Live performances and related income like merch sales account for as much as 90% of most musicians’ income, making it essential to learn to do it right. Wherever you are in your touring journey, this free [Bandsintown For Artists](https://artists.bandsintown.com/?ref=hypebot.com) webinar will offer practical strategies to tour smarter and more profitably.

In addition to editing [Hypebot](http://hypebot.com/?ref=hypebot.com) and [Music Think Tank](http://musicthinktank.com/?ref=hypebot.com), I’ve been a booking agent for over three decades and run the S[kyline Artists Agency](http://www.skylineonline.com/?ref=hypebot.com). In a normal year (remember those?) our mighty team of 10 books nearly 2000 dates mostly across three US and Canada. A few years ago, I wrote and still teach the [Berklee College Of Music](https://online.berklee.edu/?ref=hypebot.com)‘s 12-week online course [Touring 101](https://online.berklee.edu/courses/touring-101?ref=hypebot.com).
