How Musicians Build a Fanbase that Brings People to Shows - SZN 4

2y ago 44:42

MP3•Episode-Home

One of the things I’m most interested in this year, is how artists get real people off the couch, out of the house, and in the venue as part of the crowd they’re performing for.

Social media followers and streams are great, but developing an audience that will make the effort to see you perform and hear your music live… It’s a critical piece of building momentum as a musician.

And in those early days, those shows are often the biggest revenue generators. So Alfred Banks shares a perspective on audience building that leverages live shows and merch first, social media second.

Alfred Banks has gone on tour opening for artists like Tank and the Bangas, and I caught him in Austin this summer just before he did a series of Texas shows opening for Devon the Dude. He’s a hip hop artist, based in New Orleans.

There’s a point in our interview where Alfred Banks calls himself an octopus, because he’s learned how to do so many different things as part of building his independent music career. Listen to find out more.
