Did you know that a survey of semi-pro & amateur bands across 12 countries showed that 60% of original bands play at least some covers in their sets and those that do, play on average 50% more gigs than bands performing original material only?
Most successful Australian artists started out playing some at least some covers. If you don’t like the idea of just covering other people’s songs then make your own mark on it – stamp your brand identity on the song and make it your very own. Connect to the audience through familiar music – get them on side – and then introduce them to your own style and music.
We recruit Cover Artists for Entertainment Programs at various pubs, clubs and functions throughout Queensland.
Andrew Lunt and Michael Geeves, both long time professional muso’s, originals and covers, look after the Queensland Artists services. What does a Cover Gig give you? Money to feed your original habit! Chance to practice your chops live! Opportunity to expand your network and market – every punter is a potential CD purchase – every pub manager a new contact – every audience is another fan! Hone your skills! Have some fun on the weekends! Don’t limit yourself – experience every part of the Music Industry!
They know what works in a room – they know who’s who in Brisbane and know what’s happening all across Queensland. What do you need to know? Ask Michael and Andrew – style, culture, repertoire, marketing, and production.
Let’s face it –anyone can get a cover gig? But not everyone can program a venue while tuned into the touring network, know what’s happening in the marketplace, have the database to replace your gig when you can’t and give you consistent income – week after week. We get offered the most incredible gig opportunities for Private, Corporate and Government events. If you gig direct, you won’t get access to any of that.
With Pushworth you don’t get access to one gig, you connect to the Australian Music Industry. If you are serious, you’ll focus on your music while Andrew and Michael focus on filling your Gig Calendar.
