Live music. That common saying may contain some truth, but these days the word “live” is having less and less to do with music. For many people, a disc jockey is their form of live music. Despite what disc jockey’s would prefer to have you believe, musicians make great entertainment.
In the first place, individuals find pleasure in human performance. Many performers prefer great athletes are multi- talent ed. They will croon on the tenor saxophone right to your soul, then turn around and chunk out a funky rhythm on a Fender Stratocaster. can a disc jockey performance a turntable behind his head or with his teeth? Professional performers love to sing and groove on just about any style of music from a Frank Sinatra to Outkast. They just find pleasure in playing when the listeners is responding to their performance.
In the second place, artists are students of the arts. Musicians do not merely “push buttons.” They’ve had years of practice in their homes, and they do their thing on stage. Un like disc jockey’s artists do not try to sing over or add other loud or strange noises to program music. Once a song starts it flows to the end and in the unfortunate gathering of a power shortage artists could continue to entertain acoustically until power is restored. Even non-professional artists generally understand “the show must go on” concept.
Lastly, one of the the majority attractive features of bands as entertainment is the affinity among them and their fans. Watching a wonderful drummer is never boring because they’re unending ly moving…feeling. an animated solo violinist playing an old wooden Stradivarius violin has a much greater chance of reaching into your soul and stirring your feelings than a disc jockey with an array of magnetic speakers and digital amplifiers no matter how wonderful his system sounds. It is an apple trying to be an orange. It is the difference among human blood and electricity.
Contrary to popular opinion, performers can be affordable. Just like with a disc jockey, locating a performer well in advance and securing them with a low down payment, the price can be negotiated to avoid costly or inadequate entertainment. Bands will even throw in a free cocktail hour or an extra half hour at the end to gain a date! many performers are now offer ing ” disc jockey time.” This is when the musician hat comes off and the disc jockey hat is put on to performance the Techno, House, Hip-Hop, etc…Genres of today. individuals who have small get togethers ought to appreciate these characteristics of bands. Nonetheless, many individuals who have large get togethers opt to have performers because they love the musician personal ity. In many ways, musicians are the ideal entertainers.
