Last Saturday I got perform for the Governor of Washington as well well as the Mayor of Seattle and the members of the Service Employees International Union.
This all began months ago beginning with some phone meetings to determine my client’s vision and desires. (We’ll call her Pat , because that’s her name :-)). We then did a site visit, at the conference center, to begin the process of figuring out logistics, lighting, sound system(s), staging, backdrops and a myriad of other items that come into play in order to make for a successful event.
After months of planning the big day finally arrived. We started off a wonderful cocktail party with my jazz quartet playing some low keyed Latin and smooth jazz sounds to an enthusiastic audience.
Later on that evening the Governor spoke, other presentations were made, and an African Drum Group and a Marimba band performed their beautiful sounds while bringing some fun cultural programming into the evening. For the grand finale, my Red Hot Band took the stage and we performed our Vegas Style Revue that featured a variety of Pop, Motown, Funk, Disco, Classic rock , Latin and more. For the remainder of the night the guests all partied, danced, laughed and a great time was had by all!
