Tell bookers about your band and why you’re passionate about your work.

The first step for new bands being listed to find more work is to complete in full the required fields when you begin your subscription. Many acts just copy paste the full description from other online platforms but this is less likely to help them get jobs.

Here we have a created a custom description that "sells" a band and will appeal to bookers looking to fill jobs and opportunities.

Our band formed from a shared love of live performance and the electrifying energy that only a tight-knit band can deliver. We’ve spent years refining our craft—blending pop, rock, soul, and funk into a seamless live experience that speaks to every generation. From our first gig in a tiny downtown bar to headlining large-scale festivals, our passion has always been the same: to create unforgettable musical moments that bring people together. We pour the same dedication into learning your event’s unique vibe, crafting setlists that honour your vision, and delivering every note with authenticity and heart. Seeing a crowd united on the dance floor, strangers singing along in unison, and couples sharing smiles onstage fuels our commitment to excellence and reminds us why we chose this life on the road.

What Sets You Apart
While many acts rely solely on pre-mixed backtracks or basic cover arrangements, our group thrives on spontaneity and genuine musical interplay. Our lineup—featuring sultry saxophone solos, dynamic percussion rhythms, and three-part vocal harmonies—adapts in real time to the energy of your guests. We seamlessly blend live instrumentation with state-of-the-art audio and lighting cues, turning any venue into a fully immersive concert. From surprise mash-ups and crowd-chosen encore songs to custom remixes of your favorite hits, we transform each event into an interactive celebration. Our behind-the-scenes professionalism, transparent communication, and willingness to tailor every detail ensure that your party stands out from the rest—and that your attendees leave buzzing about the band, not the playlist.

Entertainers are no strangers to life on the move. Whether it’s musicians touring with their bands, actors performing in regional theatres, or magicians working on cruise ships, the lifestyle often means long days, late nights, and plenty of time away from home. While it can be exciting and rewarding, it also makes it easy to forget about looking after your health – especially something as important as monitoring your blood pressure.

High blood pressure, sometimes called the “silent killer,” often has no noticeable symptoms but can lead to serious health problems such as heart disease and stroke. For entertainers constantly travelling, it’s important to find convenient ways to keep track of it. The good news is that you don’t have to wait until you’re back home to get checked. Pharmacies, walk-in clinics, and community health centres across the country often offer quick, affordable, or even free blood pressure checks. Some events, like Blood Pressure Testing Week - Know Your Numbers, also set up mobile “Pressure Stations” that make it easier than ever to pop in for a test between gigs.

If you’re on the road a lot, consider investing in a portable blood pressure monitor. They’re compact, easy to use, and give you peace of mind wherever you are. Keeping an eye on your readings and making small lifestyle choices – like staying hydrated, getting enough rest between shows, and limiting late-night fast food – can make a huge difference. And if something doesn’t look right, you can always contact a GP remotely or arrange a follow-up when you’re back home.

Entertainers put so much energy into making audiences feel good – but it’s just as important to take care of yourself. A simple blood pressure check takes only a few minutes, yet it can protect your long-term health and keep you doing what you love for years to come.
