Frequently Asked Questions

  • Full-Service Advancing means we handle the logistical preparation for each show so the artist and team can focus on being fully present for interactions and performing. We communicate directly with venues and promoters, confirm production details, organize schedules, and ensure everyone knows what to expect before show day.

  • This service is ideal for:

    • Independent artists managing their own shows

    • Artist managers handling multiple responsibilities

    • Labels supporting developing artists

    • Teams without a dedicated tour manager

    • Artists who want experienced advancing support without hiring full-time staff

  • We manage the key pre-show logistics, including:

    • Communication with venues and promoters
    • Confirming load-in, soundcheck, and performance schedules
    • Gathering production details (PA, backline, lighting, etc.)
    • Confirming hospitality, parking, and credentials
    • Ensuring everyone involved has the same information before show day

    The goal is simple: no surprises when you arrive.

  • An advance sheet is a single, organized document that outlines everything for the show, such as:

    • Venue contact information
    • Load-in and soundcheck times
    • Show schedule
    • Production and backline details
    • Parking and hospitality information

    This sheet is shared with the artist and team, so everyone arrives prepared.

  • Not exactly.

    A tour manager travels with the artist and handles day-of logistics on the road.

    Full-Service Advancing focuses on pre-show preparation—making sure the event is organized before the artist arrives. Many artists use this service with or without a tour manager.

  • The one-time onboarding fee covers the initial setup so we can manage your shows efficiently.

    This includes:

    • Reviewing and organizing your existing materials
    • Gathering gear lists, personnel info, and preferences
    • Understanding your typical show workflow
    • Building a consistent advancing system for your shows

    Once onboarding is complete, advancing future shows becomes much faster and smoother.

  • If you don’t already have a clear technical rider, we can help create one.

    This add-on includes a professionally organized rider outlining:

    • Stage setup
    • Input lists
    • Backline needs
    • Production expectations

    Having a clear rider significantly improves communication with venues and promoters.

  • Advancing is billed per show, allowing flexibility as your schedule changes.

    There is also a one-time $200 onboarding setup fee that prepares your materials and workflow for ongoing advancing support.

  • Advancing works best when both sides have time to build communication and workflow.

    The 3-month trial period allows us to:

    • Establish systems
    • Refine processes
    • Confirm the partnership is a good fit

    After the trial, both parties can decide whether to continue the arrangement.

  • Ideally as soon as shows start getting booked regularly.

    Early advancing ensures:

    • Clear communication with venues
    • Fewer last-minute surprises
    • Better organized show days
    • Less stress on the artist and team

  • Most shows are advanced 4-6 weeks before the performance, depending on the venue and promoter timeline.

    The earlier we’re looped in, the smoother the process tends to be.

  • Once the onboarding is complete, you simply share your upcoming shows with us.

    From there, we begin communicating with venues and building the advance sheet so your team can show up fully prepared and ready to perform.
