Editorial reviews
"David Barber's new book, "Gigging The Book" is an informative, well written and helpful guide to new musicians and experienced ones alike. He gives lots of great ways for artists to improve their visibility, get fans to shows and great tips on how to create authentic, lasting relationships with talent buyers and venue owners.Plus, it's got a great sense of humor to it as well!" - Nina y, Professional touring artist
“This book should undoubtedly be put in the hands of every musician aspiring to not only play great gigs, but to be viewed professionally in the whirlwind of an industry." - Tim Wenger, Colorado Music Buzz
“Barber…does a good job at letting total newbies know what to expect when setting up or playing their first gig…” - Brian F. Johnson, Marquee Magazine
Dave Barber is a true-blue veteran of the Denver music scene. He has absorbed the realities of the music business from the ground up, being out there in the clubs night after night, observing bands, club owners, soundmen, waitresses and groupies act the hero and the fool-sometimes on the same night. His book, Gigging, is a nuts and bolts ABC of what to do, and even more importantly, what NOT to do as a beginning musician trying to break onto the local scene. His wisdom applies to any local scene, because it is simple and universal. This ain’t rocket-science, but if you don’t know how to call a booking agent, talk to the soundman or collect your dough at the end of the night it might as well be. I would suggest any inexperienced musician check out Dave’s book. If every young musician did, there would be a lot more successful bands and a lot fewer bored audiences. - Paul Epstein, Owner, Twist and Shout

This book could have been written by anyone who has gigged around Denver for a month or two. There are also several places in the book where it says "this article will tell you how to..." But then the article is not in the book. So you pay $10 for something you can read in about 3 hours - which really doesn't tell you much.Product details

Thank you for putting something out there that can help anyone in the music business that is performing live shows!
Give it a look and you'll be able to take away a few good tips and pointers.
Read this book and thought it was a great read for any beginning bands. I know working in the bar business years ago that some of the bands could have used this book. It teaches them what to do and why they should do it for continued success with their band.
With the author's first hand experience it really drives home what a band should do so they can continue to perform at various locations. It is a small band world and one does not want to upset anyone.

Being in the music business for a number of years I realized that there is much more to booking a gig than most realize. David's book, "Gigging" takes you from the very beginning of the process to the end. It tells you everything you need to know to go to that Next Level! It is a valuable tool for all bands or anyone in the music industry. A definite HOW TO guide that works!! I highly recommend this book for anyone in the music industry, it definitely delivers!!

This book could have saved me a lot of pain in my early music career, but even as I read it in 2014, it gave me simple reminders of how to be as professional as I can in this industry. I like how the reader can refer to different topics in the book when looking for advice and direction, which is short and to the point. Every musician wants some type of success in the music industry and yet many musicians don't take their part seriously. Read this book from cover to cover (it's small) or use it as a reference guide, but keep it close. It will save you a lot of hassle as you manage your career! Note this book was written in 2012 and already much has changed in the industry, but the sage advice on how to act like a pro is timeless.
