Good pic (8 X 10 usually standard), songlist with title and artist alphabetized. If you are a cover band a demo with you playing the covers live is nice. I usually use one with 10 to 20 songs recorded live. Bout 45 secs of each tune fade in fade out is cool. If you are an original act just include a copy of your most current cd. A live dvd is also great if you have access to it. Contact information including phone,website,address etc. A basic band bio is cool. I don't waste time or paper with lengthy band member bios. If you will be playing venues with PA provided include a stage layout for the sound man. Lots of venues will accept online press kits as well. Check out an artist I play with regularly here in Charlotte. Click on his press kit link...He's one of the busiest around and has been for years!

- Nice photo.
- Original Band: 4 songs off our CD. Hopefully they will listen to ONE!
- Short band bio, including names, and anything we endorse.
- Music reviews, either of live, or our CD.

That's about it. Anything else is a little too
