You spoke, we listened...and we're booking musicians left and right.
We're booking bands and creating jobs all over the tri-state area. Weddings, Mardi Gras parties, cocktail hours, and Sunday brunches. If you or your friends are trying to add sparkle to an event, book a band at www.musicfortomorrow.org.
MFT has been written up or mentioned in the press quite a bit in the last several months - since the launch of our new band booking service. Some of the places we have appeared are the Huffington Post, Wall Street Journal, BizBash, Rent the Runway, Blackbook, Celebzter, among others. You can find these stories on our media page.
For the last couple years, we've been singin' down by the Bayou, swingin' in San Francisco, and movin' to that New York City beat. And then we took a step back -- how can we have a greater impact on the creative economy?
After a year of thinking and building - we launch our band booking service today.
1. Name your own price.
2. Choose a band (create a job).
3. Enjoy live music.
After months of development, today we launch our beta website, which is a platform that helps book jazz musicians for gigs.
Recently, we have fielded questions about our organization that our website did not adequately answer. In order to make MFT's site transparent and useful to our visitors, we have updated much of the information within.
Did you see Apple’s iPhone 4 commercial?
There was no loud music, no black silhouettes dancing around the screen, no splashes of color and basic text. The commercial showed images of the iPhone with the audio of Louis Armstrong’s classic "When You're Smiling."
The commercial sparked some debate over whether Apple was losing their edge or their touch.
One of the most hip and relevant companies, with only a small market share in the desktop/notebook market, has embraced jazz which has a small market share of the music sales market.
Though jazz has a small market share, we're convinced that many desire the music. They want to book jazz bands for weddings, graduation parties, cocktails or a private home performance. That's why we're investing in and building our gig booking tool. Every time you book a musician through Music for Tomorrow, we'll allocate money to charitable causes that benefit New Orleans.
It's a work in progress, but we are nearing completion of our beta launch website and will share it with you soon.
