Karaoke (KJ)
We have everything needed for your karaoke party including LCD TV, Professional Microphones, huge list of up to date songs and the sound system. We recently converted all the karaoke disks to digital to play them from a computer with CompuHost Karaoke Hosting Software with disk backups on the CD player. We can accomodate up to 7 people with microphones doing group singing at one time and we have a large selection of songs - currently abut 12,000 of the most popular karaoke songs from the last 60 years including a large selection of recent hits.
FAQ:
1. How do I book the Band, DJ, or KJ?
Contact Paul via phone or email and describe what type of event it is, the time frame, how the load in is for equipment, how much time in advance the band, DJ, or KJ needs to be set up, the date and location. Paul will email you a contract. Fill out the contract and return a 50% deposit to reserve the date and then Paul will contact the musicians if booking a band, sign the contract and return a copy to you.
When booking the band, Paul will contact the musicians and arrange subs for those with any prior committments after the contract is signed and returned with the deposit. I do not contact the band members until that is completed.
2. How long do you play?
Normal gigs range from 1 to 3 hours.
3. Do you take breaks?
Yes, we usually take a 10 minute break per hour or a longer break in the middle if it works out better for the engagement. We can play break music if we bring the PA so there is no dead time as well.
4. How far do you travel?
Depending on the gig, we will travel if all expenses and time per musician is paid. There is a surcharge for any gig outside of Utah, Salt Lake, and South Davis Counties. It is slightly higher to go to Park City or Ogden and much more for Logan, Moab, or St. George. Out of state is possible if transportation, meals, lodging and musicians extra travel time is included.
5. When are you available?
We are usually available in the evenings after 5pm as most band members have a day job or on Saturdays. Sometimes in the summers things change with vacations, holidays, and teachers being off track or off for the summer. As a general rule we do not do any Sunday gigs, and we try to reserve Monday evenings for the summer concerts that the family can also attend or other special occasions.
6. What size bands are your favorite?
We can do a variety of setups, but these are my favorites:
Full Band with Singer(s) 8 or 9 people depending on one or two singers
3 rhythm, 2 horns and one or more singers
Most groups start with Sax (me), Drums, Bass, and then your choice of any other instrument combinations (Vocalist, Piano/Keyboard, Guitar, Trumpet, or Trombone).
I can also book out smaller combos for light jazz or background music.
