The Road Case
Twenty years of road lessons. Free.
The stuff nobody tells a new band: what to ask before you say yes to a show, how the merch table becomes your raise, why song splits get agreed in a text the day you write, and how to actually get paid. Use it on your own. If you'd rather have it handled, that's what the roster is for.
Ask these before you say yes. Even for a free show.
Most bad gig stories start with a question nobody asked. Ten minutes on the phone before you confirm saves you a wasted Saturday.

Splits get agreed the day you write the song.
Nothing breaks up a band like an unspoken percentage. The fix costs one text message and thirty seconds of mild awkwardness.

Advance the show. Settle before you load out.
An advance is a five-minute call a week out that makes the whole night boring, in the best way. Settlement is the part where you actually get paid for it.

Every one of these guides is a job the agency does for its bands, every week, so the band can stay on stage.
