Jimmy Maxwell Thursday, September 12, 2013 at 10:33AM Always such a pleasure to play at the D-Day Museum. In this clip, Ms. Jenny Leigh sings "Summer of 69" for a corporate party, accompanied by the full JMO horn section.
JMO is available for parties of all shape and size. To talk about booking this great New Orleans band at your next affair, give us a call today!

What you need is directly referred to as a charitable gala band or a gala band. The JMO cover band is the perfect choice for your event.
The JMO or Jimmy Maxwell Orchestra understands precisely the needs of your gala and will help you make it a resounding success. JMO appreciates that a gala band at an event like this can be extremely helpful in raising money, increasing awareness, thanking patrons, etc.

The band appreciates the financial goals of the fundraiser gala and will perform as the exact gala band that is needed. Additionally you can count on your guests being delighted by music that we can fill the air with!
Whether the charity organization is holding a silent auction, a gala fundraiser, or a black tie ball, the Jimmy Maxwell Orchestra has played it all. In considering your function, realize that the entertainment can throw it over the top or be a negative force. We will through it over the top.

Jimmy Maxwell Monday, May 20, 2013 at 7:45AM The end result is not always known when we play for galas and fundraisering benifits, so it's nice to get feedback from time to time. It turns out in this instance that we were able to help "Gunning For A Cure Prostate Cancer Resarch Funraiser" to raise $104,000 to help men's prostate help. We couldn't be more pleased.
The funds will help genetic research in this area, a program started years ago to by the Perez family who experienced the effects of this insideious desease.
If we can help Tulane Cancer Center, or the LSU Alumni Medical Association at there fundrasing gala, our band (JMO) would be happy to help you do so as well. Check out our gala band page, you'll be glad you did.!

Jimmy Maxwell Saturday, May 18, 2013 at 6:29AM DO YOU NEED FLOWERS AT YOUR EVENT?
Yes. No. Maybe. It depends.
No one NEEDS flowers but as you create an environment conducive to being in harmony with your goals and desires (think feng shui), then flowers may add an excellent detail to the room or space. Maybe a few roses here or a few hydrangeas there. Maybe a room full of flowers, but whatever you choose, it will have an impact on your space and hence your guests.
Music is similar, weather it s for a corporate event or non-profit gala. It can do many things from add to the atmosphere to entertaining a small group or it may even provide for social interaction. Dancing is always a nice way to meet and interact with people. It provides for some non-verbal input; a way to evaluate social skills, or it may pull people to your event. Think about what a celebrity named entertainer could do to help you draw a crowd.
When selecting musical entertainment, the first things to consider are your vision and goal. Is it to raise funds, thank patrons, raise awareness or all three? Also consider space, number of guest, the "feel" for the event and if some level of music would enhance that event.
Then consider the budgets. There's the food budget, decor (flowers) budget, room rental budget, and printing budget. Music is one of those items.
If you'd like to discuss musical styles and their influence on events, then give us a call. Perhaps we can be of help, or point you in the right direction or maybe just offer some friendly advice and suggestions. In any event, (Ok. That's a REALLY bad pun!) give us a call. We're happy to talk about your vision and what we can do to help.
From annual galas to benefit dinners, JMO understands relationships and how to play for parties. Our goal is to allow you as the event planner to focus on your mission. We are proud of our ties to so many wonderful non-profit organizations that return year after year to allow us to entertain at their most significant fundraising events.
Jimmy Maxwell Thursday, January 3, 2013 at 3:21PM 2012 was a great year and we're happy to have been able to play music for so many wonderful people.
As 2013 begins, it's hard to believe that we're just weeks away from the Superbowl and Mardi Gras with just a week inbetween. So be it! The 12th Night Revelers well start the festivities on January 6th as they roll out the 12th night cake.
We've got corporate events, weddings and our chance to give back with a few charitable galas all in the next few months.
Stand by! It's going to be an excitying year!
