So, you’ve got the catering. Check! You’ve got the extravagant decor. Check! You’ve got the overly excited—but, unfortunately, underwhelmed—crowd. You’ve got the lights, the cameras, check, check; but where’s the action? Something’s missing. The music. That’s right; here are six unique components that only live music can bring to your event space, ultimately bringing your crowd to life.
1. Audience Participation
Audience participation is one of the hallmarks of live musical performances. Nothing gets the crowd going like a seasoned band who knows how to involve the fans, be it through call-and-response, allowing individuals to join them on stage, shout-outs or serenades. It puts more of a personal touch on things, creating a memorable experience for all.
2. The “Touch Grass” Effect
In this social media era, it’s nice to see people gathered together “touching grass.” Getting people off of their electronics and into nature; or in this case, off of their electronics and into in-person interactions, is often next to impossible.
This is where live music comes into play. It attracts a crowd every time and simply generates a sense of community and good old-fashioned fun. True enough it might be daunting to know where to start if you’re in search of electrifying and professional live music entertainment options, luckily there are booking agencies that can help point you in the right direction.
Whether your event is indoors or outdoors, you’re still convincing people to leave the comfort of their homes (and their smartphones) to come over to your venue. That’s the beauty of touching grass and the brilliance of live music.
3. Intricacies and Nuances
One can truly hear the authenticity, mastery, and artistry behind the music, especially when the song is being performed on the spot with various intricacies and nuances in operation: it’s in the details.
Plus, this allows for a more organic and customized encounter with the listeners. The best part is this, the artists can easily play off of the crowd and segue seamlessly into the next set when it’s time to switch it up if perhaps they sense any boredom or disinterest, keeping the affair engrossing and on course.
4. The Surprise Factor
Then there’s the surprise factor. Nothing hooks the audience more than this little jewel here. From secret guest appearances, pyrotechnics detonated at just the right moment, alternating vibrant imagery displays, and improv jam sessions to unexpected solos, there’s never a dull moment.
5. Atmosphere
The atmosphere during live performances is incomparable. It provides an infectious environment, a particular warmth, a oneness of sorts, and to be honest about it, an escape for many. The auditory and visual aspects are positively stimulating; the concertgoers feel like they’re right there on stage with the performers.
6. Health and Mood
Let’s face it, dancing is good exercise, and good exercise releases dopamine, the “feel-good” hormone. Live music events offer a myriad of chances for cutting a rug and de-stressing, and therefore, will always be associated with regulating the mood—making the audience happy they came.
When planning an event, make sure to prioritize having live music there.
