Country Dancing & Karaoke
Here's my situation. We recently got a gig at a country/western lounge that has a live country dance band every night from 10pm to 2am. To try and increase business the lounge is having karaoke from 6pm to 10pm on Monday evening. We are finding that we attract a decent karaoke crowd but 99% of them leave when the karaoke is finished. They are not staying for the live band and the dancing. The manager of the lounge is expressing some concern. My questions to the forum are:
1. Is the manager expecting too much from a karaoke show? Is it realistic to expect a karaoke show to draw in and keep a late Monday night dance crowd?
2. Are any KJ's in the same situation and if so do you have any success?
I want to help out the lounge, that's why I'm there. But I have a feeling that I may be trying to mix oil and water and I should tell the manager to stick with country/western dance and forget karaoke. HELP!
