Question:
What is the best way to attract a booking agent?
The best methods of attracting an agent are to perform as much as possible and showcase at conferences where agents are likely to be selling the acts on their current roster.
Remember to invite any industry professionals to gigs you have lined up, especially in industry heavy cities like, NY, LA, Nashville, London, Toronto.
No matter where you play, research that city for agencies, venue bookers and media people and invite them to any gig or showcase.
The more you play and build a following, media attention and a buzz, the more attractive you become to agents.
They need to know it will be worth their investment, to take you on.
