Artists: What takes up your time the most? BOOKING
The number 1 time consumer I have as a touring singer-songwriter is booking shows. Especially when it comes to booking shows for a tour. Artist tour booking can be just like finding a job sometimes. You get more “NOs” than you do “YESs” and the time you spend on inquiring and applying might as well be a full time job in itself. I have been touring up and down the east coast from New York to Florida and a little westward to Texas and everywhere in between for a handful of years and through it all, my most challenging obstacle has been BOOKING! I’ve even gone as far as searching out booking agents, music agents, and read countless articles on how to get an agent which resulted in the same old “no-help” advice: “Let the music booking agent find you.”
The Problem
Well I’m not exactly selling out the Ryman, so no they won’t find me. But that doesn’t mean I’m not touring and that I don’t need help finding gigs. Enter the problem I along with many of my artist friends out there face, we’re not popular enough to get the attention of a booking agent, but we are ready to tour and book shows.
The Solution
Hi I’m Anitra! A singer-songwriter based in Nashville. I started Much Better Booking, a boutique tour booking agency providing a solution to the obstacle of booking shows and tours for the every day artist. This is a tour booking service that’s affordable, friendly, and made for you, the independent artist.

Imagine going on a 15-date tour without having to spend hours on end emailing, calling, sending information, finding out show details and compiling venue and contact information for every show. Imagine having someone do it all for you. Imagine not having to deal with the hassle of rerouting because not everything lined up with your original plan? What must it feel like to have all of those details already figured out for you? All you have to do is practice, promote and show up for your shows. How much time would you be saving?
