A sweet New York Catskill Mountain slideshow video highlights waterfalls, moon-scapes and snow-scapes, set to Ben Rounds‘ rendition of ‘Silent Night’, for all the fans and supporters of Mountain Girl Photography & Design.
The local music movement depends on small businesses working together. Its a symbiotic relationship. The bar in town hires the band. The band hires a promoter/photographer/blogger. Its a busy night (as a result of the crowd-pleasing band being there) so the wait staff does well on tips. The audience is impressed, someone grabs a business card, checks out the website, and hires the band for their next event.
And so the cycle repeats.
The following is an example of how this all works: A local favorite, the Ben Rounds Band, was hired by a local venue. A photographer (me) put together the promotion of the event, and proceeded to video the 1st set. Next, an exciting new collaboration between the promoter (me) i.e. (Mountain Girl Photography & Design) and Fred Cristiani, aka bass player for B.R.B. then led to the latest production by MGP&D…a band booking demo complete with a fun time-lapse. Next, an employee of a local business hired the band for their upcoming outdoor celebration.
So do yourself, your favorite local band, and your community a favor: watch and share this booking demo, hire local bands, or at least support them at their gigs. Show appreciation by tipping the band, and keep them in mind the next time you want to hire entertainment. You will be supporting not just the local music scene, but local artists who specialize in the promotion of music, local restaurants, and everyone in between.
