"Michael Burton Productions"
Let's start at the beginning. Over the past 35 plus years I have
performed or have done pre or post set-ups in almost every City and
State in these United States.
I was along for the ride of my life and enjoying every beautiful moment.
I have had the opportunity to be in some of the most beautiful places
in the Country, stopping the vehicle just to gaze at the splendor of the
land. It was the faces of the crowds of people that heard the music and
felt the bands that I will never forget. Seeing those many different
colors of faces when they were pleased, and wanting more, I still choke
up all these years later trying to describe it. You can read more of my
story here, it will open a new window:
About Michael Burton Sr.
"Soul, Style, Sass, & Funk" was a concept created many years ago. It became clear with the passing of my best friend
Mckinley "BUG" Williams
of the Soul R&B Band Maze featuring Frankie Beverly that I should
follow up on the long talks we had about this event, (I even plan to
dedicate this event in his memory). I didn't know how important my
contribution to history was until "BUG" passed. Mckinley would always
find a way to bring this up in our conversions, "No matter what your
accumulation in wealth is, your awards or legacy in life comes from what
you have contributed to the world not yourself". This was his concern
for me, it wasn't until he passed that I really sat down and evaluated
my life and what I would do next.
Some will say that this is just a copy of
"Woodstock" or
"Wattstax",
but I will disagree, it is much larger. "Soul, Style, Sass, & Funk"
is for a much older generation, a generation that had learned that any
musical act had to sing, a generation that had do-wop, and street corner
singers that we could hear on any given night singing in harmony
without any instruments that would sound so good. My generation had to
perform, simple as that may sound, it was not always that easy.
I will not try and describe the many different types of genres as this story progresses, I am going to stick to the story line.
"4 Days of Music, 50 Years of Soul" is just that, an event that will
have no boundaries, that will be created by you the consumer. A simple
form to be completed and sent to me with the Act(s) of your choice, and a
vote to secure your place in history as co-producer before the music
passes on.
"Soul, Style, Sass, & Funk" will be my legacy. A concert produced by
everyone. How is this going to work? Well, everyone interested in this
production will purchase (I cannot say donate) my ebook on "How to
Produce or Promote a Concert", then you will add your email and home
address into the form page to be sent a three disk DVD on the making of
"Soul, Style, Sass, & Funk".
But you must continue to read this story to understand what we're going to offer.
Michael Burton Productions presents "Soul, Style, Sass, & Funk, 4
Days of Music, 50 Years of Soul". Our success is only as good as we make
it. As you read on you will see that with preparations, the gross cash
potential is only limited by the work we put into it, no fancy pages,
just plain black and white:
- television/radio - NPR!
- percentage of CD sales!
- percentage of pay-per view!
- sales of t-shirts!
- caps!
- jerseys!
- percentage of all food items!
- sponsorships!
- hotels!
- airlines!
- bus services!
- video services!
- contest!
- our own 900 number!
- Pay-Per-View!
I'm looking for Investors for a "LIVE CONCERT" Production. I can't ask
everyone for a large sum of money, but I can ask for a small sum of
money from all my friends and all their friends. In this day and age
with all the technology it's much easier.
So here's how it works:
We are preparing to start video recording an HD - DVD, 3 disk production
of the making of "Soul, Style, Sass, & Funk". We know how hard the
economy is and realize lots of people are out of work, but I'm asking
you to jump on the bandwagon and help support this production.
This will be a 3 DVD box set with a planned 5 hours of music and will
include every aspect of the production, all pre production details, just
as you would see on any commercial disk!:
- Talent Cost (this will cover all groups/acts involved)!
- Production Cost (sound, lights, barricade, back line)!
- Marketing Cost (newspaper, radio, TV, music)!
- Catering Cost (band and local crew)!
- Staff Cost (security, venue staff)!
- Venue Cost (rental fee, electricity, generator, etc. ($20,000.00 by the way)!
- Runner Cost (vehicle rental cost, gas, runner's fee, ground transportation)!
- Ticketing Cost!
- Misc. Cost (petty cash, hospitality items, etc.)!
- Contest Register (chance to win an all expense paid trip to Las Vegas, see below)!
- Total Cost!
This is not just an R&B show, it's a Music Show. In essence, every
act, every label, every agent, will want to get their artist on the
show. As a side note, the $14.95 for "
Pay-Per-View"; will give us a very large bargaining tool. A night given for each genre
(i.e., artistic and musical compositions characterized by a particular style, form, or content) of music, "Jazz, Blues, Rock & Funk".
Labor Day would truly be an unforgettable event.
We have access to all types of entertainers from our large database,
which has been collected over the past 40 years of doing pre & post
productions for "live" events.
