HENRY ENTERTAINMENT TRIBUTE BUYER'S GUIDE
It's
hard enough these days to plan an event large or small. The entertainment can
make or break your club, venue, concert series, fair or event. There are many
tribute shows out there with many various claims. How do you know they are true
? How do you know that show will deliver what
they say they will ?
Some shows are unbelievably great and some are simply not so great. A
great show can be fun, and amaze audiences everywhere making you a huge success
!
How
does one tell a good show from a bad show ?
Well...here are my 5 helpful tips to insure that you are hiring a
good show.
With today's technology and studio tricks, an average or below average band/show can go into the studio and come out sounding better than life. This may not always be the case when they are performing live for your event. LIVE IS HONEST ! If they can't cut it live on video for someone else, chances are they will not be able to cut it live for you too ! With our shows, what you see is what you will actually be hiring. All of our video DVD demos are all live. Watch carefully for a common trick used by many. That is to record an audio studio demo,double track it and then LIP SYNC to that demo a live video thus fooling you to think it is an all live audio and video performance, when it is actually a studio enhanced recording and not sung live at all. There is a big difference between live and the perfect conditions of a studio to sound good. This practice is not an accurate or honest representation as they are purporting to sound good live and in tune when in actuality they probably are not able to sing live in tune and sound good for your performance Beware ! If this is the case,, You are not hearing the actual band performing LIVE but rather a lip sync thus not what you will get live when hearing the band for your show.
ASK YOURSELF THIS....DO YOU WANT TO FIND OUT AT YOUR EVENT FROM ALL OF YOUR GUESTS HOW HORRIBLE THE BAND SOUNDS ? Beach Boys music live is extremely difficult to reproduce and many claim they sound good using this trick !
2. BE SURE TO ASK THE BAND IF THEY WILL HAVE THE MEMBERS THAT ARE IN THE
VIDEO.
Many
shows (Particularly Beatles tribute shows) use what we call a "revolving
door" band member line up. They contract out with each player for that
particular player/part often times never even meeting that player until minutes
before the show. Good quality vocals require good quality vocal rehearsal with
the same members repeatedly to deliver all of the vocal parts properly in place.
Many times these "members for hire" are not well rehearsed resulting
in compromised vocals and a
compromise show. This is an embarrassment to all. All of our shows have a lineup
with the same well- rehearsed
members thus resulting in outstanding vocal
and instrumental performances for you.
3.
BE VERY CAREFUL OF JUDGING A SHOW'S POPULARITY SOLELY BY THEIR WEB SITE
SCHEDULE.
Yes
unfortunately, there are shows out there that actually fabricate, embellish
and/or inaccurately post fabricated
performances on their web sites that either do not exist or are for another band
in their line up. This is designed to deceive the buyer and lead them to believe
that the show is very "busy" thus
very popular when in fact they
actually are not. This of course is deceptive and far from honest and not fair
to you the buyer. Verify the web site shows with the venue by giving a call to
that venue. Verify the band on the web site is in fact the actual band that will
be at that venue on the time and date specified.
Do
you want to hire a band that is not honest with you ?
4.
ASK TO SEE REFERENCES AND ANY PRESS REVIEWS THAT ARE CLAIMED.
We
at Glenn Henry Entertainment Management carry copies of all of the above for our
shows.
5. DETAILS MAKE FOR THE BEST BELIEVABLE TRIBUTE PERFORMANCE
Look
for details. It's just got to be done 100% correct. If not, it is simply half
baked !
There
is no such thing as a tribute band that does a hand full of songs from the group
for which they portray filling the remaining sets with other artist material.
This is not a true-to-form tribute
band by definition but rather a simple variety band. Your not hiring a variety
band. Ask yourself..
Do they reasonably resemble the original artists ?
Are the costumes accurate ? Do they have the same amplifiers and
instruments, drum set from the era? Are
they performing the exact accents if it is a British show ?
Ask yourself, does the band just stand up there in costumes or do they
actually BECOME the artist that they
are portraying ? Do they move about
and speak in the same manner as the originals ?
Most
important ..Do they sing in tune ? (you'd be surprised)
Demand the best !
Top
notch tribute shows have studied for months (even years) and take the sound and
look very seriously. This is what a tribute show is all about. This is also what
separates the top shows from the cheesy ones.
If
you are paying for it, you owe it to
yourself to hire the best !
