i'm studying music biz now and alot of entertainment law. get everything in writing! a verbal contract is only legit if the person your working with is so honest they'd go against themselves in an arguement, let alone, whether they have any prior loyalty to you or not.(not likely!) and how are you going to prove who is telling the truth. you need a paper trail to prove anything and as far as a written contract is concerned, you need to negotiate your terms into a contract to get anything you want and protect yourself. if you just sign a venue's contract then its on their terms and they can put penalties in for you breaching the contract because they are protecting themselves.(not you) but if you take part in the contract or add your terms to their current contract and have them sign it you can protect yourself from them breaching the agreement. the best advice in matters of money and business is to take an overly cautious approach. though it sounds distrusting and cynical it will save you alot of headaches and wasted time in the future.
also a book i highly recommend reading: "all you need to know about the music business" fifth edition by donald s. passman
if your trying to make money making music this book is like the bible of music business
