How Book A Band: Interview with Brooklyn Bowl talent buyer Lucas Sacks

Brooklyn Bowl Director of Booking Lucas Sacks joins Michael Brandvold and Jay Gilbert on a new Music Biz Weekly podcast to discuss the ins and out of booking a band.

Beginning as an intern at the Bowl in 2012, Sacks now books and oversees more than 700 concerts and music-related events a year for a New York City club that ranks annually in Pollstar’s Top 10 global club-size venues and a sister venue in Philadelphia.

They discuss how to pitch a band to a Talent Buyer, the venue’s taking a cut of merchandise, and why you need to be very careful about burning bridges.
