A Little clarity about JL327 Band

---

We are asked a few things a lot... 

• JL327 is a Network of musicians that have all agreed to donate all earnings to a charitable foundation. The players may change but the mission under the JL327 Band Banner does not. Players may be from other bands or individual artist that have their own thing happening outside of JL327, but when they play under the JL327 banner they all agree to stay true to the mission.
• Venues wanting to book JL327 are expected to pay an agreed reasonable fee for the Band to perform at their location. This fee is agreed to at the time of booking. They also have an additional option to pay a fee that MATCHES what is collected above the agreed price, IF they desire.  Added value to the venue is if JL327 collects funds in the bucket we will provide equal value from those funds back to the venue and they can write a check to the charity in that amount. This exchange will only be equal to the amount collected. The remainder will be donated on behalf of the JL327 Network to the charity in kind.
• Why don't you guys get paid to play? We do get paid to play... Let's be clear on this... We are NOT playing for free... What we do is GIVE the money away to those hero's in need. How it works is simple.. We love to play, all of us... But we are all blessed in our own ways. We all have Jobs and careers. Our passion is playing music for fun and to be surrounded by our friends and fans who love music and having a good time. So the deal we have with the venues we play at is they are required to invest the same amount of money that they would normally pay for a band. That money is then given away by all the members of JL327 to a charity for our hero's. Pretty simple... We are not trying to get a record deal and our dream isn't about being on Americas Got Talent...
• Is every event a FUNDRAISER? NO! NO! NO!....we are NOT a fundraiser... we are a band of guys who play music and give the money away. When you come to an event we provide a bucket, or a hat you can drop a buck in IF you want. All of that money is ALSO Given away by the band. It is not required to give a penny...but face it....If you went to a bar to see a band usually they would have a cover charge and you'd pay it to hear the music and have some fun... So WTH... if ya like the music and had fun feel free to drop a buck or 10 in, but no worries if you don't. It's all about the fun!
• What's this MATCHER stuff? Again, we are blessed... we have several companies that have said..."We like what you do with your money and want to help" They have agreed to MATCH whatever we have in the Bucket at the end of the night. So if fans drop in 500.00 total, the MATCHER will add 500.00 to the bucket!!! Now ain't that an AMAZING thing! Talk about LOVE!
• How often do you guys play? We try and play out at least once every Month and a Half. We would like to play more, but we all have obligations as well. Sign up for updates and we will let you know.
• Is Kevin Single? No...he's sexy, but not single! Sorry Ladies :-(
