Booking Information
Thanks so much for your interest in working with Ben Goodman Presents! I’m always on the lookout for great talent and I strive to book the best possible shows.
I carefully book bills of like-minded acts to create an exciting night for band members and concert goers. I am very hands-on, giving a lot of personal attention to every show I produce. I am onsite at every show from load-in through payout.
Requirements for Booking
Given the current situation with the NYC live music scene and economic constraints, I have had to become more stringent in what I require from acts I book.
Before contacting me with booking/business inquiries, please read the following:
Priority is given to acts who can reasonably expect to draw a minimum of 50+ paid admissions. If you don’t think you can meet this draw requirement, please feel free to email me so I can keep you on my radar.
Typically, the shows I book are strictly 21+ with ID to attend. Venues expect acts to bring out a drinking crowd.
To help with promotion efforts for every show I book, I have a double-sided flyer designed for digital use and postcards printed for distribution. I personally do an email blast & flyering for every show. In addition to other promo efforts, I submit show listings to local media outlets.
I require acts to promote any events that I book with them to their fullest extent. All band members should participate in promoting the show. These promotion efforts should include, but not be limited to, using social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), email blasts, flyering, reaching out to any press & blog contacts you have, etc.
I have a radius clause. Please do not schedule any other shows in the tri-state area for at least 2 weeks prior to and 2 weeks after the show I book with you. Please note that for some shows & venues there is a longer time period involved.
Please contact me via email only, with a link to your website or another site where I can stream music, watch videos, read a bio, view artist pics, etc.
I do my best to reply to all inquiries but due to the high volume of requests, I regrettably cannot respond to all emails.
