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!
