What Afton Can Do For Your Venue
Want to book local acts but don’t want to take the risk and lose money? That’s where Afton comes in. We book more unsigned local artists than anyone else in the country.
Afton (www.MyAfton.com) was founded by musicians, for musicians, in 2004. We are a concert production company, promoter, talent buyer, and booking agency. We book local & regional unsigned artists on our local shows, and we also book nationally-touring signed artists as well. We’ve booked over 200,000 artists to date.
Afton takes on all financial risk for our events. The venues and artists get paid no matter what, per the contract, even if Afton loses money. We give venues a risk-free approach to booking local, unsigned artists.
We book year round, bringing in shows even during tour “off-season.”
By filling the gaps in your calendar between already booked dates, we bring additive revenues that you can consistently count on.
We have perfected the booking process and have a robust system in place for booking and working with artists and venues, leading up to the show and afterwards.
On show nights, we provide show managers on the ground at the venue who handle all the aspects of the show. We work with the show managers directly and provide real-time support to them from start to finish on every show.
We utilize our detailed tracking system of everything related to the show including: ticket sales (advanced and at the door), hosting, DJing, set times and scheduling, reporting and fulfillment and prompt venue and artist payment. This ensures our shows go smoothly and the venues and artists are happy with the results, payment and any other aspect connected to the show.
Afton artists draw more fans, make more money, and develop into successful business-minded musicians. We do more for our artists than any other booker or promoter of unsigned acts.
Afton’s booking services are free to the artist. Membership to our www.MyAfton.com musician platform is also free. This is why we have over 280,000 acts signed up on the www.MyAfton.com booking platform.
We are not a battle of the bands or a competition, and Afton has never been pay to play as we are adamantly against that:
