ComboPlate Booking

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

as a native austinite, i grew up going to see live music. after eight years of working as a hospice social worker, i started comboplate booking in 1999. my roster includes these terrific artists: nels andrews, ana egge, michael fracasso, nathan hamilton, eric hisaw, matt the electrician, elizabeth mcqueen, moonlight towers, beaver nelson, aj roach. in addition to booking shows for the roster, i have organized and hosted monthly shows for the clients at a local soup kitchen since april 2001. also, since 2002, i have organized sxsf, south by soup fest, an annual 3 day showcase at the same soup kitchen.
if you are a talent buyer and interested in one of my artists, i would love to hear from you. regarding artist submissions/inquiries: i am not actively looking to add anyone the roster, but thank you for your interest. i am an artist specific agency and cannot accommodate general booking inquiries. if you are trying to book yourself an austin show, you could look at the venue guide on the austin chronicle's web site (most of the booking contacts listed): http://www.austinchronicle.com/gbase/Guides/Clubs
if you are looking for shows around texas, you could check out the online version of the "texas music industry directory" here (seach by region - austin is included here as well - and you can also search by genre): http://www.governor.state.tx.us/divisions/music/directory/ve nues/venues.htm Get this FREE MySpace layout and more at MySpaceOrYours.net
