Blue Sky a band for all weddings
I haven’t blogged about one superb band in Atlanta, Ga. enough. I guess that’s because it is my own band! So, now I am going to blow our own horn for a bit. For the past twenty years, Blue Sky has entertained dancing and listening audiences for special occasions. This Atlanta wedding music band brings a lot to any event. Passion to please our clients, the heart to make the music as authentic sounding as any cover band in Georgia and an unrivaled variety is the backbone of this group.
I have always loved looking out our audiences over the years and watch people enjoy our music dancing while having one great time. Our play list grows as our clients ask us to perform a favorite of theirs that may not be already on our extensive play list for a couple’s first dance or a father daughter dance. I genuinely love to perform for weddings and parties. As I told someone today, Blue Sky is unique as their variety repertoire includes a classically trained pianist (me). So, a bride can have her ceremony musician, band and DJ wrapped up in one package. Yes, we have the capability of providing a DJ for our breaks. That means that you are getting a super band as well as a disc jockey!
Just ask a few of our past clients and they will tell you comments like: “I can’t believe the variety you guys have!” or “That was more than we expected!”or “This is one of the best weddings we ever attended as we danced all night!” The proof is in the pudding. We feature all genres of cover music selections from the 40’s to today. And yes, very proudly, I can say that Blue Sky is a band for all weddings!
Hey, That Looks Just Like Me
I remember a few years ago getting caricatures done by a professional artist for two of my kids on a visit to Savannah, GA. I thought to myself, boy this will be great! They will love them and have souvenirs to match. Well, the whole idea backfired when the artist, shall we say politely, was a little challenged talent-wise.
And, my kids did were less than enamored with his work done to make them grin one day in the future. Instead, I found them a few months later in the back of their closets!
Blue Sky Atlanta Music & Entertainment scours the landscape for superior artists to work at our special events. It is just the type of entertainment that most people may not think of right off the bat but, when we recommend a caricaturist to them and they try it, they are usually pleasantly surprised with the outcome. We had a client just last week like the artist’s work being done so much that she asked him to stay an extra two hours! All the guests were thrilled. Drawing has always been one of the things I wish had been talent in. But, like inferior quality musical talent, some caricaturists outshine others and there is no return on representing nothing but the best!
If you are a talented caricaturist, or know of one, send them our way. We may just have a spot for another good one!
The middleman myth
There will always be the consumer that feels that bypassing the useful services of a talent agent or “middle-man” is best the way to go. And, while this may seem like a wise move, bypassing an expert and choosing to go it alone is a step that before you take it, has some inherent problems worth pondering.
1) Time-saving factor: Where do you start and how do you know what is going to be a good fit for you? If you find someone online and begin that way they may talk a good game but then, you realize later, that they aren’t what you had in mind. For example, a nightclub band may not be suitable for a formal wedding reception.
2) Money-saving factor: Believe it or not, using the right middleman can save you money, especially if you combine services for example, a wedding ceremony musician with the Band or DJ for the wedding reception.
3) Screening Time: Going out to a venues to hear the talent you may be considering for your event can take many nights and many miles of traveling throughout a given metro area. Chances are, that after an initial discussion, the agent will know which performer(s) are best suited for your event long before you do. Besides, this may be the one and only special event in your life that you plan. Why gamble with it’s outcome? If you work with a credible talent consultant with many successful years of representing bands and DJ’s you should benefit greatly.
Casino Party Love
There’s nothing more exciting than a casino party. People relax and have fun without worrying that they are putting their own real money at risk. We love bringing the essence of Las Vegas to the Atlanta corporate world. It is really quite easy to get the ball rolling. We generally ask for an idea of the size of the guest list, what their favorite casino table games are and take it from there.
Blackjack, Roulette, Hold ‘em Poker, Craps and even slot machines are available to highlight the gaming theme of your party. You want to make sure that your proposal has all the tables listed accurately and there is adequate staff and equipment necessary to make the evening’s festivities flow. Prizes for biggest chip winners over a set amount of time (usually 3 hours), door prize raffles and any announcements are handled expertly by our staff.
You can add a DJ or a small jazz, perhaps, to the menu. With either of these ideas performing in the background, you’ll really be able to recreate the days of the “Rat Pack” in Ocean’s 11. What you wind up with is a casino party that will talked about for years. And, it just might bring that group closer together for an evening away from the office!
