    106. How to Fix your Failures with Big Fish Booking Agency : Musicians Tip Jar
    Jul 23 2024
    Today we complete our interview with Tina and Chris from Big Fish Booking Agency. They demonstrate how every problem has a solution, just as every failure is filled with opportunity. Big Fish Booking Company is an artist-run boutique agency based in Chicago that specializes in booking and artist management.

    Owners Chris Weller and Tina Priceman started booking shows for themselves and some of their close friends under the guise of Big Fish in 2016 in an effort to better support their own musical endeavors. The hard work and “fake it till you make it” attitude slowly paid off as new artists were signed and the Big Fish network expanded. Big Fish Booking Company has grown into an international agency supporting the careers of many world-renowned artists, including (but not limited to) The Bad Plus, Nate Smith, Makaya McCraven, Kurt Elling and Melanie Charles. Big Fish prides itself on having a well-rounded approach to supporting musicians, as they understand first-hand the sacrifice and hard work it takes to build a touring career. Less than 10 years in, Big Fish has no intention of slowing down In the last episode, we explored how Big Fish built their booking agency and today we take that journey to what happens next, they expand. Also, here we highlight the power of social media, the niche nuances of the Jazz world and some solid advice from Tina and Chris that all musicians should hear. Lets GO!
