What is TopCatLive?
Topcatlive is a registry.  It is a directory of contact information for professional entertainment artists of all genres, businesses that serve and support the entertainment field and the businesses, organizations and/or individuals that present the artist’s end product or service.

How Do I Get A Listing At TopCatLive?
Groups or individuals interested in being listed (registered) at topcatlive must be either referred by reputable source (someone already on the site), solicited by TopCat, fee based, or all of above.  All circumstances are considered in fees (based on ability to pay - maximum and minimun in full effect).

How Do I Find Artist I Am Looking For?
Use the Search Box in the upper left corner.  Type in name of artist (typing in city is optional, if known).  Click the TCLIVE button and use the returns to locate your artist.  The Profile link in the main menu is just as fast, but if you are unsure of the category of an artist, the Search Box is suggested.
