Jackie Blue--Funk 'n Roll Music

The story behing the band and our album Complexification

We finally had a chance to write down the story behind the band, writing and recording our album Complexification and what that word actually means. Be the first one on your block to know the truth! www.ComplexificationMusic.com

Airplane musings

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 31 Jan 2006 10:04:00 -0500

While flying back from New York City to Detroit, bad weather turned the usual 1 hour and 15 minute flight into well over 2 hours. With this extended flying opportunity, I had the chance to listen to both sets recorded live during Jackie Blue's New Jersey show on our Archos Gmini. The Gmini is an amazing music hard disk recording device, measuring about 2 inches by 2 1/2 inches, it not only plays back MP3 and WAV audio files but also records uncompressed CD quality WAV files (16 bit word at a 44.1KHz sample rate). The recording sounded great and I'll be posting some samples on the Jackie Blue website. www.JackieBlue.com

I also came to the following conclusions while circling Detroit in the clouds waiting for our turn to land:
1) There's going to be no end to the "Alice" jokes that were started on stage by Carrie and a certain "White Rabbit" song.
2) How is it the Airbus can build an airplane that's slow, noisy and uncomfortable (the A320 series) while Boeing's 737 are none of these things?
3) By any standards: singing, song writing, stage presence, height; Fee Waybill of the Tubes is one of the most underrated lead singers. And their live shows were just amazing.

Musician's Hurricane Katrina Fund Raising Tour: Final Update

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 28 Nov 2005 01:35:00 -0500

We're in the news:

What started out as a series of web postings on Jackie Blue's Music Tour Network tribe site musictour.tribe.net has turned into an unprecedented union of grassroots support for the survivors of the devastating hurricanes. The Detroit band produced the tour, recruited the show organizers, established the tour routing and ensured that promotional material was available from the national level to the local level.

The results: 38 artists and 11 shows later, spanning venues across New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, and California, $9,301 was raised for 4 not-for-profits: American Red Cross, Little Stuff Fund, Habitat for Humanity, and the Humane Society.

The grassroots team is now formally organized under the banner of the Music Tour Network (www.MusicTourNetwork.com). With the wonderful team of show organizers, artists, venues and sponsors who were the ones that made this tour a success, we now have the network in place to support worthwhile causes and simultaneously introduce great musicians to cities where they normally wouldn't be able to play. Special thanks go out to all of the people who came out to support this tour!

Networking

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 22 Sep 2005 14:59:00 -0500

I'm a regular reader of web based networks ranging from Dave here on Great Lakes/BlackStain to Jenn at MidwestMusic.com to Mitch & Rick at MichiganBands.com, Mary at MichiganArtists.com, Derek at CDBaby and a bunch of others. The common thread that all of us who either play, promote, manage, or own a venue is networking. Many people don’t see the value in this and instead they prefer to not work together--to each their own. We support the above people and communities commitment to helping each other by trading shows, letting other artists know about shows available to them, and helping to get artists paid for their hard work while making money for the venues that support live music. As we all know, this is not an easy thing to do in this industry.

I'd say booking is that hardest thing to do in this industry. Coordination between the agents, artists, and venue can be a real challenge. And by booking, I mean in major and smaller markets throughout the Midwest. To help move this along, we moved what was originally a discussion topic on Tribe.net to form the Music Tour Network www.MusicTourNetwork.com

This growing team of people, which includes folks from the above named websites, is focused on bringing together artists, venues and promotion people who strongly believe in two ideals:
1) The unshakeable belief that music is the world's language.
2) Trust

For now, the Music Tour Network is building a tour route that spans from New York City, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago and smaller cities between. To make this work for everyone who wants to tour and make money we need three things:
1) Local Host artists in each city that we can count on to do what they say they’re going to do: Organize a great show, perform a great show, draw enough people to sell the venue out, show up on time, no bad attitudes
2) Traveling artists who: Perform a great show, show up on time, no bad attitudes, and agree to organize a show on their home turf and invite the Local Host artist from another area to perform
3) Venues: Who are interested in working with us and gaining confidence that the right mix of local and out-of-state artists will make them money.

And there's the key issue for venues: Making money. I've done a lot of financial consulting for music and entertainment venues and they are in a difficult financial situation as well. From their perspective, it's less expensive to pay one DJ to spin a record or do karaoke, then it is to hire a band, rap group, or even duet to perform live--Less equipment, lass hassle, and more money for everyone.

So how can bands and venues be successful? Hardcore advertising and getting the word out: Using Myspace and all of the other websites plus E-mail is step one. But the real work comes by following up with phone calls and arranging to sell tickets in advance. (Note: This is not the same a "pay-to-play" since you’re not going to get “fined” for not selling tickets). If you’re the Local Host artist or from the area where the venue is located, it’s your job as part of the network to fill the venue up with people until it's bursting at the seams. The traveling artists will have little draw at your venue, but when it's their turn to host a show, then the burden is on them to draw like crazy. Note: Please be conservative with your estimates on draw--it's much better to promise 100 and bring in 200 than the other way around.

As an example: With effort, Jackie Blue will draw 150-200 people for a local show. So we assume for planning purposes that our draw will be 100. If a show at a venue will be sold out at 300 people, we need to team up with 2 other local bands that will very conservatively draw 100 people each—as proven by selling 100 tickets in advance of the show. Then the fourth, opening band (Traveling artist) can be brought in without the concern of having to draw.

In this way the artists play to a packed house, make money, and the venue makes money and sees our collective commitment to help the venue prosper. It all requires cooperation and planning between the show organizers, artists and venue (lots of phone calls and E-mail).

As positive examples on how to get people to shows, I know of at least three people who do this very well: Shannon and Greg from Zuby's band and Carrie from Jackie Blue.

If you have your own ideas, suggestions, or positive examples on how to expand our combined artist's network, I welcome them.

Independent Musician's Hurricane Katrina Fund Raising Tour

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 5 Sep 2005 19:00:00 -0500

The Music Tour Network: www.MusicTourNetwork.com

From small towns to large cities across America, we're asking you to join us in helping raise money for the victims of Hurricane Katrina through the common language of music. At this early stage of the aftermath, net proceeds will be donated to either the American Red Cross or the Little Stuff Fund.

Many of us have either lived in the areas struck by the hurricane or have family and friends who presntly live there. Saving lives and giving people a hand up who are in need is what this tour is all about. The first step is to raise as much money as we can so that the victim's short-term needs will be met: Water, food, medicine, clothing and shelter.

Austyn Chalifour benefit show. Hypothalamic Hamartoma

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 11 May 2005 13:07:00 -0500

Austyn Chalifour. 3-years old and in need of major surgery. Hypothalamic Hamartoma (HH). A big name for a simple condition: A benign tumor is intertwined with Austyn's hypothalamus (brain area that controls breathing and other basic body functions) and his optic nerve.

It's the surgery that's the problem.
How do you remove the tumor without killing our blinding Austyn

But without the surgery he looks forward to:
Gelastic (laughing) seizures, sometimes tonic-clonic and drop seizures, "hypothalamic rage" behavioral problems, and frequently precocious (early) puberty. Some people with HH are also affected by Pallister-Hall syndrome, an extremely rare genetic disorder.

We're doing our part to give Austyn the money so that he can have the surgery.

Detroit & New York City Music

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 4 May 2005 08:07:00 -0500

Awesome week of hearing live music!

If you're in New York City check out Steve Broderick and his band American Trash. This guy can sing anything.
Website: www.americantrash.us

Also, Z02 put on a great show and rocked BB Kings.
Website: www.zo2.com

In Detroit, saw the infamous Velvet Revolver show at the Palace. Scott, Slash, Duff, Matt & Dave. It shouldn't be legal for these guys to be on stage together--what an awesome show! They don’t need the complicated sets and video for support, they are the show. Especially when Scott runs across the entire Palace and up into a suite to sing a song. Added bonus: Two encores with Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" and GNR's "Mr. Brownstone."

Jackie Blue: Detroit Band's Musical Succeeds in Raising Funds for Charity

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 18 Apr 2005 10:18:00 -0500

With the last guests leaving Detroit's Severance Gallery on late Sunday morning (the event started at 7:00pm on Saturday, April 9th), Jackie Blue's "Roaring 20's Masquerade Ball" was a huge success!

With any event there's always the opportunity to learn from the good and the bad. With this "final event report" we want to share with you what we learned so that you can incorporate this information into your next event. We'll also name the names of the people and organizations that were critical in helping make this event a success.

Based on our experience with the Jackie Blue "2004 Halloween Masquerade Ball", we had solid financial figures from which to assemble our event budget (see Table 1 at www.jackieblue.com/Roaring_20s_news_release_5.PDF). Through a rigorous cost reduction program, we were able to significantly reduce our total budget. We analyzed each line item to determine its value for our target market. Those items that had little value or were too expensive were eliminated. Frequently we were able to obtain discounts in return for agreeing to a long-term working relationship with trusted partners and vendors.

Sponsorships continue to be an important method for funding a large event. We had 3 levels of sponsorships (see Table 2 at www.jackieblue.com/Roaring_20s_news_release_5.PDF). Each sponsorship package was priced to be of high value when compared to other advertising and sales channels. Sponsors had the option of purchasing a sponsorship outright or providing the event with an equivalent value in services or products. Then we went out of our way to promote our sponsors prior to, during, and after the event--going beyond the performance that we had agreed to.

Success with sponsors was measured by:
1) The amount of business that we generate for them during the 6 months following the event.
2) An increase in awareness of their business due to our unique events by measuring changes in inquiry rates via the web, E-mail, and telephone.
Our original sponsors have returned and we’re now being contacted by new sponsors for future events.

We're firm believers in taking good notes. Taking a chapter from Detroit's manufacturing heritage, we used an Action Item List that quickly summarized who was required to do what by a specific deadline. The Action Item List was distributed once per week (sometimes more frequently) to each of the team members. By using this technique, it was easy to determine who was keeping up with their workload, who needed additional support, and who needed to be eliminated from the team. The Action Item List was also supported by very detailed notes for reference (35 pages for this event) in case an issue arose at any point in the event planning process.

Event Objectives
1. Fun: Bring together the art, music, fashion, and business communities of metro-Detroit.
2. Raise money for charity: Friends for the Dearborn Animal Shelter
3. Ambassadors to Detroit: Bring new people into Detroit from the suburbs and provide them with a solid example of a fun, safe evening in our city.
4. Support our artists: We continue to be a proponent of paying our artists and venues.

How did we do?
The overall impression by many folks who live in the suburbs is that Detroit is dangerous and that the only thing fun to do in the city is attend large sporting events. To overcome this barrier, we continue to plan quarterly mid-size events (100-500 people). During the Roaring 20's Masquerade Ball we passed out event evaluations forms and received comments such as:
"I was afraid to come to Detroit for the event, but after being here, I felt safe and had a wonderful evening."
"I met several people who I expect to do business with in the future."
"I loved the combination of music, fashion, and art."
"Didn't know that Detroit had anything to offer besides sports."

The event demographics speak for themselves:

Jackie Blue's "Roaring 20's Masquerade Ball" Event Demographics
Gender
Male 52%
Female 48%

City
Detroit 8%
Outside of Detroit 92%

As with the 2004 Halloween Masquerade Ball (benefit for Habitat for Humanity-Detroit), we were again successful in raising funds for our charity. We ask our artist community for a lot during charity events--long hours and challenging working conditions, to name a few. We successfully continued our mission, which we started in 2004 with the Halloween Masquerade ball, of paying artists and the folks that work on charity events a fair wage.

Why do we do this? All of us on this team have volunteered for a variety of local and national not-for-profits over the years. We all struggle to raise the smaller amount of money required to keep a charity’s full-time operations running. The monthly fluctuation in available funds is very stressful for the hardworking staff and also takes time away from their primary goal.

Because we historically ask venues and artists to not only give of their time, but to do so without any monetary compensation, while most venues and artists agree to help, it's not their number one priority since they like to be able to "eat." Therefore they choose to participate in events that pay them first and we end up with only a few fund raising events per year.

This new fund raising model has been proven to be successful. We continue to focus on producing regular fund raising events throughout North America for worthwhile charities. This will go a long way to giving charities a regular source of money for their ongoing operations.

Friends for the Dearborn Animal Shelter-We're approached by many charities asking for our help. The vast majority of them have worthwhile missions. When we select a charity, we look for a mission that we believe in and people associated with the charity who are willing to give of their time to make the fund raising event a success. Elaine Greene and her team at Friends for the Dearborn Animal Shelter are a good example of a proactive charity. Contact them at www.dearborn-animals.com

CatharticMedia LLC—Josefine and Mathew Martin epitomize the "can do" spirit. These are some of the hardest working folks we've had the pleasure of working with and we plan to produce future events with them. It's a tribute to their talent and work ethic that the Roaring 20's Masquerade Ball was such a success. Contact them at www.CatharticMedia.com

John Cowley & Sons—Fine food, friendly service and flexibility is what you get from Matt Goyette and his team. Check out their website for fun new events at their Farmington, Michigan pub: www.johncowleys.com

Splash Media Group—Brian Heath and his team are the perfect example of professionalism. They do quality video and photography at reasonable prices. Most importantly, they understand the "big picture" of what you're trying to achieve and they also sweat the details. To retain them for your next event: www.ispgroupinc.com

31 Seconds—Having met Aaron, (A.C.), Dan, Aaron (Al), and John several years ago in Brooklyn, Michigan, Jackie Blue has had the opportunity to hear these guys grow musically. Not only does their music rock but these gentlemen are some of the kindest folks you'll meet. Check out their awesome new song "Fine By Myself" from their new CD "31 Seconds" by E-mailing them. And yes, Aaron does have the coolest bass guitar.

Fashion designers—with the success of the television show "Project Runway" designing clothes now looks easy. The reality: Combine deadlines and last minute changes, with the need for fresh ideas, and only the best survive. Special thanks to Susan Libertiny (E-mail: susan_libertiny@yahoo.com), Se, Shampoo, Rachel, and DelonDetroit (www.delondetroit.com) for their amazing take on 1920's fashion.

Hair & makeup—how do you prepare 20 models for the runway in a very short amount of time? Bring in the best. Thank you to Shannon @ Onesistah (www.musecube.com/onesistah), Bocci Salon (Phone: 586-254-4343), and Marcia Dionne (www.musecube.com/beautybydionne)

Fashion models—The Beach Boys were wrong. We wish they could all be Michigan girls. The Roaring 20's Masquerade Ball proved that beyond a doubt. Check out some of their photos at www.JackieBlue.com and click on "Photos."

ASME Southeastern Michigan—in the motor city, this is a solid engineering society. With over 2,000 members in Southeastern Michigan and 100,000+ throughout the world, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers is the premier engineering society. Website: http://sems.asme.org

MichiganBands.com, MidwestBands.com, and Tribe.net—Without these three websites, the Roaring 20's Masquerade Ball wouldn't have happened. The folks from Jackie Blue and CatharticMedia first met by using these online communities.

Rick, the webmaster of MichiganBands.com is the ideal person for bouncing ideas off of and he has an endless supply of energy. www.MichiganBands.com.
Jen & Mark Lush are the dynamic duo who run MidwestBands.com. They are extremely supportive of local music and have helped us in more ways than you can be imagined. www.MidewestBands.com

Darien Patchin is the marketing guru at Tribe.net in San Francisco. His positive attitude and support of Tribe's 80,000+ grassroot members speaks volumes about the importance of this global network. Join tribe for free at www.Tribe.net

Michael R. Meike—tying together the entire event with the story of Nick Fudrich was our narrator, Mike Meike. Mike has been performing improvisational theatre for the past 10 years and it shows. His ability to effortlessly roll with the invariable last minute changes of a live production were very welcome. Check out his work at Brainstormers www.brainstormersfun.com

Jackie Blue—Finally, very special thanks to my musical family: Carrie Firth, Chris Mick, and David Dupuie. Without your friendship, talent, hard work and dedication, none of this would have been possible. Our music is available at www.JackieBlue.com and David's artwork is available at www.DavidDupuie.com

Celebrate the explosion of art that occurred during the 1920’s while heralding in the new golden age of art in Detroit!
Although each individual component of the Roaring 20’s Masquerade Ball would make for a fun evening out on the town, it’s the grandness of this event that sets it apart from all others. The Roaring 20’s Masquerade Ball is a Sound & Vision Musical that tells the tale of Nick Fudrich, a Detroit River dock worker during the prohibition era. As with the finest fashion collections, several common threads are used to tie together the individual components of this production: Music, fashion and staging inspired by the 1920's. Actors to give the event its grounding. And a bold narrator.
