The Almost Booking Agency Profile

Book The Almost for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
The Almost, the emo-driven alt-rock solo project of Aaron Gillespie, the former drummer and sporadic lead singer for Underoath, the Christian metalcore band he co-founded, first appeared in the late 2000s. While Southern Weather was mostly a Gillespie solo project, later albums saw the Almost develop into a real band, giving rise to the more collaborative sound seen on Monster Monster and Fear Inside Our Bones. The Almost returned to work with their fourth album, Fear Caller, after taking a break.
The Florida-born Gillespie (who moved to Salt Lake City after his marriage) wanted to explore a different avenue for his songwriting outside of his hard-hitting regular job, so he decided to step out from behind the skins like one of his heroes, Dave Grohl. The songs on the Almost's melodically inclined debut album, Southern Weather, are conspicuously devoid of Underoath's metalcore sound; the album's first single, "Say It Sooner," features a rhythm guitar track that was directly influenced by Johnny Cash's original musical partner Luther Perkins, among others. Southern Weather was written as Underoath were recording their critically acclaimed album Define the Great Line (and recorded shortly after that album's completion)..

Frequently Asked Questions about booking The Almost to perform.

Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like The Almost in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too.

The Almost'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 Almost for your party.

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 The Almost booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book The Almost for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final The Almost 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 Almost charge for an event. An example fee to book The Almost 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 The Almost agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The The Almost 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 Almost for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the The Almost agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book The Almost, 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 Almost 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 Almost, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
