Bigshot Touring Artists is a booking agency representing all of your favorite musical acts opened by Kevin French in New York City, January 2001. In 2005, we packed up our bags and opened shop in lovely Portland, OR. As of 2006, paul buck, formerly of the agency group, joined up with bigshot and brought all of his expertise to the company.

the picture above: a really cool telephone that was the product of a google images search that was conducted. aside from being completely fascinated by how one of these could possibly work, we thought it might be more appropriate and tasteful for a contact page than a picture that flaunts how much sinful fun we were having 9 months ago. however, let it be known that bigshot considers levels of appropriateness and taste to be completely relative. As in, the party picture might be back soon...

Submission Policy

Bigshot Touring Artists is always looking for great new acts but please keep in mind that for the most part we deal only with label-supported artists. We are a small agency with a busy roster, please don’t call us or send us unsolicited submissions. We simply don’t have the resources to field all the traffic. Instead please send us an e-mail expressing interest in submitting your music. If we ask you to send us a package, we’ll be sure to take a listen to it. Please don’t call to follow up after sending it. If we love your music, we will hunt you down, stalk and harass you. Thank you for your interest!
