doing this with just an arranger keyboard ain't gonna cut in today's world,....
Good points Donny but I'm not sure why you say that an arranger keyboard won't cut it. I know a OMB arranger keyboard guy is exactly the standard at most events that use live music but I don't see why a good looking guy or girl with killer keyboard chops, an exceptional singing voice, and a great stage presence couldn't do well. If you are great at what you do, I don't think it matters if you got a full band, sing to backing tracks or whatever. Use the method that works best for you
Paul I don't know how it is where your from but around here in the NY/NJ area you are not JUST gonna play an arranger KB anymore at Big Weddings, Dances, Venues with 200-500pp without mixing it up with some DJ'ing period..I am talking on a nightly full-time basis,....not some NH gig environment, or restaurant background music small gigs etc, ...I'm talking being a Power Single act...full bore singing, playing, tracks, styles, MP3's etc,...etc,...no arranger player is gonna contend with the stuff people hear on the radio no way, no how, for big power dance gigs....Arrangers KB's have their place but not in today's dance music.......but night after night at big gigs you have no chance alone against the competition of a pro Dj in clubs styles get very boring and repetitious...and such....if there is anyone as you mentioned please send me a link to a video of them I for one would love to experience the wizardry....Thanx
