Start off with a local fest and ask the organiser if you can put up a small tented stage area. call it the KMSA tent..... get a local promoter involved with a good PA and do it for charity....so you won't have to pay anyone. Either that or find a local venue and get to know the soundman and ask the bar if you can put on 2 band, 3 band nights for the KMSA Charity.. <br><br>get to know all the local acts especially the ones with big fanbases. there are hundreds of acts with no fans...so you want two acts with fans and one without...so they get a leg up and people get introduced to them... <br><br> Over time you get a reputuation etc.....if you get out there 7 nights a week networking ( its how i lost my nineties). <br><br>if you try putting on tooooo big event instead of piggybacking someone elses fest you'll hit big licensing and saftey issues...well you do in the UK....so i can't see it being anyless in the US... <br><br>anyway...its a big world..promoting. ( too big to tackle in a comment box )..and thats even before you get let down by the bands cos the drummer breaks his arm skateboarding or something.. lol...
