By Mitchell Peters, L.A.

OurStage.com has launched a new online tool to help up-and-coming acts book concerts, while allowing music venue talent buyers to browse for new talent on the road.

The Web site’s new Marketplace tool allows bands to sign up for a free electronic press kit, which can be viewed by talent buyers across the country. Concert bookers can also listen to music the artist has uploaded to OurStage, which is ranked by fans who use the site.

To help push the new online tool, OurStage has teamed up with Live Nation, which has reserved 300 performance slots for the site’s top-ranked artists.

OurStage allows artists to upload music and videos, which are later voted on by fans. Since launching in March 2007, the Web site has partnered such music festivals as Bonnaroo, Bumbershoot, Newport Folk Festival, JVC Jazz Festival Newport and Noise Pop.
