Document your musical performance agreement. I'm being asked to play at an event for three hours.They are asking if I need them to sign a contract, give me a deposit, or possibly pay me in full. A Performance Contract is an agreement outlining the terms and conditions of a live performance. How do I fill this out? I have a big show comming up, and need to generate a contract. There are plenty of examples of recording contracts, but can't find any for live acts. This is a standard, basic booking agreement meant to offer a structure for a booking contract based on various booking contracts that the FMC have devised. A live performance contract is between a client and a performer when the performer provides entertainment at an event. Use our free template to draft yours.
