Meet the top booked impersonator on The Bash in September - Elvis tribute artist, Mike Slater. Mike has been a huge Elvis fan ever since he was a young child. He would sing and emulate The King's voice to escape the reality of the city he grew up in. However, it wasn't until later in life when he actually started singing publicly and performing at private parties.

Learn more about Mike's inspiring journey to becoming an Elvis impersonator, why he loves performing, and what advice he has for new members of The Bash.

Congratulations to DJ Noy for being the top booked DJ on The Bash in the month of June! DJ Noy is based out of Pennsylvania and has the wonderful opportunity to perform with his wife at almost every gig! This duo must be really dynamic as they sport a 5-star rating and 44 verified bookings.

Music is an important part of any celebration - especially weddings, birthday parties and corporate events, which happen to be the top 3 most requested event types for live bands on The Bash!

Clients are always looking to hire talented musicians for their special events to set the tone and ensure their guests have a blast. In fact, live bands are one of the top requested vendor type on The Bash and with our goal being to help turn these requests into bookings, we wanted to share some tips on how live bands can be most successful.

Just like you, all of our clients get a Control Panel (just as soon as they submit a gig request). Unlike you, our clients aren’t always so familiar with how to use their Control Panel as it’s often their first time on The Bash. That's why we thought it would be helpful to take you through the booking process from the client’s perspective, including some screenshots of the Client Control Panel.

Congratulations to The Mike Dangeroux Band for being the top booked live band on The Bash in May! The band is based in the Chicago area and is comprised of many extremely talented musicians, proven by their  5-star rating from almost 150 clients.
