AGENDA CAPTION:

Consider Action on a Resolution Approving an Entertainment Agreement Between the Town of Addison and Loud Is Allowed, Inc. for the Personal Services of Musicians and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Contract in an Amount Not to Exceed $145,000.

BACKGROUND:

The Town is using the professional services of Degy Booking International, Inc. to negotiate and secure performing talent for Town of Addison events. The company's reputation for securing and routing talent is highly regarded in the industry. This is the Town's fourth year using the agency's services, and the Town has been pleased with its ability to secure talent within the parameters of our music genres, the artists' routing availability, and remains within budget. As the talent producer, a representative of Degy Booking International, Inc. will be onsite for all performances booked through the agency. The fee for the company's services is 10% of the band's proceeds, with no commission from the gate or merchandise sales.

Music artist Stone Temple Pilots will perform on Saturday evening at Taste Addison 2022 for 75-90 minutes as the headlining act. Stone Temple Pilots was one of the most commercially successful bands of the 1990s, selling more than 40 million albums worldwide and winning multiple awards including a Grammy. The cost for this talent is not to exceed $145,000. Funding for this entertainment agreement will come from the Hotel Fund.

The resolution approves the agreement between the Town of Addison and Loud Is Allowed, Inc. for the services of (f/s/o) Stone Temple Pilots for Taste Addison 2022.

RECOMMENDATION:

Administration recommends approval.
