Philosophy

High Dive thrives on its connection with bands and musicians. We love to support local and national talent on their road to success. We love trouble and the musicians who cause it!... that’s why we do all this craziness.

We want great music in this club and we’d love to hear yours. But FIRST INVESTIGATE THE TYPE OF PROGRAMMING HIGH DIVE PRESENTS. We’re basically a rock club and by rock we mean ALL TYPES OF ROCK> Atl.Rock. Punk Rock, Alt Country, Pop-Rock, Electro-rock, live Hip-Hop and Jam Rock are the types of music we showcase. To that end, if your in a jazz band you shouldn’t waste the stamp and materials. Don’t get us wrong we love jazz, we just don’t book it here. It’s not the club for it.

Once you’ve investigated High Dive and discovered it’s the right fit send your promo package and CD to the club at the address listed below Then send out an email to our agents and let um know it’s coming. It can take a while for the US post office to get their shit done so wait a week or so before you follow up again.

Out agents get slammed with request all the time, so be patient. Email is there favorite way of communication so email them at the address below and try to turn their heads in your direction. But... before you do read some of the booking tips, that will help you increase your chances of getting booked not just at High Dive but anywhere. Good Luck!


Tips to Getting a Show

  • When emailing an agent give as much info as possible. What’s your gig history? Who else have you played with? Tell them why your band is GOING TO BRING PEOPLE and pack the club

  • Include links to your web site and any press that you may have gotten in the past (you SHOULD have a web site and it should have music on it. It can speed up the booking process)

  • Last but not least be persistent but don’t be a pest. Our agents will do their best to get you in if they think it’s a good fit, odds are if they don’t reach you back after your third or forth try you may need to develop your sound/audience a little more. Keep trying, be professional and it will happen naturally.
