Ask Jerry: What If The Band Is A No-Show?

Posted in Ask Jerry at 1:33 pm by Leigh Peterson

Q: My wedding is in December, 2008 and I booked a band through another agency (sorry!). Now I’m worried because the band doesn’t return my calls. What if they just don’t show up at my wedding?

Mary M.

A: First of all…next time book the band through us :-)

Seriously though…I guess it’s a little late to be sure you always have a contact number that’s direct to the band leader. Even though we communicate with our brides through the entire process, we always supply contact info of the “go-to” person in the band.

Since you booked through an agency and they’re obviously not co-operating with you, I think it’s important to get a little demanding at this late date. Insist on a phone call or email from the responsible party. Demand a little attention. It’s part of the package and this is your big day, not just another gig for the band.

Remember your “ace in the hole:” This is a referral business and any reputable band, DJ, or agency will want to keep their client happy and saying only nice things about them. Don’t hesitate to mention all the people you know who might (or might have!) used their services in the future.

Heart & Soul to Perform at House Of Blues Benefit Concert

Posted in News & Updates, Public Events at 1:14 pm by Leigh Peterson

JUNGLE JAM TO ROAR INTO HOB FOR WORTHY CAUSE
Local Bands Star in Benefit for Bone Marrow Disease Research

Jungle Jam, a rocking benefit for bone marrow disease research, comes to Cleveland’s House of Blues (HOB) on Friday, October 17, 2008. Several well-known local bands will play between 6:30 p.m. and midnight.

Heart & Soul, Blues de Ville, Eclyptic, Horizontal Party and Rusnak Jarrett Jazz will share their unique sounds on the HOB stages. In addition to live music, Jungle Jam will feature a silent auction and special guest appearances. The ticket price includes hors d’oeuvres and drinks.

Proceeds from this unique event will benefit research for bone marrow diseases being conducted at Cleveland Clinic by Dr. Jaroslaw Maciejewski, one of the world’s foremost specialists. Bone marrow diseases are non-contagious, rare and potentially fatal illnesses in which blood production in the marrow is disrupted. Complications can arise, including the inability of blood to clot and susceptibility to infections. Right now, the only cure is a bone marrow transplant.

Jungle Jam was created by Jeff and Sherri Kitzberger of Cleveland Heights, whose 8-year-old daughter, Annalyse, was diagnosed with two bone marrow diseases in 2005.

Jungle Jam promises to be an upbeat, fun-filled event for a worthy cause. Tickets start at $125 and are available now and at the door. For ticket information, call 216-297-9062 or visit www.makeithappen4bmd.org.
