Are you kidding?  There must be a dozen shows in and around Kansas City.  The Riverfest is probably one of your best bets.\n\nCheck out the link below for ideas, dates, and times...

yeah... go to LA... start performing... if you're any good, they'll let you play bigger an bigger venues- most famous musicians were scouted that way by other musicians/proucers/executives.  Musical talant has almost nothing to do with getting a record deal tho- it's all about style... they've gotta be able to sell you! You need the right energy/attitude/taste for your genre... the most talented musicians I ever met would never even dream of seeking a record deal for that reason

write to the promoter/producer saying lifelong fan and that you are following their tour sometimes they have meet n greets failing that apply for a job on the local crew at the venue, get paid for being at the gig.\ngood luck

I might be able to help. I have worked with some of the greats in the music industry and honestly, I'm not to happy with anything out there right now. If you would like to know whom I worked with, please reply with an email and I will include my website for your consideration.

My band uses a site called Gigmaster to look for jobs.  It has a bunch of bands and their styles, pictures, etc. and you can find ones in your area that look good and ask them for quotes.

My wife had some time ago.  We no longer live there. I don't know if that helps.  We hired an attorney out of KS.\n\nIs there a blog?  I've heard that can help.  Link is a good idea.  More people will probably come forward anonymously.

Make your own CD, sell hundreds at your live shows, then approach a label and show them what you've done.  Then they might be interested.

You have to promote your music. If you're playing gigs put all the money you can on a great album to sell at your shows. Form a relationship with your local radio stations. Some will play indie music. Get in touch with music publishers. Do anything you can to get heard. The major labels won't accept unsolicited material so don't waste your time. You can also try taxi.com. They're a huge company the big boys go to when they want fresh faces and material. Don't give up. Good luck.

I have seen groups solicite in their web site. If you have a small but loyal fan base they can really help out. \nOffer them "exclusives", access at a performance or bounus tracks or something. If you don't have a manager ... maybe you need to get one to keep the business side going while you create.

Sure, I have his agent's cell phone number.  Really, I do.  I am an entertainment booker for a leading late night talk show, so I can get in touch with all the agents for top acts.  I'll give it to you if you give me 10 points!

What I usualy do is check ticketmaster.com for concerts near my city.  It lets you sign up for notification when a certain band comes to your city or zipcode or someting.  You can also check periodicaly who is coming to different venues in you area. Good luck
