An independent Producer or Promoter will often hire talent and entertainers for concerts and gigs through the services of a Talent Agency. In the music world, booking agents are different from talent managers. Booking agents are the people that actually book shows for the artists they represent. They make all of the arrangements with the promoters of the shows. The booking agent presents the promoter or producer of the concert with a performance agreement, which stipulates the artist’s requirements.
This is an extensive ten page, twenty-nine legal clause music contract including but not limited to the following music contract Clauses: confidentiality, consumption of drugs and alcohol, compensation, copyright non-infringement, entertainer merchandise sales, parking, dressing rooms and security.
This music contract Agreement between the independent Producer/Promoter and the Agent is drafted in plain English that is easy to read and comprehend. The music contract Agreement may be filled in on your computer or printed out and filled in later. Your Lawyer will draft any and all other music contract clauses for your Project’s unique situations and circumstances.
