The Starting Line Booking Agency Profile

Book The Starting Line for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
American pop punk group The Starting Line was established in Churchville, Pennsylvania. The members of the group are Brian Schmutz (keyboards, vocals), Kenny Vasoli (vocals, bass), Matt Watts (guitar), Mike Golla (guitar) and Tom Gryskiewicz (drums). The group has released four studio albums, is most known for their rock radio smash "Island" and their popular tune "The Best of Me." A hiatus was started by the band, which lasted for a while before coming to an end. Since then, the band has only occasionally gone on tour.
Based on a True Story, the band's major label debut, was released and thematically, it marked a departure from the post-relationship pattern that had predominated on their earlier releases. Many of the tracks on this album (such as "Inspired By the $", "Autography" and "The B-List") were specifically influenced by the band's contempt for the executives of their record label Geffen. In contrast to the band's efforts, the album sold 42,000 copies in its first week as opposed to just 11,000 for its predecessor. The semi-headlining Nintendo Fusion Tour with Fall Out Boy took place after the release. The Starting Line had their record deal with Geffen terminated at their request a few dates into the tour, making them free agents.
"Somebody's Gonna Miss Us," a 2-disc package including The Starting Line's first-ever live concert CD, movie and documentary DVD, was made available by Image Entertainment. Friends and family fans gain insight into the group's inner workings and a career that spanned nearly a decade, five releases and thousands of performances through candid and in-depth interviews with the band..

The Starting Line's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking The Starting Line for your party.

"How much does it cost to book The Starting Line for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final The Starting Line booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will The Starting Line charge for an event. An example fee to book The Starting Line is in the starting range of $40,000-$74,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the The Starting Line agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The The Starting Line manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book The Starting Line for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the The Starting Line agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book The Starting Line, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the The Starting Line booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for The Starting Line, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
