By Scott Talarico

By: Chaquis Maliq The EccentroSoul 1 Woman Band From the idea of playing multiple instruments, simultaneously, while singing, to pursuing a music career without being signed to a major label; I’ve been described as “crazy” instead of unorthodox. I’ve been sabotaged by ex-band members, so-called loved ones, and more. But what would the EccentroSoul 1 Woman Band exist without the adversity and triumphs of my career? Absolutely not. The actual written definition of “eccentric” is … Continued

Bazooka Ball

“Yes, last-minute we had to change location due to their being confusion with reservations, facilities, and the campus police. It ended up working out though as the change of location ended up being better for Jay and the setup with electricity being right there and not having to be setup. Those who played seemed to thoroughly enjoy the game, and we want to thank you for all of your help and assistance through the booking process. We look forward to continuing working with you throughout the rest of this semester and those to come. “

— Paige, East Stroudsburg University

Casino Night

“I would like to extend our deepest thanks for working with us to make this event a success! It was incredible to witness the joy on our students’ faces as they won it all or laughter if they lost it all. I am profoundly grateful for how flexible and accommodating you have been with the entire process and how willing you were to meet our needs. Casino day went over quite well from start to finish, the folks that set it up were incredible and really easy to work with.”

— Fran, SUNY Plattsburgh

Will Jay

“Everything was wonderful with Will Jay. He was easy to work with during the event and our students truly loved having him – I have already received requests to bring him to campus when we are allowed to do face to face events again. Here is what one person text me after the event, “I hope you can tell Will Jay how powerful it was, I’m talking to so many people about it and they all loved it and were touched by his songs and words”. There were multiple messages in the chat during the event last night talking about how amazing his lyrics were, his voice, most importantly students were able to relate in to the messages he was talking and singing about. I think Will Jay has a new fan base here at CMU and they are going to consume the music he has out now – and are eagerly anticipating what he has in store.”

— Wade, Central Michigan University

Mike Fritz

“We had Mike Fritz in for our Inaugural Leadership Summit and he did not disappoint! What makes Mike so effective is his energy, humor, and reliability, the students instantly were hooked on his every word. Before booking Mike, I had done my research and thought that his high re-booking rate was just your typical marketing hype, but I can assure you that if you have him to campus, you will want to re-book him. We re-booked Mike immediately following his workshop for 2 more dates!”

— Joshua Drahos, Student Activities Coordinator, Pratt MWP College of Art and Design

Maximize Your Buzz

“You [Max Buzz] made an impact on my decisions. That night I planned to go to a birthday party, and I was excited to drink with all my friends. However, after going to the program, I didn’t want to drink anymore. I just wanted to hang out with my friends, and remember the night rather than waking up the next morning wondering how I got home. So I know you don’t know me personally, but I thought you should know that you made a difference.”

— Brittney Gilman, University of New Hampshire, Student

Brian Ledbetter

“Brian Ledbetter’s performance for SpikeNites at Gonzaga University was absolutely mind-blowing! Mr. Ledbetter was amicable with our staff, as well as, very adaptable amidst our unexpected lower turn-out. His adaptability truly shined through his ability to engage the crowd and provide an exceptional performance. We had many students leaving the show awe-struck and sharing the events on social media! It would be a pleasure to host Brian Ledbetter for future events at Gonzaga University.”
