October News and Highlights

Greetings!

Autumn brings a cool vibe to the event season in the city! We’re excited to be returning and performing at some of our favorite venues – and to discover new ones – for live stage performances, or to add a special musical experience to a celebration or to a corporate event.

We’re equally excited about the opportunity to perform in some of Philadelphia area’s best and unique venues for events of many kinds, from private events to go-to spots for music: Sunday Jazz brunches, wedding ceremony and wedding cocktail receptions, corporate signature events, gala benefits, holiday receptions, Jazz Night at a golf club, live performances at Jazz venues and cafés, and at a newly opened gem of a restaurant in our Old City neighborhood.

Checklist to consider before booking entertainment:

Music can make a big difference. It can create a special atmosphere; set the tone and elevate the feel of an event; strengthen connections to each other and make the occasion more pleasurable and memorable. And, choosing the right music is as important as selecting the right location or venue, as guests will remember the experience. Here are six factors you should consider and research prior to selecting and booking entertainment:

What is the theme and purpose of the event?

Where will the event be located (landmark building, hotel, tent, convention center, music venue, etc.) and what are the logistics of the venue sound-wise and visually?

What type of entertainment will enhance your concept?

What is the audience demographic?

Will there be any speeches?

What is the budget allocated for entertainment?

Gathering these elements will help visualize the overall event and help determine how music will fit into it.

The holiday season is around the corner. Make your holidays memorable!
