Before You Hire a Band or DJ... Read This

Rockin' Rick's Live Music DJ Show is a unique approach to entertainment that has proven to be a hit with audiences everywhere. The show will impress anyone who sees it because it combines popular DJ dance and party songs with live guitar and audience sing-along's. The combination of live instruments performing along with DJ music is a dynamite mix for entertainment, and if you don't believe that, just check out the crowd reaction at a Rockin' Rick show!

The concept of performing live along with DJ tracks is something I developed over the last several years, and now I'm excited to see other top level DJ's around the country beginning to use live musicians at all their shows to play along with their DJ music. Rockin Rick Testimonial

Adding live instruments to everyone's favorite DJ songs gives the music a totally different "Live" feel, and allows for an unlimited variety of music. Audiences love the mix of music I play and the professional quality sound my show produces. I've won multiple awards, including "Male Vocalist of the Year" and "Entertainer of the Year", using my unique entertainment formula.

Here's What People Say About the Rockin' Rick Live Guitar DJ Show:

“Rockin’ Rick’s show is amazing; we’ve never seen a DJ show like it. He not only plays and sings great, he also mixes Country, Rock, Oldies, Hip Hop, Classic Rock & Roll, and even Tejano DJ Music all together with live guitar!"

"Rick has dynamite in his pocket with this show…"

Zack - from the "Zack & Jim Morning Show"

- The Longest Running #1 Radio Show in Central Texas

“Rockin’ Rick performed for our son's wedding and it was like having a live band and DJ all in one. Rick was GREAT! We just wish we would have known about Rick before we hired the last DJ for a party we had. The party was a disaster because the DJ we hired from Austin was terrible."

"After having Rockin' Rick we're spoiled. There's no comparison between Rick and any other DJ we've seen..."

Kenneth Hilton - Wedding Reception

- Family Ranch near Waco, Texas

“What Rick does with live entertainment is groundbreaking. His concept of playing live guitar along with DJ music is one of the most innovative things I've ever seen."

"When Rick shreds his guitar to some Carlos Santana or Stevie Ray Vaughn, he has the crowd absolutely eating out of his hand. This is a must see show."

Tom Shatuck - Marketing Dir."Lion & Rose Pub - San Antonio"

DJ Myth #1: All DJ's are pretty much the same, so you may as well hire the cheapest one you can find.

Nothing could be further from the truth. It is true that many DJ's are boring and don't really have a deep knowledge of music, but when you see the Live Guitar DJ Show you will never think of DJ's in the same way again. My show is in a different league and can't really be compared to a standard DJ show. If you don't believe me, come see a show and you will understand why this is the hottest entertainment formula around.

DJ Myth #2: DJ's are not as popular as live bands.

If you go to the most popular dance clubs in your area you will find they use DJ's 99% of the time - not live bands. They may occasionally have a live band come in, but if they do it very often they will start losing their crowd. The reason DJ music is the choice of the top clubs is the variety and quality of the music a good DJ can provide. Top DJ's, many of whom are now performing with live musicians on stage, earn as much as $10,000.00 per night in places like Las Vegas !

DJ Myth #3: If I hire a DJ, all they're going to play is Rap and Hip Hop music.

Unfortunately DJ's have been stereotyped over the years as baggy pants wearing, profanity spewing rappers with a PA system. Let me assure you that those types of DJ's don't work very much at the higher levels of corporate and club entertainment where I work. The ability to read a crowd and choose the right music at the right time is a skill that takes years to develop, but that one skill is the difference between a bad DJ and a great one. My show is always audience appropriate, and you'll never hear profanity coming from my stage.

The Entertainment game is not the same as it was a decade ago...

Live Bands Are Getting Worse And Crowds Are Burned Out On Them!

Crowds these days are not impressed when it comes to bands and singers for a number of reasons:

1. These days people can hear live music in more places than ever because most part time bands and singers will play for little or nothing just to get on a stage. One of the worst things that ever happened to professional entertainment was the introduction of shows like American Idol that encouraged people with little or no talent to believe they could become a star. Thousands of wanna-be singers around the world have watched those shows, and gone out and bought a guitar and started a band, believing they're good enough to be a professional! The fact that there are so many amateur local bands these days has hurt the quality of entertainment overall, and that's why it's usually a crap shoot with local bands. You may personally like a certain local band, but that does not mean your crowd will like them.

2. Local bands play music they like, or even worse, they try out original music (songs no one has ever heard) on your poor crowd! A band is usually confined to the 30 or so songs they have rehearsed and know how to play. Here's a powerful entertainment secret: Crowds want HIT music - not unknown songs from a local band!

3. Bands just aren't usually very entertaining. Nearly every local musician you see is a part-time amateur performer. Because of this, most of them never really learn how to connect with a crowd or relax enough to provide a good professional show. It takes years to develop the skills necessary to be a good entertainer, and most local musicians aren't interested in entertaining, they just want to play their favorite songs - LOUD!

This list could literally go on and on, but here's what you need to know:

While local bands will always have a place in your community, you can't expect your crowd to be impressed with them because they simply don't have the entertainment power, marketability or performance skill that a Professional, Award Winning act like Rockin' Rick Live Guitar DJ can deliver.
