How To Book SOUNDS OF BLACKNESS For Your Event!

The Sounds of Blackness may be available for your next special event!

Since January 1971, the GRAMMY award-winning Sounds of Blackness have consistently performed, recorded and proudly proclaimed the music, culture and history of African Americans to audiences around the world.

The Sounds of Blackness have embraced and presented every "sound of blackness": Jazz, Blues, Rock and Roll, Rhythm and Blues, Gospel, Reggae, Ragtime, Spirituals, Work songs and Field Hollers.

On three occasions, The Sounds of Blackness has performed for audiences of over one billion people: the Opening Ceremonies of the 1994 World Cup, the 1996 Summer Olympics, and the 1998 World Figure Skating Championships. The group has also performed at the White House on five separate occasions.

Led by Gary Hines, the group has combined traditional African music with urban soul to become one of the most distinctive and popular contemporary gospel groups. Over the course of their career, the group has won numerous awards, from organizations as diverse as the Grammys and the NAACP.

Hines insists that their message can permeate people's consciences regardless of the environment. Sounds Of Blackness sang "Gloryland," alongside Daryl Hall, as the official theme to the 1994 World Cup soccer tournament. They have also appeared on the soundtracks to the movies Posse and Demolition Man, and have recorded with John Mellencamp, Elton John and Stevie Wonder.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BOOK/HIRE SOUNDS OF BLACKNESS?
(i.e., what is the booking fee to hire SOUNDS OF BLACKNESS for an event?)
(i.e., what is SOUNDS OF BLACKNESS booking fee to perform at an event?)

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 the artist becomes less popular.

Exclusive agents with exclusive representation frequently quote a range instead of a specific price, since changes can occur at any time. Generally, the artist's manager has a role in the decision to accept any particular offer from a talent buyer.
