Voted Independent Music Business Leader of the year 2024
Jayebird Bookings: Boutique Agency for Independent Artists
Meet Owner and CEO Jordan Stoute: An artist for artists
Welcome to Jayebird Bookings!
This is a safe haven for artists looking to expand their horizons and build bridges to new audiences. Let's get the credentials out of the way so I can get to the fun stuff. I have a Bachelor of Commercial Music from Belmont University with an emphasis in Music Business. Along with this, I have over a decade of combined hands-on industry experience in virtually every realm from PR, Release Planning, Artist Development, Branding, Live Performance, and Booking. As an independent artist myself, I understand first-hand what it's like to sing to empty rooms, and get paid in beer. I'm boots on the ground with you, and I have the hustle to create opportunities that help fund an independent artist career so those songs you've been sitting on can get recorded.
Live shows are the life blood of the industry, and nothing makes me more excited than connecting talent with opportunities that create career momentum! With proven results booking everything from bar gigs, weekend runs, and tours, I'm here to make the process of booking shows as seamless and stress-free as possible. If you've got a show that I can sell to venues...
Let's talk.
What you can expect...
- Consistent communication.
- A personalized and organized spreadsheet of your confirmed and pending shows with all the information needed that you will have full editing access of. I will keep this updated on my end for you!
- A collaborative partnership, someone in your corner.
- Month-to-month opt ins for renewal. No long-term contracts that create complacency, I will always hold myself accountable for results needed for you to continue each month as an artist on my roster.
- Hustle-never-stops mentality, always forward-thinking and booking shows months in advance.
- Honesty-- if something isn't working and I'm not getting enough interest from venues, we can rework strategy together and brainstorm better ideas on how to achieve desired results.
- Someone with your best interest in mind advocating for you every day! I will save you hours and hours of outreach time and negotiate deals for you.
- Individualized attention-- You aren't just a quick dollar sign to me, you're a long-term investment. An artist, a human, worthy of success. Let me be your no B.S. partner and help you navigate the craziness that is the music industry with grace, humor, and candor.

"I find purpose in advocating for the indie scene because I know it’s full of hard-working, humble, and real people just trying to make a dream happen. They are people who want bigger for themselves, to break out of the typical 9-5 matrix. It’s brave, and because that world is so full of dreamers there are snakes lurking around every corner ready to take advantage. I’ve had it happen to me. I’ve seen it happen to others. I’ve learned exactly how not to run a business first-hand through previous work experience. Safe places in the industry are few and far between for independent artists, and I take great pride in choosing to make that my niche."
"I eventually got tired of knocking on doors just for them to be shut in my face, so I built my own damn door!"
"I found a love of the hustle and bustle, wheeling and dealing, and the general organized chaos of working within the music industry. During this time, I recorded a debut album with my twin sister Madison at Revolver Recordings in LA with Grammy-Award-winning producer Mikal Blue, co-produced by Dean Dinning of Toad the Wet Sprocket. This landed us placements in platforms such as Medium, Today in Nashville, and Tennessee Star. Along with this, we signed a sync deal with Rock Salt Music and got some exclusive spins in stores such as Abercrombie & Old Navy. Our band is called Jaye Madison!"
