Q: Do you accept credit or debit cards?

A: We accept cash or checks only. We do not accept any other form of payment including any type of electronic/online transfers.

 

Q: Do you require a deposit?

A: Yes. The only exception is a municipal issued purchase order or public library concert booking.

 

Q: Do you require a contract?

A: Yes. All engagements require a Bruce Riccitelli Band issued contract. 

 

Q: Do you perform outdoors?

A: Yes. We perform outdoors (with certain restrictions) from June 1st to September 15th. For a performance to be designated as an outdoor one, it has to be stated on our contract. However, we require a solid, flat and level surface for the entire band to perform on. We can not perform directly on grass, stones, gravel, etc. or any uneven surface or terrain. Pavers and certain deck tiles are fine as long as they are even and level with no large gaps between them. As with all our performances, we need to have access to at least one electrical outlet. These measures insure you the best possible outdoor performance.

 

Q: What instrumentation are the trio and quartet made up of?

A: The trio is made up of keyboard, bass and drums. The quartet is keyboard, bass, drums and sax. However, additional instruments can be added when requested.

 

Q: How far in advance should a venue/event be booked?

A: Ideally, as soon as possible. The majority of our bookings are secured anywhere from one month to 12 months in advance of the venue/event.

 

Q: What's the shortest lead time the trio or quartet can be booked?

A: We can at times do a "short date" booking, which is any performance that would take place with less than fifteen (15) days notice. With "short date" bookings the contract is emailed to you for your signature. You return the signed contract along with full payment no later than the date specified on the contract in order for the date to be placed on our performance schedule. All bookings are on a first contracted (with payment), first served basis. 

 

Q: Do you work with booking agents?

A: The Bruce Riccitelli Band is a self-managed/direct booking band. Nevertheless, booking agents are always welcome to contact us.
