Before dreaming to play for Woodstock, try to book for smaller gigs like Town Fairs, County Festivals, or City Free Concert Venues. Another way to get exposure is to gig for a large audience at a Local Fair or Festival from your area. Most of these gigs will require you to play for free to get exposure, but some do pay once you get a good following. Do some research on the internet or from local bars, etc., to see what agencies take care of bookings for your festival or fair. Moreover, give out your local band business cards after the show. This is good promotion for your band to be noticed in case someone may want to book your indie music act in the future.
