January 3, 2022—
To all of our Patrons, Fans, Supporters, and most importantly, FOUR-Heads:
It’s official (and this announcement is ‘way overdue)…
The Absolutely Music/FOUR GUYS IN TUXES office is closing its doors, after providing Quality Music for Corporate, Private, Political, and Charitable events since 1983.
This decision has been made due to reasons of health concerns relating to the Guy on the Business Cards (he’s doing fine, incidentally), his increased (happily) obligations at the Hogwarts of Music, and of the changing nature of the economics of this office’s corner of the Musical Marketplace:
We want to do lucrative business in an environment in which we’re comfortable, playing the mix of Musics that we enjoy and at which we excel, and that is no longer possible.
The phone numbers of all three of our locations have been disconnected, so please hang on to your business cards as curios/mementos/keepsakes, but don’t call the numbers (especially not the Newport number), as whoever gets them next will be really annoyed.
If the Guy ever figures out how to digitize (and edit out the bad stuff; hard to believe that there is any, I know) the hours of FOUR GUYS concert footage that have been provided to us by various arts councils, chambers of commerce, local-access cable channels, and some extremely generous friends (Hartley Pleshaw, Gerry Goss, and the First FOUR-Head, Mr. Ken Chin, among them), that footage will be posted here, and on the Guy’s personal FB page (which is completely public, by the way, feel free to check it out any time)…
…and who knows?
There may even be a YouTube channel dedicated to it, as well.
To the Greatest Audience in New England, the Nantasket Beach Crowd:
Thank you for making us look awfully good for 30 years!
(We love you madly.)
