]]> This is a common question, and many entertainment companies handle it differently. One Five Six Four Entertainment has earned a great reputation for employing some of the most talented vocalists in the business. We are also proud to say that our vocalist lineup is very tenured, with the majority of them having been here for several years. We’re fortunate to have some of the lowest turnover in our industry. We take an “old school” approach, meaning that each band has a dedicated line-up of full-time members, rather than pulling from a “pool” or “roster” of various performers. This means that all of our vocalists and musicians perform and rehearse regularly as a cohesive unit, and you can generally expect to see the same performers from show to show. With that said, a vocalist role is like any other job, and people do occasionally get ill, or move on from their role for various reasons. For this reason, we must emphasize that while all of our performers are exceptional, the truth is that we only hire exceptional performers. We’re very aware that a dip in quality during vocalist transitions would not go unnoticed, and therefore consistency is and always has been our top priority, and this is why each performer is meticulously selected and extensively trained. We advise all of our clients to look at the show rather than individual performers, because the consistent high quality of our show has transcended our line-up changes for nearly ten years.

]]> A very common question is “What is the difference between Midtown 10 and Empire 6?” The short answer is “there isn’t one”.

Midtown 10 is the original band that started it all in 2009. Thankfully, due to the success and demand for the band, we were able to duplicate the formula that was proven to work, and Empire 6 was created in 2012. While some entertainment companies produce several (or infinite) versions of the same band, we elected to give Empire 6 its own identity. They immediately matched pace with Midtown 10, and both bands have now performed hundreds of events followed by rave reviews. While they each have their own performer line-up, both bands are produced and styled identically, sharing the same song list, choreography, mashups, and even the same amazing sound production and programmed lighting. They are always priced identically and offer the same packages.

Which one should you book? Well, which one is available on your date? Book that one. Did you see one at an event and fell in love? That’s the band for you. We don’t have a favorite, but maybe you do!

]]> We do request that meals be provided for the band and crew for events lasting 3 or more hours and all out of town events. The best time for the band to eat is typically before or during cocktail hour. Most events necessitate 14 meals for our band and crew. We also request that plenty of bottled water be made available near the stage, beginning at setup time.

The post How much power do you require? appeared first on One Five Six Four Entertainment.

]]> For our standard setup, we require six 20-amp circuits within 20 feet of the stage. The circuits must be exclusively dedicated for the use of the band. It is often necessary to make additional power arrangements with the venue, and these must be in place prior to the band’s arrival. It should be mentioned that multiple power outlets can still share one circuit and therefore may not supply enough power. Power can only be confirmed by someone familiar with the electrical layout of the room. Insufficient power can result in power outages mid-performance. In the event sufficient power isn’t available at the venue, the client must rent a frequency stable generator capable of producing a minimum of 20,000 watts, as well as a spider box with a minimum of 6 20-amp outlets (NO GFI breakers). Feeder cable for the spider box should be approximately 200’, or long enough to reach the stage from the generator location.

]]> The short answer is yes, you should rent a stage. And yes, the show will go on whether you do or don’t. A stage riser is highly recommended for all events. If you’re spending a good chunk of money on live entertainment, you want to make sure your guests can see it. Without a stage, the band will be largely invisible once the dance floor is full. A stage has a tremendous effect on adding energy to the performance, and it looks great in pictures and video (whereas no stage has the opposite effect). It also creates some separation from tipsy guests and $60k of equipment. We do not provide stages, but we can source them for you for a small fee. It is important that the dimensions of the stage, whether it be the floor or risers, be at least 20’ across and 16’ deep.
