Would Twitter be worthwhile? Or maybe evaluate the need for it/usefulness of it later, after the initial social media accounts have been launched?

I find all of that pretty easy with Wordpress, if you're going to be redoing the website. You can tie in a YouTube channel, a Google calendar, FB, and presumably all kinds of other social media.
The new website will definitely be via WordPress, just so he can manage the content if he wants to instead of sending it over to me.
If I can get him on to Twitter, yes, but I think that would have to be after the initial launch. He doesn't even update his current FB profile with gig info, so that's the first habit I need him to start. (Or just keeping me updated with that info so I can post it. I'm not picky.)
You can post to the WP blog by email, and then maybe have that update FB automatically?
Juliana, a friend recommended IFTTT (https://ifttt.com/). I believe that it allows one post on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc that posts across platforms.
Juliana, this is mostly way over my head, but if you sign up for a Buffer account, you can post social media updates to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and G+ with just a couple of clicks.
IFTTT is pretty sweet for platforms that would otherwise not talk to each other. (Tumblr, I'm glaring at you.)
Dana, what is IFTTT?
It stands for If This, Then That. [link]
Oh there we go. Thank you.
