Sargent House owner Cathy Pellow has set up an email offering free contract advice to bands being courted by labels, booking agents, etc, to help prevent artists from signing bad deals.
“I am setting up a FREE advice email for any bands out there that have been sent a written contract to sign by a label, booking agent, marketing firm, label scout, manager – whatever,” Pellow stated. “I’m begging all bands to NEVER just sign without first getting some real advice and understanding of what it is you are agreeing too.”
Pellow added, “Too many times the reason bands don’t get outside advice has been for lack of funds to get a professional lawyer to advise them before signing and so I’m offering this FREE. Take it or leave it, you don’t have to listen to me but at least you can be more prepared to know what you are getting yourself into and with who.”
