Welcome to LizBerg.com!
Liz Berg Productions is up and running!
I believe that there is a lack of quality music in the Chicago music scene that stems from overzealous musicians and booking agents trying to capitalize on people’s great thirst for entertainment during this difficult economic period. There is little imagination and work ethic on the part of bands these days which is evidenced by the fact that one can walk into any main bar and guess 2/3 of the setlist of any cover band–without having any prior knowledge of the band. Another major problem is that the majority of people booking acts for your important events or your favorite club have little or no knowledge whatsoever of the musicians they are putting forth. Most booking agents that I’ve come across are all numbers–profits, and costs instead of doing the research that needs to be done to satisfy a client.
I declare that I am different in many ways. I am a music historian who enjoys researching different genres and crafting playlists to showcase personality at events. I have toured and performed with hundreds of musicians who have vast musical experience and education. This has allowed me to create a network of musicians who are solid in playing and reliability. I understand the boredom that has become the unfortunate standard for many musicians and patrons alike and strive to bring back excitement to entertainment.
I propose that you come to me with your entertainment needs. The twist is that you provide me with your budget and I will happily craft a few different packages to best suit you.
