And we've only just begun. We're on our way to becoming the most ubiquitous network of talent promotion and booking vehicles in the world.
The Talent Salad Family of Websites
The Talent Salad family covers entertainment spectrum. Need a headline act? We can help. Need fresh, local talent? No problem. Need talent representation by an agency? You're in the right place.
Gig Salad | Gig Salad is an online directory of North American talent that easily connects talent buyers and event planners with entertainers.
Those looking for entertainment for private parties, concerts, corporate events, weddings, music festivals, fundraisers, launch parties or any other event search and connect with Gig Salad’s deep and fast-growing roster of talent.
Gig Salad boasts exceptional performers and speakers from across the entertainment spectrum- for a nominal fee, performers sign up with Gig Salad, get gig leads without hidden costs, finder’s fees or commissions. The feast awaits!
Gig Soup | An influx of requests for all types of talent spurred us to create Gig Soup, a website offering free entertainment classifieds. We set it up to make it quick, easy and free (how often do those words exist together?) for talent buyers, bands, festival producers and others to post notices as they’re looking for entertainment. Gig Soup also makes it easy for performers who are looking for gigs. It costs nothing to post a gig, and it’s 100% free to see and respond to gig postings if you’re already a Gig Salad member. The exciting thing about Gig Soup is that it doesn’t replace our current gig inquiry system… we have created this as an add-on to give our members even more gig opportunities. How 'bout some soup with that salad?
The Gig Salad Satellites | We recently launched the first of many sites in the Gig Salad family: Wedding Band Salad and Magician Salad, Elvis Salad, and Jazz Salad. We have developed the network to bring even more value to our members who sign up with us: better exposure, greater search engine visibility, and an opportunity to be featured prominently on a targeted website. The best part: a listing on these sites costs nothing additional for Gig Salad members! But we don’t leave everyone out in the cold: those who are not members of Gig Salad can get a free text listing by signing up on the site. Stay tuned- we’ll keep you posted on future launches in our network. The most current info on new satellite site launches is here.
Book The Best | Our success in the entertainment booking industry is the direct result of our professional integrity, unwavering consistency, and a commitment to wholeheartedly serving those who rely on us to find talent for critical events.
We book talent for special events of all genres and sizes. Whatever your mind can conceive, Book The Best can make a reality. We house a full roster of personalities, comedians, actors, musicians, singers, bands, and a complete speakers bureau for speaking engagements, lectures and appearances.
Our booking agency was born out of a growing need to secure headline acts for clients, spearheaded by Mark Steiner, who has been in the entertainment business for over two decades and in the talent booking and management industry since 1994.
Steiner Talent, Inc. | Steiner Talent was founded in 2001. Coming from a background of acting in film and film production, Mark Steiner decided to pursue a career in booking entertainment, first working as a booking agent for Big Bands in New York City, and with networking, countless hours of phone calls and research, Steiner Talent, Inc. was born.
Over a decade later and a massive database of festivals, agents, community concert series, clubs, performing arts centers and corporate buyers, and Steiner Talent has now turned its attention to talent management and development. Our aim is to work with a select number of bands, groups, speakers and entertainers. Dozens, not thousands. The reason for this is that true management and talent development takes time, energy and focus. The last thing we or our trusted clientele want or need is a dead-end relationship with a talent agency that does nothing to further their careers. The requests we receive for representation are many, but we can only select a few.
