By Cynthia Allen


A lot of people will regularly attend gigs to listen to their favorite bands playing live music. Tribute bands and solo artists are now very popular and many venues now book different acts to entertain their paying guests. When you ate trying to find a lynyrd skynyrd tribute band there are various options available to you and it is useful to do some research.

Lynyrd skynyrd formed in Florida in the 1960's and were one of the most popular bands during the seventies. In 1979 the band was on tour and the aircraft that they were on crashed resulting in some band members being killed. They reformed and are still active and many bands have formed over the years to emulate the original group.

Before you begin your search for an act you need to decide what type of show you need and you should calculate a budget. Most groups are able to customize a show to your specific requirements and they can perform a couple of songs to a full length gig. The fees charged by a band will vary and depend on how many songs are to be performed; stage equipment needed as well as travel and accommodation expenses.

There are various ways find the contact details for a tribute act and a reputable entertainment agent is a good place to start. The agents are able to provide a suitable group that can play at your venue and they will handle all aspects of the show. The other benefit of using the services of a professional agent is that all of the performing licenses and insurances will be in place.

Browsing the web is also a useful way to find bands and there are a large number of them to be found online. The web sites for the groups contain some useful information as well as video and audio clips. A lot of web sites will have a testimonials page which allows you to read comments from people that have booked the group before.

When you have decided to book a group it is preferable to give them as much notice as possible as many of them will be very busy. The top tribute acts will be fully booked for many months and even years and they may not be available. The majority of acts will require you to pay a deposit to secure a booking and you can pay the balance at a later date.

In some cases a band may agree to play at your venue for door money and they will sell tickets and allow people to pay on the day. This can often work out to be a cost effective way of putting on a gig. Your chosen group may also have a free slot in their current tour if it can be fitted in to their schedule.

When the gig has come to an end and you have paid the bill it is useful to hang on to the payment receipt. You should also keep a note of the groups contact details in case you want to book them for a return performance. If you are happy with the performance it can help the group and future clients of you leave some feedback on the bands web site.
