Concert Promo Letter:
Portland’s Pearl Produces Polished Diamond
Dear [Name of Radio Station Personality],
Imagine if KINK had stumbled upon the Kenny G, playing his unique style of sexy saxophone to Portland audiences, before the rest of the world ever heard him? Recognizing something good and acting on it, gives you distinction and credibility. It takes guts and good musical judgment. And we trust that you have both. We’ve come to rely on it.
This is why we’re so happy to introduce you to Rising Violet, an evocative fusion of beauty and spunk, blending toe-tapping latin-flared jazz with authentic classical music and a little Americana thrown in for good measure. Rising Violet comes from Portland’s own Pearl district—but don’t let the idea of a ‘home-grown’ band fool you—they have worldwide audience potential.
There’s a good chance you’ve met Rising Violet before. Perhaps you dined in the Heathman Hotel’s Tea Room while they cast their unique spell on a packed audience. You might have heard them while sipping coffee and eating dessert down in the Pearl. Maybe you caught one of the many benefit concerts they do to help bring money in for good causes—like when they donated their time and talents to help build an orphanage in the DRC, or helped raise money for the survivors of the Virginia Tech massacre.
If you’ve heard them already, then you know how good they are. If not, I’ve got a gift for you.
I know you’re gearing up for the holidays; please accept Rising Violet’s holiday music CD. Developed from their much-anticipated Christmas concerts, this CD is filled with both traditional and original holiday music as well as fresh twists on some old favorites.
If you’ve heard this group, you know their original, polished sound. And if you haven’t, now is your chance. We’d love to have you join us for one of Rising Violet’s Christmas concerts News anchor Nancy Francis called these events “a soothing antidote to the holiday hubbub”—and isn’t that exactly what KINK is to Portland?
[Insert Holiday Performance Schedule here)
Why don’t you share Rising Violet with your listeners, and you’ll be the one to claim that you introduced them to Portland – before the rest of the world ever caught wind of their sound.
You never know where it will go from there.
A mutual music lover,
John Q. Music
PS The enclosed CD is sure to bring hours of listening pleasure. You won’t want to put it away after the holidays. Share it with your listening audience. You won’t be disappointed.
