COMBO President Barb Dye will be presenting a “DIY Band Management” Workshop in Fort Collins at the Higher Ground Rehearsal Studios on Saturday, November 7th, from 1:30 to 4:00 p.m. The class will cover what duties a manager should cover and what duties others should handle in order to advance the career of a band or of solo artists. A job description would include some booking, bookkeeping, laws, copyrights, trade name registering, different types of contracts, and lots more.

The class is free to attend but pre-registration is requested due to packets of information being handed out and we need to know how many to prepare.
