Exclusive Booking Agent Agreement | USA

Whether you're a booking agent or a band leader who books your own gigs, you can use this downloadable Booking Agreement to book a club engagement for a band or musical artist.

• The nightclub contracts for the services of a band, singing act, or musician for a specific period of time (a week, a month, etc) or for a specified number of performances. Provisions of the Agreement include:
  • what happens if the nightclub defaults in its obligations;
  • time and length of the band's breaks or intermissions;
  • rules applying to the performance, such as dress, behavior, general conduct;
  • commission payable to the booking agent (if applicable);
  • a blank contract rider form, which can be used to add additional terms for either the club or the band.
• You can personalize the agreement for each club or venue and tailor it especially for your agency (or for your band, if you don't use an agent).
• Available in MS Word format.

Provide management services to bands and musicians under the provisions of this Musical Artist Management Agreement for USA talent managers.

• The manager will provide a full range of management and promotional services, career advice, professional guidance and business acumen.
• In return for the services, the manager will receive a percentage of the musician's gross earnings.
• If the musician incorporates a company to run the business through, the manager will also be entitled to shares in the company.
• The contract is exclusive to the artist (i.e. the artist will not have anyone else managing his/her affairs), but the manager is at liberty to provide the same or similar services to other performers.
• The musician appoints the manager as its attorney-in-fact to sign contracts on its behalf.

You can make additions, deletions or changes to the USA Musical Artist Management Agreement template to make it a perfect fit with your business and services.
