How does Marketplace work?

Marketplace connects you with all levels of venues, from coffee house to ampitheater. All you have to do is create an OurStage Electronic Press Kit (EPK) which allows you to send your biography, audio, video, photos, press clips, and more, to venues with just a click of a button. Venues review your EPK and decide if you are a fit for their gig. If you are, you'll be notified and then you can confirm your booking with the venue.

Great, but what's really in it for me?

Testimonials

With great charisma and amazing sets, OurStage and the OurStage talent brought a cool, new vibe to the SXSW Film Closing / Music Opening party this year.

-Hiliary Kerby, SXSW

OurStage provides a viable alternative to existing festival submission mechanisms and the traditional A&R process. We partnered with OurStage in 2007 to discover promising acts like American Babies, Ashleigh Flynn, and Nico Stai. We found real value in OurStage and are expanding this partnership in 2008.

-Bonnaroo founder, Richard Goodstone

In short, there are an increasing number of music-oriented web sites on the internet that claim to help, promote, sell, and advance an artist's career. But in my experience with OurStage, they've been much more than mere claims.
