Help us plan the 2010 concert season

(Written by Jim Band on December 9, 2009.)

We had a wonderful time presenting two completely sold out performances of Jon Schmidt, and we very much appreciate your patronage.  Before Jon took the stage we showed a brief video featuring music samples of 5 artists that are on our short list for our 2010 concert season.  Those in attendance voted for their favorites via a feedback form.

We know that not all of our patrons could attend the Jon Schmidt concert, so we decided to put the video online, and give everyone a chance to make their preferences known.  If you didn’t vote via a feedback card at the concert, just CLICK HERE to see the video and cast your votes.  The survey also has a place where you can write in the names of other artists you would like to see, and gives you an opportunity to let us know how we did on our earlier shows.

We’ll leave this survey up for a couple of weeks, then we’ll tally things up and announce the results.

Stay tuned!

Jon Schmidt Update and New Artist Preview

(Written by Jim Band on November 16, 2009.)

Only 12 more days until our November 27 Jon Schmidt concert.  Demand for tickets has gone way beyond our expectations.  The evening performance is once again completely sold out, and we only have 125 seats left to sell for the matinee performance.  We are beginning to wonder if we just might sell out both shows.  This is exciting!

If you don’t already have your tickets purchased, CLICK HERE to get them while you can.

Also at the concert we are going to introduce you to 5 artists that we have never presented before, and give you a chance to tell us who you would like to see included in our 2010 season.  It will be lots of fun, and will help us present the music that YOU most want to hear.

Jon Schmidt Concert Sells Out! Shall We Add a Matinee?

(Written by Jim Band on October 16, 2009.)

Wow!  The early demand for tickets to the Jon Schmidt concert caught us by surprise, and we are completely sold out six weeks before the show.  We are scrambling to see if it’s possible to add a matinee performance for the afternoon of Friday, Nov 27.

There are many details that have to come together to make a matinee possible, and one of the most important is knowing how many of you would want to purchase tickets at a flat rate of $10 each (no further volume discount).  We can only add the matinee if a large enough demand exists.

This is where you come in:  If you would attend a Nov 27, 4:00 p.m. matinee performance, please let us know right away.  Send us an email ( sales@jimband.com) and provide your name and how many tickets you would want to purchase.  If we are able to add the matinee performance, we will contact you and give you a chance to purchase seats before we put the tickets on sale to the general public.

Thanks for your patronage, and we look forward to hearing from you!

Jon Schmidt Tickets Now On Sale

(Written by Jim Band on September 7, 2009.)

I am pleased to announce that tickets for our 2009 Christmas concert, featuring the amazing Jon Schmidt, are now on sale.  Click Get Some Tickets to get started.

In a slight break from tradition, we are holding this concert on the Friday following Thanksgiving, instead of our usual Saturday, so don’t get tripped up by the change.

Jon will be bringing with him his fantastic cellist, so you will get to hear some of the amazing mashups that he does.  If you haven’t heard any of these, definitely check them out on YouTube.

Last year, when we did our Christmas show at the Venetian Theater in downtown Hillsboro, we heard nothing but high praise for this beautiful venue.  We hope that you will plan on coming  a little early so that you can enjoy the delicious food and beverage available in the bistro.  And unlike most venues, you are welcome to bring your food into the auditorium with you. (Since the seating is not reserved this year, I highly recommend this strategy!)

The Venetian seats a maximum of 400 patrons, and when the tickets are gone …. well they’ll be gone and unless you have some, you will be sorry!  So don’t delay, grab enough tickets for the family and a few friends.  At only $10 a seat (with our volume discount), how can you go wrong!

Want an RSRB souvenir?

(Written by Jim Band on June 24, 2009.)

That’s right.  How would you like a genuine souvenir from the Ryan Shupe concert and at the same time spread the word about the concert?

All you need to do is comment below and you can have a car magnet - an ad that, as you drive around, people will stare at.  WARNING: at first you will think people are staring at you.  That may be true, but they are probably looking at the advertisement.

So let me know and we will hook up and get it to you.

Thanks for helping us spread the word!

Ryan Shupe & the Rubberband

Ryan Shupe & the Rubberband

I do have a a confession I need to make. There is a little bit of pleasure I get when I watch people line up and fight for the best seats in the theater - bumping people over, tripping each other, shoving them out of the way… So I have made all seats general admission. The night of the concert is first come, first with the best seats.

All seats are $10, with a discount of 20% if you purchase 5 seats or more.  It will be at Century High School at 7:30 pm on Friday, July 17th.

So, come and get’m. We will be posting up RSRB information on this blog, so be sure to check back or get the RSS feed.

Check out their Facebook, Twitter and Youtube pages to the right…
