Top 5 Reasons Why Live Music Is Always Better Than A DJ
I have spent hours and hours practicing my instruments and I have spent thousands of dollars on my education. I might come up with 20 Reasons. But I’ll start with 5.
1. Classier: The right band adds a certain amount of class to any event. A pianist playing a Grand Piano in a tuxedo of any event adds romance and dignity. A DJ behind a record player never will be able to create that effect.
When you hire a live band or artist, you are telling your customers and friends, ” I’m a class act.”
2. Versatility: DJs are limited by their recorded product and tempos on the recordings.
Musicians will a DJ ust to their surroundings. If the dance floor is packed, a band might keep the song going and won’t be limited to the length of the original recording.
A artist might additionally vary his tempo to the activities in a room. When I see a romantic couple dancing to Frank Sinatra tune, I will usually add that spark that I feel for my wife.
Granted, a DJ might have a repertoire that’s only limited by the amount of compact discs they buy. But a wonderful artist knows thousands of tunes.
I know I have could forgotten more tunes than I learned over the years. You’ll love watching the band ‘fake’ their way through a tune they haven’t played in years.
That kind of spontaneity is only possible when you use live music instead of a DJ. Which brings us to Reason #3.
3. People Love To See Other People Screw Up: Let’s face it. Musicians are human beings. we make mistakes like everybody else. Why is American Idol so popular? Because we all want to see a person fail. And succeed! Your friends and customers will love to try and “stump the band” when we’re playing at your Sales event or Product Rollout. (Watch their amazement when we succeed.) “Music is a Manifestation of Emotion. The feeling must always override the Technique” – Jan Hammer (Keyboards for Mahavishnu Orchestra and Jeff Beck)
4. Intimacy: There’s something surprisingly intimate about seeing a person play an instrument and create music on the spot. Music is magical. It is al most surreal. might a DJ play with emotion? Intimacy? individuals love to watch my hands as I play the piano. It is as If the music appears out of nowhere. When a artist performs for you, it feels like they are creating just for you — right on the spot. Magical!
5. Interaction: Not only will a great entertainer a DJ ust his show to a live audiences. A live band will interact with each other onstage. A DJ is only one individual. Doubtlessly a DJ might and will interact with his audiences. But a wonderful artist will interact so much better. additionally, just imagine the added dimension a live band will bring to your next business Event. A live band will interact with your audiences AND the artists in the band. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to a group of artists ‘hang out’ after the gig, you know what I’m saying is true. A DJ has only an audiences for interaction.
Music is truly the universal language. It transcends any barrier — geographic, cultural or economic. Hiring the right Musical Act will increase your ability to reach your customers and clients.
