Sean Healy founded “Sean Healy Presents” (we book bands) almost 20 years ago. Since then his operations have expanded to venues across the country, from California to New York. Today, he books both headliners and supporting acts.
Timing is Everything
Talking too soon can be a turnoff. Some acts will shout out everyone they know after the first song. That’s way too soon and can alienate the other audience members.
Introducing the Band
The band members should not be introduced until the music has set the mood and people care who they are.
Surefire Hits
Noting audience members’ birthdays and proposals works well. Buying shots for everyone in the house is always a hit. And inviting your biggest fans, or just random people, on stage to dance or play with you is a big crowd pleaser.
Pro vs Poser
If an artist wants a career they must be professional. That means practicing everything, including stage banter. Professional artists rehearse not just to learn the songs, but to perfect their performance…and banter is part of that process. •
