If you're shopping around for live music,
may we give you some advice ...
 Let's
start with what you should look for in a band...
• Ask about the
types of songs they play and
the audiences they play for...
If the band's styles suit you,
fine. If not, look for a group with the instruments and vocalists
that can deliver the kind of music you want your audience to hear.
Be realistic: a cool band you heard in a bar may not be able to
do party tunes for people over 30 or Big Band favorites for a
more mature audience.
• Match
the band to the venue...
For example, it might be unwise
to hire the Rolling Stones or an 8-piece rock band for a wedding
anniversary at a small Legion Hall in Urbandale.
Make sure the band and its equipment can adapt to the audience
and location where your event will be held.
• Look for a professional
attitude...
Be sure to clarify, in a contract,
your expectations for the clothes the band will wear, the type
of music to be played, the number of breaks taken,
and when equipment set-up and tear-down will take place.
Check that the physical stage and power needs of the band are
adequate.
These are practical things YOU can direct
and they are as important
as the music in making your event a quality experience!
