There are three certainties in life: Death, taxes, and the people-drawing power of a live show. Wherever you hire band to play a little Rock and Roll for the people, you can always expect a crowd to gather.
How many times have you gone to see a band that you knew you weren’t a big fan of, because what the heck, it’s a rock show, so why not? It’s not just the music, it’s the culture surrounding the music. Even if the band isn’t really playing your type of music, you know that you can go to a concert or a local show to meet new friends, to hang out, to have a few drinks and not feel like you wasted your Saturday night. Simply put, music puts butts in seats.
Music has always held an important role in the development of the human species. Ever since we were living in caves, music has driven every facet of human life and culture. In tribal culture, drum circles and other musical traditions are carried on to commemorate a successful hunt or to mark a ritual. In the more developed world, we’re never without our tunes: We keep the radio on at work all day, we put music on our cell phones, we listen to it in the car and we go to the bars to watch the local bands on weekends, even if we’re not expecting them to be all that great.
The most important aspect of music is its social element. Like we said: Where there’s music, there will always be people. Without Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra, we highly doubt that the baby boom would have been such a big boom.
A live music show is what a marketing expert might call a great lure. It brings people in. From there, it’s up to you to keep them interested. Obviously, a car lot that brings in some Rock and Roll to draw the crowd isn’t going to make so many sales if they don’t have good deals to go along with it. But the fact remains, a live show does bring’em in.
You need a good lure to bring in the people, and when hosting an event, running a business, or really doing anything that can benefit from a social atmosphere and big crowds, bringing music to the people is always a great way to bring the people to you.
Now, of course, the better the band, the bigger a crowd you can expect to see at your event, but the fact remains that any music at all will bring more people in than a few fliers and a face painting booth. Music drives human culture, with no music, there are no parties, with no music, there really is no event in the first place.
In public relations and in marketing, people are always trying to come up with great new lures, new ideas to bring in bigger crowds, but they have yet to top the drawing power of live music.
