The Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and the Chicago Music Commission present the latest Musicians at Work forum, "How to Book Your Next Gig," at 6 PM tonight at the Chicago Cultural Center's Claudia Cassidy Theater. Moderated by Tim Tuten of the Hideout, the panel consists of local talent buyers--David Chavez of Uncommon Ground, Brendan Joyce of Reggie's, Fred Brennan of Chicago Special Events Management--and will address questions like how to target venues appropriate for your band's style, how to get a read on whether a new venue is right for you, and how to ferret out unconventional show opportunities. The discussion is free, and from 5:30 till 6 PM attendees will have the opportunity to network with other music professionals.
