Artist Services
EAO’s artist roster comprises the cream of entertainers from Newcastle & The Hunter.
From our very beginnings, EAO Entertainment has represented artists we are genuinely proud of.
We believe music matters, not simply as entertainment, but as a powerful cultural force that connects people and creates unforgettable moments. That’s why we work with artists whose talent, professionalism and passion inspire us, and why we remain committed to helping exceptional performers build meaningful and sustainable careers. If you are serious about your craft, we’d love to hear from you.
We understand that great artists do their best work when they can focus on the music.
Our role is to take care of the business behind the performance, from bookings, contracts and communication to schedules and the countless details that make successful live entertainment possible. Built on respect, honesty, partnership and professionalism, our approach is designed to create long-term success for our artists.
While we love music in all its forms, we make no apology for striving to work with the very best.
Whether you’re an emerging artist with something special or an experienced performer looking for the right representation, we’re always open to discovering outstanding talent.

Frequently Asked Questions
You’re serious about your music, but what’s next? How do you make the leap from part-time muso to full-time artist? We know stepping into representation comes with questions, concerns, and plenty of myths, you’ve heard them, and so have we.
“You guys are just a bunch of suits, you don’t understand me or my music!”
Our passion for music and those who perform it is the very reason that EAO came to be.
Everyone here at EAO is a musician or artist in some way, meaning we understand the value and importance of your own creativity.
We’ve lived through it. We know from our own experiences how great it is to have an agent behind you who supports and nurtures your talent. Your success is our success.
We’ve been helping and supporting musicians for over 30 years, making us one of the most long-standing and respected entertainment companies in the Hunter.
“Agents are a rip off!”
We’re sure you’ve heard this one before. However, in reality, it’s quite the contrary. We only charge a 10% commission fee on all the bookings we arrange for you. We also avoid accepting payment on behalf of our artists to maintain transparency. The commission fee goes towards our work to source and secure all of your gig and function bookings, and handle all of the organisation and business details. We also offer additional promotional services and marketing support to all of our artists to help ensure they are taking the right steps to get the best out of their music career.
Our ethos is to give 100% support to our artists, and to develop mutual respect. We believe in an equal working relationship to get the best out of each other.
“Once I sign the dotted line, EAO has total control of my career”
Once you sign on to be represented by EAO, we are working for you and for your best interests.
We strive to recognise each of our artists’ needs, and do whatever it takes to achieve our collective goals.
There is no specific length of the term for EAO to represent you. Our relationships with our artists are open and honest. Should one of our acts decide it’s time to move on, or vice versa, the decision will be met with respect and amiability.
In consultation with you, the artist, EAO can advise, suggest and guide you in your career. If you don’t agree, we won’t do it. It’s not about control, it’s about working together to achieve the goal.
