Why Hire Band For Your Event?

By David Hill


There's one truth you'll discover soon enough if you just opened a bar, if you're having a wedding, if you're holding a block party, and that is: Where there is live music, there will be people. There's no better way to boost attendance than to hire band to play a show for the crowd.

The funny thing is, even a bad band will attract a lot of people. Have you ever been to a bar where a local band is playing, and they really kind of stink, but there are dozens of people in the cramped barroom, and they seem to be having fun in spite of the band's mediocrity? Obviously, you're going to be hiring a talented band for your event, but we mention this to make the point that it's not really about the quality or genre of the music itself. Whether you're hiring a country and western group, a jazz quartet or a four piece rock band, the fact remains that live music puts butts in seats, as the old showbiz expression goes.

Music has always held an important role in the development of the human species. Ever since we were living in caves, music has driven every facet of human life and culture. In tribal culture, drum circles and other musical traditions are carried on to commemorate a successful hunt or to mark a ritual. In the more developed world, we're never without our tunes: We keep the radio on at work all day, we put music on our cell phones, we listen to it in the car and we go to the bars to watch the local bands on weekends, even if we're not expecting them to be all that great.

The most important aspect of music is its social element. Like we said: Where there's music, there will always be people. Without Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra, we highly doubt that the baby boom would have been such a big boom.

The funny thing about it is that it's sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy: People know that where there is music, there will be people, so that's where they go. A live show is a great place to meet new friends, new business contacts, or some lookers of the opposite sex, and wherever you have music, you will have people.

Whenever you're trying to bring in a crowd, whether you're holding a company picnic, a public event, a big sale, or you just want to boost attendance at your bar or coffee shop, a live band is guaranteed to do the trick. People will always turn out for a live show.

A live band ensures guaranteed attendance. Obviously, the better the band, the better the turnout, but like we said, any music at all will net you a crowd.

And as far as a good lure goes, you really can't top live music. When you have a good band playing, you're probably going to wind up with more business than you'll even know what to do with.
