Producer Hal Davidson's Concert & Festival Promotions Books Reveal Essence of the Business

July 19, 2010 - PRLog -- In a business where you're on your own to figure out the right formula, the concert and music festival business is strewn with the carcasses of those who tried, failed and got out. Hal Davidson not only stayed in the game, but still promotes ever bigger events, and has written the definitive work on the subject, primarily to show others the way.

It's a University level course of study all in one book. At 374 pages HOW NOT TO PROMOTE CONCERTS & MUSIC FESTIVALS is the most comprehensive book in the world on what to do and what not to do, pitfalls to watch out for and most important, step-by-step methods from scratch. A 160 page simplified version released in 2009 focuses on concerts only. Many promoters have written back saying the books saved them from losing a fortune, others that that the books ensured or enhanced profits.

Zack Wiest from PA said, and "I just finished your book, How To Promote Concerts, Simplified. I must say, being a provider of information to others as well, I am impressed by what you have put together. Very thorough, well written and easy to follow."

In Australia, Simon Kyriacou said, "Hal is one of the most inspirational people I have ever come in contact with. His decades of experience within the live entertainment industry is a treasure to all of us trying to figure out this business. I highly recommend Hal from conception through to completion of any promoter's event as a consultant. At least do yourself a favour and purchase "How Not to Promote Concerts and Music Festivals"  This information is invaluable!"

Donald Davidson in Canada wrote, "Mr. Abramson, I just finished reading your book How Not to Promote Concerts and Music Festivals, and I must say that it is a masterpiece. I learned a great deal from this book and I am eager to get into the concert promotion business. Thank you for creating this book as it will give me guidance in my future events. Thank you."

Hal Davidson now consults on other promoter's events and is preparing to launch the culmination of his life's work, the most exciting music festival concept he's come up with yet. Making mind numbing sacrifices over the many years of figuring out the magic festival formula, he agrees "You don't make something great without giving up something great".

Hal is based on the east coast in Maryland. His books are available online at www.concert-promotions.com. His consulting site is www.rentapromoter.com, though he said, "start with the book, then contact me".
