Entertainment Report: Hot in Cleveland.
As one band member from the COMPANY MEN put it: "It felt like Summer Camp".
Our client is a Cleveland native and after she graciously gave us her personal city tour a while back, we fell in love with it, too. There is so much to do and see in this re-energized city that we expanded our horizons beyond the Rock'n Roll Hall of Fame and LeBron. And yes, those two are pretty fabulous, too!
So we were looking forward to returning here a few weeks ago to produce a very worthwhile event.
Event Producer Kristen Rensch: "Our client is very involved in local philanthropic endeavors, and this particular event was organized to thank the supporters of a unique local playground, that is equipped for special need families, for their participation. We hired the COMPANY MEN to provide the entertainment. The band was tasked to perform an intimate show for a small group of guests – and the setting could not have been more lovely. Guests were engaged, and quickly fell under the spell of their music and choreography, from the start of the custom event set."
We had been impressed by the COMPANY MEN during a showcase and we were not disappointed! Stuart, Brian, Daniel and Shawn came ready and prepared with their signature #throwbackPOP and mash-up medleys - they can seamlessly weave 16 tunes into one song. They engaged the distinguished audience throughout the performance. Due to the intimate setting, guests also had an opportunity to mingle with the group afterwards.
Kristen: "Due to flight schedules, we arrived Saturday evening and left Monday morning so we got to explore a bit more than just the airport and the event location. We even had a chance to visit the playground our event was benefiting. The guys are all talented, consummate professionals - and also just really nice guys! So, yes, it felt more like summer camp than a job. We were lucky to partner with them."
Daniel from the COMPANY MEN: "We love playing for a good cause. EventWorks had supplied us with a lot of information about this organization and Kristen was very supportive of our work. That allowed us to form a personal connection with the event. The playground serves families and we are all family men so we could truly relate to the audience and the foundation on that level. It really motivated us to make it even more personal and engaging. It was a great experience for us to play for this group and a pleasure to work with Kristen and everyone at EventWorks."
A few days ago some of our EventWorks' staff had the chance to experience the COMPANY MEN's record release and tour launch party. They had their full band on stage at Club Nokia in Los Angeles. The show was amazing and we wish them luck on their current tour.
TCM invited us to share their brand new video of their own material:
Janet: "I love the way they re-invent classic R&B songs, funk and pop in their mash-ups. The audience recognizes the songs but the COMPANY MEN give them such a new, very personal twist that the show is totally fresh.
We are happy to bring them to your event!"
