Email Form Letter (with embedded social media links)

Dear _____________,

My group is called "Raising The Dead," and we are a 5-piece tribute to the Grateful Dead, specializing in virtuosic instrumental performances, compelling group improvisation, and tight vocal harmonies. The Dead's music ranges from psychedelic rock to country western to blues to disco, and our band plays a fun, always danceable mix of it all. Wherever we perform, we are reminded that Deadheads are everywhere, and new ones are made each time we gig.

Here's a quick link to a YouTube video of us performing last summer at Wyandotte's Art Fair. You can see more of our work showcased at raisingthedeadband.com and our Facebook page. We are also on Twitter and Instagram.

If there are entertainment needs we can fulfill for ___________________, we'd be excited to provide them. Feel free to contact me any time.

Gratefully,
