by Christopher Knab , May 2011


Back to The Academy

Throughout the last two decades I have often spoken of the importance of putting together a Band Agreement when you and your fellow band-mates are serious about doing business together professionally. Below you'll find a link to a template for a Band Agreement that will help you write your own Agreement.

Here's the link to the Band Agreement Template (Word Format)
