Q&A: Books on Starting and/or Managing a live music venue?
Question by viitaviolenta: Books on Starting and/or Managing a live music venue?
I am looking for books that would assist/guide someone in opening a live music venue.
essentially i hope to find a book on a complete subject about live music venue management and production…
-jobs need for the upkeep of a venue
-the best steps to take
-personal experience (autobiographical)
-what is needed to successfully operate this type of business
**not looking for a book about the ‘inside’ music business per-say (this is usually for musical artists as well as record label management)
i really appreciate any recommendations! cheers!

it seems there is a book on anything–everything. I do suggest you start with a few
books JUST on starting a biz. Entrepreneurship and on small biz mgt
then, learn to write a biz plan
then, determine what type of biz you want to produce-make.
I was raised by a pro musician.
Also, visit several night clubs during the day and ask to speak to the owner[s]. I am sure
one of them will be glad to have you meet their current DJ[s].
