Getting a cruise ship gig.

I get a lot of questions about what musicians need for a cruise ship gig. Well, luckily for you all I now work for an agency, Mike Moloney Entertainment,  that specializes in placing musicians and bands on cruise ships.  Over the past couple of weeks I have been putting together a series on the subject that walks you through the process of defining your talent, creating a great demo, how long it takes to land a gig at sea, filling out the paperwork, and then packing for your cruise ship performance job.  Here are the links to each article.

Part One: Defining your talent and branding yourself for cruise ship success:

We plan on releasing more information at our blog Musical Ship Life to help aid those considering performing on cruise ships. So check back often.  If you are considering playing on a cruise ship I would love to see your demo.  Just fill out Mike Moloney Entertainment's Talent Questionnaire and we will review it.
