SOME THINGS THAT WILL HELP YOU GET A GIG AT HARPERS FERRY
Have a clue about how to promote yourself, be happening and part of a scene... We look for exciting, crowd pleasing, entertaining, energetic music of all styles. Have a real press kit, play some of the other clubs in the city, and above all, build a fan base, a steady draw of friends and fans. Harpers Ferry is a big room and it's especially big when it's empty, so if you don't have some fans, play some other rooms until you know you can pack the place. We'll be here for you.
If you are from outside of the Boston Metro area, we do book national and regional bands, but you better be ready to make a strong case as to why we should pay attention to you. Some things that'll help are if you are headlining clubs in your hometown or are seriously happening in many markets or if you have college fans that now go to school in Boston. We believe in developing bands, but you have to have your poop together!
SOME CALLING TIPS THAT'LL KEEP ME SANE AND YOU FROM MAKING ME INSANE -
Stick to the call times
Don't leave more than one message per week
Don't speed dial all day long hoping someone will pick up
Thanks, and may all your rock n' roll dreams come true!
