We love working with City of Hilliard Recreation and Parks Department, Evan Blankenship , North to Nashville and Platinum TDM. Thanks for the excellent show guys!

I had this email this morning!

North to Nashville,

Thank you so much to you and your band members for Kicking off our Celebration at the Station, summer concert series in Hilliard. Wish we had better weather but still had a decent crowd. I had many attendees ask to have your band return in the future. We would love to book you at this series again next year! This is the first encore we have ever had in the existence of the series. The performance was great, and we truly appreciate you performing at our concert series.

When life deals you lemons, make lemonade...

Dear Artists,

Like you, we love music and particularly live entertainment and the current crisis is dealing a substantial blow to the special events industry. Most of us reading this make our living in whole or in part from the events industry which has ground to a halt as a result of steps taken to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus. We fully understand and appreciate the extraordinary measures being taken and our entire organization supports and encourages everyone to comply with all guidance provided by the CDC and local authorities.


This said, we also fully realize that many of the artists we work with, devoid of performance opportunities, are in a tenuous financial situation so we’ve been giving a lot of thought to what we can do to continue to support artists.


Below are a few opportunities we are prepared to undertake :


ALTERNATIVE TALENTS

The essence of what we do is serve as an employment agency specializing in live performances. That said, there is no reason that during this unprecedented time we can’t devote time to booking other skills and services you possess. During this time of social isolation live entertainment will be rare however work will still be needed. If you have skills and services we should know about please fill out the form below and let us know if we can help promote your other talents.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScsmSzfabr_okz_IOfqnWkZBMXKdHhXiLfL_It0Qa-lJkvfoQ/viewform


VIRTUAL CONCERTS

We are considering small performances from the CA Backspace streaming live on both Facebook Live, Youtube and possibly other platforms too. If this is of interest to you please reach out.


PROMOTING MERCHANDISE SALES

We want to help move any band merchandise you have for sale. If you sell music, t-shirts, hats, etc as part of your band’s business model please fill out THIS BRIEF SURVEY to let us know where music fans can go to support you through merchandise purchases. This page on our website has been setup that will display all the results and once we have a decent list going we will actively market it to our clients and local media.

https://class-acts.com/band-merchandise-links/


STREET SHOWS

As the weather warms up we plan to organize some Isolation Concerts. These will be 100% self contained mini shows on sidewalks, porches or streetside. More information on this to follow but if you have interest in participating please let us know.



DONATION LINK

For those of you that have the means, Lisa Cave has set up a GoFundMe account to assist with local musicians that are in immediate need of financial assistance. If you are able please consider contributing or, if in need, applying for support.


The live performance community is strong and we will endure and survive this. If you have ideas on how we can support our community please share them. We have a great team that works daily to advocate for and support our industry.


Warm Regards,

The Class Acts Team

Tammy, Lily, Katie and Paul

As a talent agency we want to find concrete ways to support the artists we work with that have been sidelined due to the COVID-19 crisis. Since finding work for talent is what we do we'd like to hear what other skills or talents you have that we might be able to put to work until the live entertainm...
