Howdy!
I live in the northeast, and there are a LOT of colleges around here. What is the best way to get gigs at student unions, frats, etc.? In another thread, somebody mentioned NACA -- what do they do?
Thanks,
Jon

Then you can pick out the clubs that you think would be interested in booking you and contact them individually. |

They are a great fanbase.

My school, Concordia, has a student bar on it's main floor, and they have a stage for bands to perform. I've seen a few acts, and the crowd reaction is awesome! Whenever I pass by, I think, "one day, just be patient..." And what bugs me is that they usually bring hip-hop acts, or a jazz group. I don't mind that. But I feel that the place needs some rock once in a while, and I believe I can provide that.
