DJing at the Philadelphia Chocolate, Wine & Whiskey Festival at the Philadelphia Expo was a true highlight for both my DJ career and festival-goers. A DJ’s role at a wine festival isn’t just about playing great tracks; it’s about curating the perfect atmosphere that complements the tasting experience. At events like these, it’s all about striking the right balance between energy and ambiance. The goal is to elevate the experience without overpowering it, letting the music flow seamlessly with the wine and chocolate pairings. Here’s how I approach DJing at a wine festival: 1. Setting the Tone: The music should reflect the sophistication and relaxed vibe of a wine festival. A smooth blend of jazz, soul, and chill house keeps the mood lively but not overwhelming. Also don’t forget about the hit songs they everybody knows and sings along to. 2. Reading the Crowd: As guests enjoy their tastings, it’s important to gauge their energy. A DJ should adapt the tempo as the event progresses. Starting with more relaxed beats and building up as the evening unfolds. 3. Creating a Memorable Moment: For any festival, it’s about more than just music. I focus on delivering a complete sensory experience that people will remember long after the event ends. Event Planners: What to Look for in Entertainment When planning a wine festival, choosing the right DJ is key to creating an atmosphere that guests will love. Here’s what to consider: ? Versatility: Can the DJ read the room and adapt the music as needed? ? Event Experience: Has the DJ worked similar events where balance and ambiance are crucial? ? Professionalism: The DJ should understand the vibe of your event and enhance it with their music selection and timing. The right DJ transforms a good event into a great one.

There are consequences for making false statements. NWF runs an annual, multi-day event on Nantucket called the Nantucket Wine & Food Festival (the “Festival”). In 2012, Bean and a partner purchased the Festival, and have run it since. Since 2014 the Festival has held events at the White Elephant Hotel. In the fall of 2021, David Gordon, president and CEO of the Gordon Companies, approached Bean about possibly investing in NWF. As those discussions progressed over the next 2 years, Gordon provided logistical, financial and other support; as a result, Gordon gained access to sensitive and confidential NWF information. In 2024, Bean and Gordon broke off their discussions. NWF held the Festival in 2024. After it was over, a save-the-date for the 2025 Festival was posted on its website, and on June 2 NWF posted a message on social media about the 2025 Festival. On June 17, 2024, the Gordon Companies issued a series of four statements announcing the Gordon Companies’ plans for the 2025 Nantucket Food and Wine Experience (the “Experience”). The statements announced plans for the Experience, and in some cases identified it as a "rebranded" event, and in other cases stated that the Gordon Companies had acquired the Festival, and that events would be held at the White Elephant Hotel. Gordon was involved in crafting the statements. As a result of the statements, Gordon and Bean received congratulatory messages--Gordon for his acquisition, Bean for the sale. Bean and NWF subsequently worked to let their partners know that the Festival had not been sold, and the Festival and the Experience submitted permit applications for their respective events, schedule for the same time. Bean and NWF sued in June, asserting claims for false advertising and deceptive trade practices. In September Bean and NWF filed a motion for a preliminary injunction requiring Gordon Companies to not make further disparaging comments and to engage in corrective advertising. The court granted the motion as to the corrective advertising. In analyzing the matter, the court relied solely on the state deceptive trade practices claim. The court had little trouble finding that false statements were made about the Festival, that those statements were about Bean and NWF, and that the Gordon parties knew their statements were false. The court likewise concluded that harm to Bean and NWF as a result of the false statements was foreseeable, and that Bean and NWF could show pecuniary loss due to those statements. Additionally, the court found that while the Gordon parties had made some efforts to correct their statements, those efforts were inadequate, using obfuscatory language and being sent out "?in small print above ads for the Gordon Companies." It seems like there could be more to this story--why did the Gordon parties think that they could get away with this? #IntellectualProperty #IP #unfaircompetition #falseadvertising #wine #BusinessLaw #LegalInsights #OffitKurman

The “Fearless Gin Sour” with Valley of Mother of God gin is the creation of Massimo Zitti, owner of Mother Cocktail Bar, and is a tribute to the global phenomenon that is Taylor Swift. Her six sold-out Eras Tour concerts in Toronto have significantly boosted the city’s economy. Destination Toronto estimated an economic impact exceeding $282 million, with over $152 million in direct spending. This financial surge is attributed to several factors: ? Tourism and Hospitality: The concerts attracted approximately 240,000 attendees, many from outside Toronto. Hotel bookings for the concert dates were nearly 83% higher in downtown Toronto compared to the same period last year, with citywide demand up by 36%. ? Local Businesses: Restaurants, retail stores, and entertainment venues experienced increased patronage. Moneris, a Canadian payment services provider, reported a 57% week-over-week increase in spending across all categories during the first three days of the Toronto leg of the tour. ? Tax Revenue: The concerts generated nearly $40 million in tax revenue across all levels of government, benefiting public services and infrastructure.

We live in a world in which everything from music concerts to restaurants are over-produced. We just came back from Las Vegas seeing Adele. The show begins with a back-up piano growing to a back-up group growing to a back-up mini-orchestra. Lights, fancy staging, a sound system with much too much bass, stuff (including small hearts) falling from the ceiling, etc. In this restaurant review, the reviewer asks the question of whether these places--that are on the World's 50 best list--serve food that people would actually want to eat. Sometimes, in food, music, movies, etc., less is more. Japanese culture recognizes this in many ways. Meanwhile, the trip to Vegas brought back memories of seeing Chuck Berry and Little Richard in venues where you could see and hear them and not be distracted with sound and light shows and stuff falling from the ceiling. #Adele #concerts #LasVegas #music #restaurants #bestlists #Japan

Oktoberfest The largest folk festival in the world in Munich Oktoberfest 2024 will take place over 16 days from September 21 to October 6, 2024 on Munich's Theresienwiese. Every year, beers from six Munich breweries and numerous other Bavarian specialties are served in almost 40 festival tents at the world's largest folk festival. Around 15 euros for a pint of beer or a whopping 9.50 euros for Wiesn fries - prices at Munich's Oktoberfest have once again reached record highs in 2024. Nevertheless, the 189th edition of the folk festival on the Theresienwiese still attracts the crowds. More than six million visitors are expected again this year. The Wiesn is a billion-dollar business - and in the middle of it all, the landlords and landladies dominate the spectacle. The fact that their well-optimized business is highly profitable was revealed ten years ago in a tax evasion case: one of the large tents generated a profit of around 2 million euros in 16 Oktoberfest days. Since then, costs have risen, especially for staff and security. The tents themselves also cost money: the months-long assembly, dismantling and storage of the temporary structures alone can add up to well over 2 million euros per tent. Nevertheless, the Wiesn remains good business. Prost!

Part Restaurant / Part Nightclub – does it work? Across our venues, we are constantly raising the bar of what it means to be entertained and how to merge the elements of a restaurant and nightlife. When it’s done well, your guests will experience: - Incredible dinner and drinks under one roof - Music that lifts and dips in line with the space - A more social, vibrant experience For example, at GAIA, we programme our music to build throughout the evening, encouraging diners to step through a hidden door and extend their evening at NYX rather than taxi-hop across the city to a second destination for drinks. Building this dual experience allows our guests to make the most of our incredible venues and challenges our team’s creativity. When navigating a hybrid model: - We consider the elements of the evening a little more - We innovate through music and lighting - And we continue to raise the bar. It is a delicate balance when it comes to getting it right and making sure we don’t risk undoing all the good by adding too much to the mix. Have you visited any venues that have nailed the restaurant/nightclub hybrid?

Music is more than just noise. It’s a brand - an experience. ???? That’s why it’s so important for the music you play to complement the ambiance and enhance the dining experience for patrons. Generally, you'd want to avoid music that is overly loud, disruptive, or inappropriate for the atmosphere. You wouldn’t hear Hip Hop or Rock in a nice restaurant ?????? Be thoughtful about what you play for your customers, and with SoundMachine‘s genre and mood based stations, it’s easy to set the right vibe for your business. ???? #SoundMachine #BeatsForYourBusiness #BackgroundMusic #MusicGenres #MusicBusiness #CustomerExperience

#SolutionsforGroup Thank you to everyone who participated in our latest poll on the challenges of integrating ??Live Music into your ?? Hotel’s amenity offerings. I’ll start offering one solution per post. Allow me to address the Number One concern: ??BUDGET: After 3 decades of performing in hotels, I have observed that if success is measured solely upon the increase in Food and Beverage Sales in order to pay for the band, it is rarely justified by management. However, seen as a whole—as a guest experience amenity and a branding boost—there are few long term, cost-effective investments that can help create repeat business.? I estimate that 20% of guests acknowledge us in the positive while we perform in the lobby or in the restaurant/bar area.?Given that our weekly rate is less than a two-night stay during the peak season, doesn’t it make sense to hire musicians if it brings back ONE guest who appreciates something more than canned music? All feedback is welcome! Let’s keep finding the right solutions for your property!
