Build an electronic press kit that books gigs.
Templates, tools, and examples for musicians building an EPK that venues, festivals, and booking agents actually take seriously.
An electronic press kit (EPK) is the one document that decides whether a venue booker, festival programmer, or agency even listens to your music. Most musicians send a Spotify link and a couple of phone photos — and wonder why they're not getting booked.
This page pulls together the EPK templates, stage plot tools, photo and bio guides, and submission platforms working musicians use to build press kits that get a real response. Everything here is tuned for indie and working bands, not major-label artists with a publicist on payroll.

FAQ
Questions for musicians ask
- What goes in a musician's EPK?
- Short bio, 2–3 high-res photos, 3 best tracks (streamable, not download), a live video, press quotes or notable shows, a stage plot, and clear contact info. One page if it's a one-sheet, single scrollable PDF otherwise.
- Do venues actually read EPKs?
- Talent buyers spend roughly 30 seconds per submission. They scan the photo, the genre, the draw (past venues / ticket counts), and the contact info. The EPK exists so you pass that 30-second scan.
- How long should the bio be?
- 100–150 words for the one-sheet, up to 300 words for the long bio on your site. Lead with what makes the act bookable, not where the songwriter grew up.
- Do I need a separate stage plot?
- Yes if you're a band with more than 3 inputs. Venues and festival production teams expect a clean stage plot and input list as a separate PDF, not buried in the EPK.
