How to Get Local Press to Cover Your Gig

Local editors are not looking for events. They are looking for stories that happen to have a date attached.

Lead with the story, not the lineup

  1. One sentence on why this night exists.
  2. One sentence on who it is for locally.
  3. Date, venue, price and one high-resolution image.
