A number of videos of David speaking and singing are on the Video page on his website: davidlamotte.com/videos. If you click “watch on YouTube” on any of them, you can get a link for the individual video, or you can simply link to the videos page.
Sample Press Release
Here is a press release for a concert — you can take this draft and substitute you own concert’s information, and distribute it to local media. Feel free to leave the contact information as Stephen Knight or to substitute your own publicity contact. I am very happy to do interviews with any media that may want to cover the event.
