"As you attempt to get your gigs reviewed, invite the music critic especially when you open for someone better known. They are very likely to have interest in seeing the main act, but your invitation just might get them there early enough to finally catch your show. Again, as you keep your media contacts informed about upcoming gigs, they may eventually accept one of your invitations."
