Thanks go out to David Hooper and the Music Business Radio team - what a great bunch of guys - and what a great service to the music community. Our episode has been released and is now available on iTunes!
Ed Bazel of the Bazel Group, Inc. has 30+ years of music industry experience and is a veteran producer of live events for Fortune 500 companies (and others) around the world. The Los Angeles Times called him "The Marco Polo of Modern Music' for his groundbreaking work in China.
If you want to book acts like Billy Joel, Cheap Trick, Hall & Oates, Huey Lewis and the News, Price, The Spinners, Styx, or Tina Turner, Ed is the man you want to talk to.
This episode talks about what big companies are looking for, how to work within a budget, how to use "social proof" to get more gigs, and more.
For those not on the podcast...
Cafe Habana is another great venue to catch jazz music. This place is tiny, and very posh. It is just off of Sansom street around 20th. I used to watch my friends band play there. Drinks are reasonable, and if you go you have to try one of their famous mojitos. They are killer, and after a few of them you will be boppin' and scattin' all over the place.
