The Slackers Booking Agency Profile

Book The Slackers for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
The Slackers are one of the premiere live acts worldwide. They are an 8-member-strong group of talented musicians and songwriters whose jiving tunes are deeply rooted in jazz, the blues, calypso, Jamaican reggae, and ska. Rising to the forefront of the thriving New York City ska scene, this group was originally conceived in a roach-ridden rehearsal space. They emerged as a fledgling five-some incorporating a punk-driven 2-Tone style with traditional Jamaican riffs. It wasn't until years later that they added their searing horn section, becoming the celebrated Slackers as we know them today. The release of their debut album, Better Late Than Never, on Moon Records, had a tremendous impact on the ska scene and set a precedent for all later releases. ""Sarah"", an unforgettable love song, ventured into the swinging sounds of 1940's Harlem; the immortalized ""Sarah"" becoming the envy of every girl who heard the tune. The band has released numerous albums including Redlight, The Question, Close My Eyes, Peculiar, Self Medication, The Radio, and a self-titled album, among others..

CTI can give you the accurate The Slackers booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book The Slackers for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final The Slackers booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will The Slackers charge for an event. An example fee to book The Slackers is in the starting range of $15,000-$24,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the The Slackers agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The The Slackers manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book The Slackers for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the The Slackers agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book The Slackers, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the The Slackers booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for The Slackers, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
