I hear and read conflicting advice on "promo packets". I would appreciate any input on what DJs, venues, festivals, etc. actually like to receive. What's too much, what's too little? Thanks so much for this great board. What a fine bunch we all are, eh? nadine www.nadinelaughlin.com

Picture, Bio and the best recording you can get of 3 of your songs on cd or cassette along with lead or lyric sheets. Good enough to get an idea of who you are and what you do.

What I've learned is to have 1 professional picture of your band,or if single artist one good picture of that person
The bio should be one page and not more than one page short to the point. Tell the person you are targeting what you are doing now..Include any awards, reviews etc.. fan base if you have one.. dont' start it with "i was born blah blah blah" Make that person want to meet you! Make is creative.
I also think the press kit should be 2-4 of your best songs..
Hope this helps!
