Rus Anderson Presents The Rocketman: A Tribute to Elton John |
| Good day Loren:
Sorry for delay in sending
this note, but I would like to thank you and Cord for the great act we
had in our Music Hall recently. The Rocketman Show: Elton John
Experience was great. The band was tight and Rus was right on.
The comments were excellent, people told me they actually felt as though
they were at an Elton concert. Costumes and props were great.
I would recommend this show to anyone. This would be the only Elton show
for me. On top of Rus and his band doing a great job they were so
easy to work with. My techs were ecstatic. Celebrity Direct
delivers only the best. Thank you again, I remain, Sincerely, Denice
Blajian - Event Director |

Wilson Williams and the rest

many memories for all.
I look forward to discussing

Glenn Leonard's Temptation
Revue was a pleasant surprise! They were all excellent singers and performers.
Their show represented the essence of the Temptations. They handled themselves
as pros on and off stage. I would not hesitate using or recommending them
to anyone in the future.
Working the deal out with
Cord Coslor from Celebrity Direct was also a no-nonsense experience. He
delivered the act such as he described it. I left the engagement along
with my client very satisfied. Thank you! |

Aaron Williams :: Newspaper staff member re: Glenn Leonard's Temptations
Revue 2010 |

I thought the show was a
lot of fun. I was there on business – taking photos for the newspaper,
but I’ve been a Temptations fan for a long time, and I really enjoyed listening
to the group. The voices, the dress, the steps – it really was a experience!
Though most of what I saw was through the eye of a camera lens, the group
definitely put a smile on my face and I was singing and humming along to
each song. It was also nice to get to meet the guys after the show. They
were really nice, and made me wish I had more time to talk to them – but
I couldn’t because I was running short on time. But I really enjoyed them. |

show with Glenn Leonard's Temptations Revue, Wilson Williams & His
Platters, Pam Darden's Marvelletes Revue, and Ron McPhatters Tribute to
The Drifters |

Dear Celebrity Direct,
On March 18th, 2010, the
Animal Welfare League had their first concert which featured: Wilson Williams
& His Platters, Glenn Leonard's Temptations Experience, Pam Darden's
Marvelettes Revue and The Legacy of "Clyde McPhatter & The Drifters"
as performed by his son Ron David McPhatter, the performers were outstanding!
We would like to thank Cord
Coslor and Wilson Williams for the direction they provided us and assisting
us with the questions and concersn that arose. Mr. Coslor worked very hard
side by side with the Animal Welfare League to make sure everything ran
smoothly and productively, and it did! We look forward to continue working
with Mr. Coslor for our annual concert to benefit the homeless animals
of Charlotte County, Florida.
We at the Animal Welfare
League would like to extend our gratitude for guiding us in one of the
most successful fundraisers in Charlotte County, Florida ever.
Sincerely,
Aggie Aguila

Reinhard Haubner on behalf of Four Points Sheraton Chateau Elan - Sebring,
FL re: country music legend David Frizzell |
|
Dear Mr. Coslor,
David Frizzell made our day
with his performance at the Four Points by Sheraton Sebring, Chateau Elan.
Both his first and second act was outstanding, he is a true showman getting
his audience involved with the show.
During break, our guests
truly appreciated the way he stood and gave autographs and posed fro pictures.
He was down to earth and seemed more than happy to be there with each and
every one. We have received several compliments regarding the quality of
Mr. Frizzell's show and his remarkable performance. Many want to know when
he will be back at the Chateau Elan.
As always, it is a pleasure
to work with Celebrity Direct Entertainment.
Sincerely,
Reinhard Haubner
GM, Four Points by Sheraton

Deb Picard on behalf of DB Sound Systems - Port Charlotte, FL re: Cord
Coslor and Celebrity Direct Entertainment |
|
Dear Cord Coslor,
DB Sound Systems would like
to extend its appreciation for all your work on our shows at The Charlotte
County Expo Hall of The Bellamy Brothers and David Allan Coe.
The information and work
that you provided for advertising with both the radio stations along with
the newspaper ads along with setting up radio interviews with the acts
was very impressive.
DB Sound Systems has the
experience to know all of what is needed to be done on production.
The other details that you handled of coordinating the feeding of the acts,
payment with management, meeting the acts on the edge of town and getting
them to the facility were all very much appreciated and were less details
for our company to handle. We work with many agents and we have never
experienced an agent to go so far above their job description to insure
every detail was covered and handled.
Cord, to sum it up, it was
best said when Don Brown from our company mentioned you were doing everything
shy of parking the cars.
Sincerely,
Debra Picard

Dear Wilson / Celebrity
Direct Entertainment:
I know it has
been several months since you, Sase', Lonza, Melvin and the crew visited
us at the Stafford Township Arts Center's OceanFirst Theater, but I could
not allow another minute to go by without reaching out to you. Having you
perform in our soon to be annual Rockin' Oldies Valentine program truly
made the holiday this year spark for hundreds of audience members who chose
to celebrate the night of love with us. You are a credit to the legacy
of The Platters with your skillful vocals and natural ability to generate
sincere public appreciation.
I never thought
that a program could make a conventional theater audience jump to their
feet to dance in the aisles. Your February 14th was honestly one of the
best programs we have presented to date. I continue to receive letters
and e-mails from patrons asking when we plan to have you return. Of course,
I have to admit, I look forward to a return engagement myself.
Each of you
was a joy on and off the stage. Having met each of you, I have a better
understanding of what Louis Armstrong meant when he said, "I never tried
to prove nothing, just wanted to give a good show. My life has always been
my music, it's always come first, but the music ain't worth nothing if
you can't lay it on the public. The main thing is to live for that audience,
'cause what you're there for is to please the people." All I can say is
that if our audience members were not fans before, by the end of the evening
everyone was a convert. And, as you'll remember, most attendees left with
autograph and CD in hand.
Thank you again.
Please always let me know when you'll be in our area.
Sincerely,
Thaomas L. Stephens, Exec. Director |

Amy Raspa - limo driver - Pam Darden's Marvelettes Revue |
Dear Miss Darden,
I was your Limo driver to
the Philadelphia Airport from Manahawkin NJ this past Sunday morning. Thank
You for being one of the nicest celebrities I have ever met! As a cook
in Atlantic City for the past 30 odd years, I have met some famous people.
Some have been just a passing "Hello", others have been in extended conversations.
Isn't nice to know you rate among the tops of all these people? I hope
I drive you again if and when you come back to the South Jersey area. It
was a pleasure. Amy Raspa - Little Egg Harbor, NJ

City All-Stars |
Cord ~
The event was
spectacular! The weather was perfect, the food was outstanding, the
nine open bars (including the five specialty bars) were awesome...and the
Surf City All Stars rocked the house!
We had over
1,500 patrons, two magazines, two newspapers, three TV stations and two
radio stations attend. The trees on the grounds were covered in white
lights (loaned by the City of Greenville), we had hundreds of stars hanging
from trees, décor bounding beach balls everywhere, tiki Gods with
flaming torches, bubble machines, etc.,etc, etc.
You can speak
with the band, but I am sure they had a total blast. After they performed,
they freshened-up, changed clothes, (they were free to hang out in the
rec room downstairs which is where they chilled before they performed)
but instead, they went out, walked around the grounds to visit all of the
fifteen restaurants' tents, talk to people, etc. and had the best time.
Sunday the
band called from the airport just before they flew out and David told me
the band wanted me to know that they all agreed it was "the smoothest run,
most visually exciting, most hospitable event they had ever played in their
careers." WOW...they didn't have to call us back at all...what a
wonderful thing to say and do. They said they'd play it again next
year if we wanted them. :)
We had Williamson-Evens
here filming the event and we will send you a copy for your files. It was
OUTSTANDING! We are SO pleased...and now...the only thing I need
is one week at a spa to recoup from the 10 months of planning. :)
Thanks so much
for all your help...I could not have done it without your partnership.
We'll be talking soon about Beach Ball 2006...any ideas?
Tammy
PS: Hope to see YOU at Beach Ball 2006. :)
Thanks, Cord, for the gig
and all you did to make it happen. It turned out great and I think everyone
was happy. Tammy was cool and seemed to like our show. We went to the wrong
terminal for the flight (private jet), but after that, it was smooth. Let
me know if there are any other events we can do together.
Thanks again- David Logeman

As the new General Manager
of Harborside Event Center, I have been working with Celebrity Direct Entertainment
to assemble an "Oldies Series" that not only brings amazing talent downtown
to Fort Myers but also offers it an an affordable price without compromise
to quality. When presented with the opportunity to bring "live" events
downtown, I began to ask many of my colleagues and community leaders what
their opinions were on the subject. Unanimously, everyone has shown both
interest and excitement knowing that this is yet another positive step
in the Downtown Redevelopment Plan. Many businesses have expressed interest
in cross-promotion as well as sponsorship. Having promoted several hundred
concerts in Miami and Houston, I believe this enthusiasm indicates that
the residents and businesses of Fort Myers not only are interested in "live
events" but also in the rejuvenation of Harborside Event Center and the
downtown area.
[
]
As you can imagine in the
concert business, TALENT + AFFORDABILITY + UNCOMPROMISED QUALITY = "SUCCESS".
I believe Celebrity Direct Entertainment has assembled all the components
necessary to promote an amazing series for our community. On behalf of
the City of Fort Myers, I thank you for your support of the Harborside
Event Center and hope you will join me on Friday, January 17th at 7:30pm
in supporting the inaugural event of the DOWNTOWN CONCERT SERIES, the "Elvis
Presley Birthday Bash."
All the best wishes for success
in 2003!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

AL HOLLAND **
Al was just wonderful!! Thank you,
thank you, thank you!!
Although the weather wasn't ideal,
I can't imagine another performer being as flexible or high spirited.
Among the audience was my father, a bit of a musician himself with a critical
ear, and Billy Sherrill, famous country music producer & writer of
most recently named #1 song of all time, "Stand By Your Man". He is most
noted as being the agent for Tammy Wynette & George
Jones. I didn't tell Al this
before hand, of course & he doesn't like to be recognized but the reason
I share this with you is that he truly was impressed with Al. I wanted
you to know (please pass this on to him as well) that everyone, including
the "experts" were very complimentary. If you could, please send
me a business card, as I would like to have your contact info. as well
as Al's name for future. We will definitely keep you in mind for
upcoming needs.
Thank you for fast-tracking this
along & for your great recommendation. I hope to keep in touch,

Well, Lindsey and Jared's "Fairy
Tale" wedding was a success and, along with the special couple, Al was
the hit of the evening. EVERYONE was surprised and THRILLED.
He was PERFECT. Don't tell Gene but, I think I have fallen in love
with Al - ha ha. He is FABULOUS and everyone thoroughly enjoyed listening
and dancing to his music. We would like to extend a thanks to Al
but, do not have his address. I know when Lindsey and Jared return
from their honeymoon, they too would like to send a note. Would you
have his mailing address? And, we'd love to have a schedule of his
upcoming performances so we can listen to his sweet/smooth tunes!!!!!!!
Again, thanks for all your help and
cooperation in making L & J's wedding an extra special one. We
will certainly be in contact with you again about Al performing at other
functions we will be associated with. He is a "special friend" we'd
love to keep in contact with!
Sincerely, Gene & Sherry Zvolensky
and the "New" Lindsey and Jared Farchione |
