* Routing Of Acts.

I thought that some of you guys might like to see a “typical” e-mail (Jeff Eats received it this morning) that Florida booking agents, concert venues, country clubs, social directors, resorts, HOAs literally receive every day-from artist management companies-concerning the booking of talent. The gist of these e-mails is to arrange for ACTS to “get” a number of booking dates in the same geographical-area…this results in the buyer paying less for the ACT because various expenses are shared by multiple buyers.
*****

Trust that you’ll get quality entertainment perfect for a variety of venues, at a bottom-line price!

National television exposure and a sold old tour with Ricky Nelson launched them to international stardom. “26 Miles” soon hit the airwaves and their young lives were changed forever. That million-selling song (9 million at last count) about the “island of romance” became what Dick Clark called “the first surfer hit” and took the Pop world by storm.
