How To Book HEATWAVE For Your Event!
Heatwave
may be available for your next special event!
Heatwave
was formed by the Wilder brothers, Johnnie and Keith, on their
discharge from the U.S. Army while in Germany. An advertisement in a
music paper yielded Hull and England-born songwriter Rod Temperton.
Further members recruited were two more
Americans, Eric Johns and Jessie Whitten, a Czech, Ernest Berger, and
a Spaniard, Mario Mantese.

Heatwave was designed to be a slamming
R&B outfit with strong song sensibilities and equally strong
grooves to keep them dancing in the discos. It succeeded
spectacularly.
Between 1977 and 1981 the
group enjoyed a series of hit singles in both the UK and USA,
including "Boogie Nights," "Always And Forever"
and "Mind Blowing Decisions." Despite maintaining some
links, Temperton officially left the band in 1977 to forge an
impressive songwriting career. Heatwave's own progress was
marred by a series of tragedies. Whitten was stabbed to death, Mantese
left the group following a severe car crash, while Johnnie Wilder was
paralyzed from the neck down as a result of another road accident.
Johnnie Wilder courageously remained at the group's helm, producing
their work and singing in the studio, while another vocalist, J.D.
Nicholas, took his place onstage.
The journey of Heatwave is one of a group
that surged to international prominence, which threatened to be
eclipsed by tragedy, yet continues to shine intensely in the hearts of
those who were ignited on the dance floor by the infectious grooves,
electrified at live concerts by the fiery showmanship, and warmed by
the smooth ballads that have made them internationally famous.
Heatwave has continued on. The group
still tours, keeping the groove line going around the world.
Hit songs include --
- Always and Forever
- Boogie Nights
- The Groove Line
- Gangsters of the Groove
- Eyeballin'
- Mind Blowing Decisions
- Lettin' It Loose
- Where Did I Go Wrong

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BOOK/HIRE HEATWAVE?
(i.e., what is the booking fee to hire HEATWAVE for an event?)
(i.e., what is HEATWAVE booking fee to perform at an event?)
Official booking fees for HEATWAVE, or any other celebrity, are
determined based on a number of factors and may change at anytime without prior
notice.
Factors influencing pricing vary and may include date, location, type of
event, whether a private party or a public concert, the artist's calendar,
whether the artist is on tour or not, how well tickets are selling at the
artist's concerts, the current demand for the artist's music, market activity, etc.
As you might expect, the more in-demand the artist is, the more buyers are
prepared to pay. Of course, this causes the artist's price to increase as
the artist becomes more popular or decrease when becoming less popular.
Exclusive agents with exclusive representation frequently quote a
range instead of a specific price, since changes can occur at anytime.
Generally, the
artist's manager has a role in the decision to accept any
particular offer from a talent buyer.
To learn the most current artist's pricing, or the estimated
artist's fee for your particular event, simply click on the "Let's Get Started!" link found on this page. Then, send us your request for booking
information.
