Just wanted to take a minute to introduce Developing Artist’s newest addition in our Booking division: Sara Biancuzzo.
She’s a New England native, but has been living out in Los Angeles working for AEG Live, one of the world’s largest concert promoters and touring agencies, before moving back to work for DAB. We are very happy to have her here! Look for her at upcoming DAB Productions and your local NACA conferences.
Hi guys- it’s me Sara!!
I’m really excited to meet and work with ya’ll!
When I was in college I was concert chair for my programming board so I know how important it is to have a reliable middle agent.
I’m attaching a photo to this blog of comedian Nick Swardson and I, can you make out who is in the background? Post answer to our fan page of Facebook. (type Developing Artist Booking into search box) and win a prize! Also suggest fans to our Facebook fan page and Twitter so we can update you all on the latest artist info, touring, and music related news.

Summer days are still going strong so I don’t want to kill anyone’s buzz by saying that August is quickly approaching and that means soon enough you will be back on campus. But I think the some of the best parts about going back to school is seeing your profs, challenging the mind again, the smell of season’s change and especially getting down tough with your crew.
Also, another great thing about going back is looking forward to having concerts on your campus. Instead, of having to drive somewhere far to see a great band or artist, they come to you and furthest you might have to travel is just a short walk across the quad.
So for all of the Student Activities, Programming Boards, and Concert Committee members you have a the awesome job of bringing the entertainment to your peers.
That’s why we exist as well. We are here to make the concert planning process a fun and exciting endeavor. We love working with colleges because of that reciprocal energy. We are committed to helping you every step of the way from securing the artist to being right there with you day-of-show as a production manager.
The reason why I say all this is because now is the time to get the ball rolling on securing a band or act for your school for the fall!
We already have offers out now and are confirming a bunch of shows as well!
So shoot us a note or give us a call anytime with any questions you might have regarding artist availability and pricing or any questions about concert planning in general. Love to hear from ya!
Hope the summer is going well.
James
