Of course, make sure we understand the music they are requesting...It may not be as represented , ask more questions..many times we are more in tune with their needs than first thought ...

And agents/managers don't help..they often misplace acts...


I had done some work for an agent in the 90's and he sent me on a job that he said required some background music before and during dinner. He told me I didn't need my OMB setup, just a piano.

After I got to the job, the guy in charge said he wanted me to play classic rock for the dinner hour, and then really rock out after that. Enough said. I don't do gigs for that agent anymore since he sold me down the river.

Bottom line, be careful!
