Ume Booking Agency Profile
Ume are an Austin-based indie band that blends explosive rock with the unbridled fervor of punk and the melodic refinement of pop. They have a devoted fan base due to their outstanding live performances and intelligent but approachable songs.
As a self-taught guitarist in a politically motivated noise punk band, Lauren Larson fell in love with playing loud, which is how Ume, which is pronounced "ooo-may," got its start. Lauren's music career took her from DIY youth run shows, like at the skatepark where she met bassist Eric Larson, to playing with her guitar idol Nancy Wilson of Heart and appearing on Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations, to Ume playing major festivals like ACL and London's Hyde Park with Black Sabbath. Lauren was committed to performing as if her life depended on it.
The band's most emotionally raw and beautifully vulnerable album to date was created by Lauren, bassist Eric Larson and powerhouse drummer Aaron Perez after taking a break to start a family. The songs are an exhilarating expression of courage, defiance and love. Modern Outsider Records released the much awaited and revolutionary album that was created with Grammy Award-winning engineer and producer Stuart Sikes (Loretta Lynn, Cat Power, The Sword)..

Frequently Asked Questions about booking Ume to perform.
Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like Ume in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking Ume or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
Ume'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 Ume for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book Ume, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing Ume. After we consult with them, we will provide a personal and accurate quote that includes: final costs, availability, and actual interest in being hired for your specific event or party.
CTI can give you the accurate Ume booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book Ume for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final Ume 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 Ume charge for an event. An example fee to book Ume is in the starting range of $15,000-$24,999. 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 Ume agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The Ume 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 Ume for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Ume agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Ume, 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 Ume 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 Ume, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
