TALENT BOOKING AGENTS
If it is your business to book talent we hope you will consider the Van & Cristina performing act for engagements or clients looking for the very best in dueling pianos entertainment. We are available either with or without a drummer and are fully self-contained and can travel worldwide. Please see elsewhere in this site our qualifications and a great deal of other information. Please call us for our pricing and current availability.
We are preparing a new promotional package that will include publicity photos, a newly edited live video and a CD-R. In the meantime, please feel free to extract text and photos from this site for your use in promoting our act or securing a booking.
We will sign contracts drawn by your agency or by the buyer itself and are pleased to pay commissions to you at your prevailing rates (typically 20% for casuals and 10-15% for steady engagements), as long as they are within the limits set by your license, and the net to us meets our pricing requirements.
In instances where Dueling Pianos 2GO performers are unavailable or if our
prices are out of the budget for a particular booking, Van Walraven, through his
talent agency, Counterpoint Entertainment, Inc., has
access to many other dueling pianos entertainers in all parts of the country.
Van is also licensed and bonded by the Nevada State Labor Commission as a talent
agent, in conjunction with Counterpoint Entertainment, Inc. Van co-founded
Counterpoint Entertainment and its parent company, Counterpoint Consulting,
Inc., along with partner, Gary Raffanelli, expressly to provide talent and
specialized consulting services to the dueling pianos idiom. Counterpoint
Entertainment and Counterpoint Consulting have been licensed and in operation
since 1996 and have offices in Reno and Las Vegas, Nevada. In its
seven-year history, Counterpoint has provided services for more than 25
entertainment venues, including its present major clients: Disney Cruise Line,
Silver Legacy Resort Casino and Catch A Rising Star Comedy Clubs.
Split commissions are offered where another company acts as the primary
account/contract holder and Counterpoint acts as the talent provider.
