The document outlines a 7-city tour plan for the artist Creativ Angel to build their following in Florida. The tour begins in Orlando at The Plaza Live venue and then travels to Dunedin, Tampa, West Palm Beach, Daytona Beach, Jacksonville, and Gainesville. For each city, a specific venue is selected that would be a good fit based on its capacity, the artist's drawing power, and appealing to Creativ Angel's target audience. Reasons provided for each venue selection include their experience hosting live performances, appealing music styles, and affordable options that match the target demographics.
1. Your Name: Emily Bresnan
Your Artist’s Name: Creativ Angel
Artist Current Stage: Refine
Artist Future Stage: Validate
INSTRUCTIONS:
List 7 cities below that you think it would make sense for your artist to focus
on building a following for Year 1. You can also include the artist’s
hometown.
Check the travel distance and time to each city from the previous city on the
tour, then identify a realistic venue/space/event for them to play in the new
city based on capacity, booking history, your artist’s draw, and the target
audience of both the artist and the venue/space/event.
Provide 2-4 sentences for each elaborating on your decision to make that
particular city a target. Do not be vague, make it relevant and specific.
Market 1 (City): Orlando
Distance & Time From Artist’s Hometown (if not already artist’s hometown):
Venue/Space/Event: The Plaza Live
Capacity (if available): The reserved seating is 903, on the second-floor level. The
standing room which is the GA area holds 1,250.
What is your reason for selecting this market?
The Plaza Live is a good fit because it’s the third largest seated venue in Central
Florida and in Creativ Angel’s hometown. Since he’s opened at the Amway, the Plaza
Live would be the next step for hosting his own show in a larger venue rather than
the clubs he’s be doing. He could draw a sizeable crowd within his hometown so it
would be a way to start off the tour with a following.
Market 2 (City): Dunedin
Distance & Time From Previous Tour Stop: 111 miles, 1 hour 59 mins
Venue/Space/Event: Blur Nightclub
Capacity (if available):
What is your reason for selecting this market?

balcony area, a private Champagne Room, two large dance floors and two separate

Market 4 (City): West Palm Beach
Distance & Time From Previous Tour Stop: 203 miles, 3 hours 17 minutes
Venue/Space/Event: The Loft Nightclub

What is your reason for selecting this market?

My name is Emily Bresnan from Ascension Management, Business Manager for
Creativ Angel. Creativ Angel is a motivational rapper that promotes positive vibes
through energizing hip-hop flows. He brings an authentic and empowering
perspective to lifestyle rap with beats that are lively. It’s as if “Bad and Boujee” met
“Thank U Next”. He’s recently released his newest single “Amway” as well. We’d like
to secure a show at your venue for the date of October 4th or 5th to start off our
seven-city tour.
Creativ has performed in over 55 spaces this year and based on the attendance, we
are confident that he could bring in at least 500 fans. His debut single, “The 7” has
been named Orlando’s theme song by Orlando Weekly and plays at Orlando Magic
games. He has also opened up for Travis Scott at the Amway Center and has features
on outlets such as 104.5 THE BEAT, 4theCultureTV, INDIE JAMZ Radio and Orlando
Weekly. He has a strong following on social media with over 7,000 active followers
