So Called "Record Producers" At Shows
How do you guys handle the so called "Record Producers" that come to the shows every week and tell your singers he wants them to sign a record deal?

Take your singer(s) to the side and tell them to be very careful. If these so-called "Producers" ask for money up front they are not strictly legit. If they were and really thought your singer(s) were that great they would be offering them money to sign a contract. |
Don't happen very often, but on occasion. They ask me about it, & generally reply if they are truly looking, why would they be at a bar where most people are singing drunk, they would more than likely set up auditions first.

Thankfully I haven't had this happen yet. Maybe they don't want drunken rednecks.
I do have one legitimate record producer who occassionaly sings with us. He produces Gospel music and has people like Kristi Lane under his contract. He sings with us, compliments the singers and then goes home. If someone hastles him about signing up, he smiles and says that all auditions are done in the studio and not in a tavern. Those are his nights to have fun and enjoy music. If they insist, he tells them to send him a demo tape and they will take it from there. |
