Hip to the Scene Ep 12 – How Do You Book a Successful Tour? Greg Hoy

For someone who coins himself as “just a guy in a band,” episode 12’s humble guest deserves every bit of attention he enjoys as a songwriter, producer, indie label record owner, singer, multi-instrumentalist, podcast host, and overall musical and marketing mastermind with countless success stories under his belt.

Today, the one and only Greg Hoy is here — making a pitstop to speak with us amidst his 2022 East Coast tour — to divulge details and insight from years of music industry experiences. Together, we will be answering HIP to the Scene’s often asked question as of late: “What’s the secret to booking a successful tour?”

Hoy basically lives the traveling life in the name of sharing his music with the world at large. Just look at him now! Greg Hoy & The Boys just finished their Build Back Bitter tour this summer. It was originally slated for 2020 but was canceled due to health concerns. That tour recently wrapped, and Hoy and his boys are already back at it again with the current Demons At Night tour. Here’s a rock and roller that burns red hot no matter what the creative endeavor it is he undertakes.

Greg is the host of the wildly entertaining Limited Mileage podcast. Hoy is the owner and operator of 30 Peak Recording Co., and he has soundtracked for major brands like Pinterest, American Express, and Adobe. He can work a soundboard just as well as he can carry and single-handedly create rock songs with a guitar, keyboard, drum set, bass guitar, and a pen and paper. Ultimately, though, he is a trusted member of the music world and an all around authentic, talented artist familiar with all that goes into a career in the music business. Certainly, he has perfected the recipe for booking tours, and by the end of this transmission, you the viewer and listener, will be fully equipped to give it a shot, despite the dwindling amount of venues and troubling new challenges of “taking it on the road.”

These conversations are guided by HIP Video Promo principal and founder Andy Gesner, whose charming, encouraging, relentlessly positive personality is the animating spirit behind the company. As all of our clients (past and present!) have come to know, Andy is a genial host dedicated to helping independent artists tell their stories. Andy has plenty of his own tales to tell and his own unique perspective on the industry, and you can expect him to challenge his guests and prompt them to share insights you simply won’t encounter anywhere else.
