Below you'll find a link to a template for a Band Agreement that will help you write your own Agreement. In my book 'Music Is Your Business' I explain some basic facts about typical band agreements. I also suggest that you and your fellow musicians should try and write up your own agreement before consulting with an entertainment law attorney.
