List of Singers/Bands Known to Sign Via Venue
Posted: Thu May 19, 2011 5:04 pm
May 2011:The list for this is no longer a sticky and it also looks like it has not been updated in a long time so I have re-posted with updates.
Please contribute but only give names of musicians you have had recent success with (past 12 - 18 months)
(IE:: Taylor Swift used to sign VV but she stopped about mid 2010 - I believe you may get a PP months after the show now also some artists will sign Via Venue on one tour and then the next tour they will not. IE: Katy Perry & Rihanna -there have been NO reported successes from Katy Perry or Rihanna on there current 2011 tours.)
Please advise if you know of someone on the list who no longer signs at all. I have updated the list and added recent success from the VV thread.
This is a topic about which Singers/Bands usually sign via venue. Remember Via Venue is a risk and there is never a guarantee you will get a reply.
There is a separate thread for actors so please only ask questions &post about musicians in this thread!
Please keep the following in mind when writing via venue:
- Make sure whether the venue the artist is playing pass on mail. (Thread on this topic here: viewtopic.php?f=125&t=24711). If the Venue is not listed in the thread go to the official webpage for that venue and ask them (most sites have a email/contact form).
- Best tips for success when writing Via Venue - ALWAYS include:
* A photo or something for them to sign (remember these artists are on the road and usually do not have publicity photos with them to sign). Remember as there is no guarantee of a reply its more than likely best NOT to send something you would hate not to get back like a cd slick, rare item etc...
* Stamped Self Addressed Envelope again they are on the road and in various countries, make it easy by including SSAE that way it can just be dropped in the post by management or sometimes it is handed back to the venue to mail out. I do not think sending cash or IRC's is the best idea especially if you want to get a reply straight away. They may only be in town one night and sometimes venues are not near postal offices etc... its not like they can send someone to the post office the next day to send it back!
*Try to send approx 5-7 days before the show, you do not know if that venue collects mail everyday - mark the performance date on the envelope as per the how to address info below. If you are sending from another country allow time for it to get to that country and still let there be 5 - 7 days before the performance.
*Some artists will sign on the night of the show and some take it on the road with them and reply later. A few will keep all mail and reply when the tour has finished.
- There is NEVER a guarantee that you will definitively get a reply from the artists below, but these musicians on this list are known to sign via venue.
Please only add names to the list who:
- the artists signed Via Venue (not from writing to the hotel they were staying at etc.... or you knew someone on the tour)
- you got an authentic autograph from (no preprints, autopens or stamps).
- sign regularly via venue, preferably not big stars who would only occasionally sign.
- only list failures when you know 100% that the venue is one who passes mail on.
