn how to tell the stories behind the music and turn those songs into really memorable moments. Unless you’re content to be coffeehouse circuit background music, you need the skills to make yourself stand out as an artist and make real fans of your music AND your concerts! We can show you what to do visually to make those songs come alive and keep the audience interested. Listen to what these singer/songwriters had to say:
“Wow! Spending a day with Tom and Amy was by far the wisest financial choice we have made for our ministry in a very long time. This industry is filled with consultants making lots of promises, but Tom and Amy delivered tangible results. Throughout the day, we kept looking at each other and asking, "Why didn't we do this sooner?" We look forward to a very positive return on our investment!” — (Gene and Carol Shreve, singer/songwriters, Fayetteville, TN)
Think about it…you spend time, money and effort on your recordings, your gear, and your website, but how much work do you put into perfecting your concerts? Did you know that 95% of your revenue comes from your live shows? If you’d like to make a living doing music, then it only makes sense to spend most of your time, money and effort into putting a great show together. And, a great show means: more fans, bigger audiences, increased CD and merchandise sales, return bookings, and more website traffic.
