Maryland, Virginia and DC's Leading Booking Agency

Sy Seyler got involved in the Mid-Atlantic music scene by playing original music in 1989.  Over the next few years he played drums in several bands including Return To Zero, Shock LaRue and Aislynn before forming The Reagan Years in 1996.  In those acts Sy was the booking contact, created promotional materials, reached out to new venues, negotiated compensation, hired production, worked with event coordinators, radio personalities and others involved with typical engagements.  It was quickly apparent that he was a natural leader and was able to tie together the artist performance with vendor requirements, venue dependencies and Marketing.   In 2011 Sy formed Getting The Gig Entertainment to convert his knowledge into a service that would help and inspire other professionals in the music industry.   Since then he has booked many engagements for various musicians, a number of nightclubs, festivals and private venues throughout country and abroad.  Sy pioneered the 80's multi-genre tribute band concept and grew a band from small clubs to headlining medium cap concert venues and festivals. He applies that knowledge to mentor the bands on the Artist roster.
