So I just found out, although not utilizing live piano, that I will be featured in a local 4th of July parade as an Elvis tribute act this year! I’m creating custom backing tracks to sing along to and have mini performances throughout the parade route when it stalls…crazy?! 🤪 🎙️ 🕺 🎶 🇺🇸

Had a recent celebration of life visitation & service combo at 1.3K and now just booked a wedding ceremony & reception combo at 4K, my biggest package booking to date. #knowyourvalue #newpr4me

Hey BookLive fam! We just rolled out something that's going to help you close more gigs... **Clients can now preview your songs directly in their Client Portal!** When a client logs into their portal to review their booking, they can now listen to your songs right there - embedded from YouTube or Soundcloud. **Why this matters:** You know those clients who book you but haven't actually heard you play? Or the ones deciding between you and another musician? Now when they're in their Client Portal reviewing the details, they can click play and hear exactly what they're getting. No hunting for links, no leaving the page. **Great for:** - Clients finalizing their song requests for the event - - Event planners who need to share your music with their client (the bride, the corporate contact, etc.) - - Anyone on the fence who just needs to hear you to say yes **How to set it up:** Go to your Songs section and add YouTube or Soundcloud links to your songs. When clients view the setlist or song options in their portal, they'll see the embedded player. This is a simple way to give clients confidence in their booking and make the song selection process way smoother. Try it out!

Happy Friday! Here's your weekly BookLive platform update: **PLATFORM UPDATES** We've rolled out some powerful new features to help you automate your partnership outreach and submit polished websites with confidence. **Workflow Automation** • **Set Partnership Status Step**: Your Gig Vault workflows can now automatically update the status of venues and event planners as you engage with them. When you send outreach, follow up, or get a response, the workflow handles the status update for you — no more manually tracking where each lead stands. **Website Building** • **Preflight Check System**: Before submitting your website for build, you'll now walk through a multi-step confirmation to review your text content, photos, branding preferences, reviews, and video URLs. This helps catch anything that needs tweaking before submission, reducing revision requests and getting your site live faster. --- **BOOKIVE PRO SUPPORT** Friday (02/27/26): 10:00 AM MST – BookLive Pro Support (Jared) Join here: https://www.skool.com/booklive-users-6450/calendar --- **INSPIRATION OF THE WEEK** "Opportunities are like sunrises.

Your Gig Vault workflows just got smarter - you can now automatically update the partnership status of venues and event planners as you engage with them. **Why this matters:** When you're building relationships with potential referral partners (venues, wedding planners, corporate event coordinators), it's easy to lose track of where each lead stands. Now your workflows can handle the status updates for you. **Example use cases:** - When you send your first outreach email, automatically move them from "New" to "Contacted" - - After a follow-up sequence completes, update status to "Nurturing" - - When they respond or book a meeting, mark them as "Engaged" **How to use it:** In your Gig Vault workflow editor, add the new "Set Partnership Status" step. Choose which status to assign, and the workflow handles the rest. No more manually updating spreadsheets or forgetting which venues you've already reached out to!
