Come out and support this worthy cause!

I've had the privilege of being asked to provide music for this upcoming event - a fundraiser for The Sonrise Equestrian Foundation.  Sonrise provides horse- related therapeutic services, free of charge, to children ages 6-18 who are facing social, emotional and physical challenges.  I also have the privilege of knowing some of the volunteers, and have also worked with this organization in the past.  Both are top-notch!  This is a VERY worthy cause!

Visit the contact info shown on this flyer to find out whether tickets are still available for this event.

The next chance to meet your DJ!

Business has been pretty steady for me recently!  I've been fortunate enough to have provided music for a couple of the downtown Danville "Thursday Night Street Festivals", a couple of birthday parties, one of the "Hot Summer Nights" classic car shows (also in downtown Danville), and a wedding!

Heading into this next weekend (on August 22), I'll be stationed over at The Rose Garden shopping center, just on the south end of the downtown area.  The occasion will be the 10th annual "Art & Wine Stroll".  This event will actually be happening at 3 different locales, including the Hartz & Prospect "core" of downtown, as well as the Livery shopping center.  An iconic Trolley will be shuttling attendees between the 3 areas.

You can purchase your ticket and wine glass for $25 online by going to discoverdanvilleca.com.  If there are any tickets remaining on the night of the event, they can be purchased at The Cottage Jewel on west Prospect Ave.  A handful of craft breweries will be represented as well, mainly at the Rose Garden stop, which is where I'll be set up.  Organizers have told me that while the ladies attending might be more interested in the wine and shopping, the husbands might be more interested in those craft beers - - so come prepared to hear some music that leans a little more toward the classic rock vibe!

Summertime Fun!

I look forward to seeing you at these and other events this summer!  Please come by and say hello!

A stroll thru downtown Danville...

Warmer weather has returned, and with it, the start of the outdoor event season!  One of the first upcoming events is the spring Wine & Chocolate stroll in downtown Danville on May 9.  I'll be there doing a little emceeing and providing some background music.

I've also been asked to provide a similar role for the Thursday Night Street Festivals happening on July 11 and August 8, as well as the summer Wine Stroll, which is on August 22.  Complete details for each of these events can be found at the Discover Danville Association web page or facebook page, and/or at the Town of Danville website.

These outdoor public events are a perfect opportunity to come meet me in person and watch me in action for a bit.  And Danville's great downtown area makes it an ideal location, as well.

I hope to see you there!

Imagine...

If your next event were to have a light show along with the perfect music, wouldn't that just be WICKED AWESOME?!?

We do more than just play music.

Sound system/speaker rental, background music, playlist generation (themed events), sound effects library, and more.

Oh - and we also have the most popular songs from each of the last 10+ decades.  Let's start planning your next event!

The old is gone - the new has come!

A new year is filled with opportunity.  New chances.  New challenges.  And for many people, a new attitude about facing these opportunities.

While looking forward to the opportunities of 2013, I want to thank all of the people who helped make 2012 such a good year - party planners, vendors, service personnel, event staff, and all of the proverbial "Uncle Frank"s who got up the courage to get out there on the dance floor and have a good time.  I live for those "Uncle Frank" moments.

Here's hoping the 2013 is filled with many more.

Aaaaah... Christmas!

If you (like me) have less-than-perfect vision, and rely on corrective lenses to help you see clearly, doesn't it sometimes seem like all of the lights at this time of year appear to be that much prettier when you remove your glasses (or contacts)?

I almost pity the poor folks with 2 good eyes who have to go through a process of "cross your eyes, and then close one of them - is it still blurry?".  SO much easier with myopia!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

We have a new e-mail address!

Thank you!

Come meet your DJ!

The place to be on a Thursday evening in Summer is right here on the streets of downtown Danville!  There's usually something pretty interesting going on, whether it's a classic car show, a wine & food tasting, or in this case, one of the Thursday Night Street Festivals.

I'll be there again as well this year, serving as the emcee for the Kids Zone, and playing alot of fun music besides!  Whether it's something as classic as "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" or something as recent as "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted", I've got the soundtrack of your childhood - even if you're a grandparent!

Of course, that's true no matter what type of event you're planning, or whatever the theme is going to be.  With my large and diverse collection of songs and sound effects, the soundtrack for your event is going to be unique!

The Thursday Night Street Festivals are scheduled for July 12 and August 9, and I'll be there for both of them.  For more information, visit discoverdanvilleca.com.

Summer!

I still have several openings available for your summer events!

The right music will enhance whatever type of celebration or group gathering you're planning ~ pool parties, engagements, family reunions, themed events, going-away parties, wedding receptions, tiki or island parties, picnics or neighborhood bbq's, block parties, staycations, patriotic celebrations, street festivals - you name it!

So contact me today, and let's co-ordinate our schedules.  Let me help make your event a positive, memorable experience - for you and your guests!

Graduation 2012

Does the school your child attends have a graduation ceremony of some kind? Is there typically a long period of time that the grandparents and other relatives are sitting around in uncomfortable chairs or bleachers prior to the start of the ceremony?

How about making that time a bit more enjoyable by having several decades' worth of the best music playing? It could be yours - and for a price that won't break the bank! Contact me today!

Are you planning an Oscars party?

For your consideration, I'd love to be there, over in the corner, providing the ambience!

With hours of material - literally hundreds of Hollywood-related songs, sound clips, and iconic film themes - I've already got the perfect playlist for your event! Just think; while you mute the commercials and have your movie trivia contests, the actual movie memory could be right at my fingertips.

Let's put together a production that's worthy of an award of it's own!

Just got engaged?

Did someone you know get engaged recently? I do Engagement Parties! And if you're planning a bash sometime in early 2012, there's still time to take advantage of 2011 pricing if you book with me now, by Dec. 31.

And congratulations on your engagement!

Buy now, before the prices go up!

That's right, just like postage, our prices will likely be increasing slightly in 2012. That's probably not such a big deal, since the "other guys" will still be charging even more.

However, just like the "forever" stamp, if you book your 2012 event(s) with us now, prior to Jan. 1, you can get our 2011 rates! For a standard 4-hour event, that could mean a $100 savings!
