The Bugle Boy has high expectations for you to promote your Bugle Boy show. Below is a list of minimal promotional requirements as well as a helpful list of additional promotional ideas. Please use the suggestions that make the most sense for you. If you have a separate promoter, it is your responsibility to get the below listing to them.
FYI- The Bugle Boy is a true listening room with fabulous acoustics. We do not allow talking during the performances. Respect for the performer as well as the ticket holder is not an after thought but rather our business model. Since The Bugle Boy is a point of destination venue, it helps to let your fan base know that seeing and hearing you perform here is a valuable experience and well worth the drive (60 miles from Austin, 90 miles from Houston, 120 from San Antonio). Folks traveling from out of town will often get a B & B and make a night of it. Lodging suggestions can be found at: http://www.thebugleboy.org/overnight.php and it is always important to press for advanced ticket purchases for folks coming from out of town.
With artist permission we record the show. You could promote this show as a live recording if you so choose. Pete Sengler our sound engineer can make a copy for you at your request. You can contact Pete at pete@thebugleboy.org if you have any questions regarding live recordings.
ÒBUGLE BOY IS A POINT OF DESTINATION VENUEÓ Because The Bugle Boy is a point of destination venue, it is recommended in your marketing efforts that you incorporate the below material to help generate support and additional interest for your Bugle Boy show:
