Painted Axe Works for Musicians, Bands, Festivals at FestForums '18

    ST. AUGUSTINE, FL, November 05, 2018 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Painted Axe and its exhibit at the 2018 FestForums in Santa Barbara, CA., Nov. 14-16, will be encouraging bands and musicians to be more creative in their marketing and promotional efforts to attract and retain fans.

While FestForum's main audience is festival administrators, Painted Axe hopes to ensnare the attention of music festivals as well as bands and artists that are connected to these venues and any others.

"$40 t-shirts, $10 plastic license plates and $20 glass apothecary jars are diverse revenue sources, but how much staying power and connectivity do they have?" asked Michael Gauf, Painted Axe owner and artist. "It's our observation fans seek a memorable, treasured keepsake from their experience or relationship with music. For bands and musicians, one sure way to cement that bond is with a branded, autographed custom painted guitar."

Gauf continued, "FestForums focuses on festivals and festival administration, but we are confident there'll be plenty of musicians, players and gift givers in attendance who'll recognize our product's value. Obviously, Dennis Quaid and the Sharks, Dishwalla, Michael McDonald and Chris Pelonis, who are performing at FestForums, are prime candidates, but bands and musicians will be in attendance and we have opportunities for them."

"Clients have commissioned guitars for CD release parties, concert tours and charity auctions/raffles. Still, the anticipation and excitement by fans at going home with a branded, autographed custom painted guitar remains an overwhelming attraction," said Gauf.

Painted Axe, booth y17, will showcase at least three custom painted guitars, including one that will be given away Friday, Nov. 16. In addition, Jeff Joad, a veteran California blues man, will be performing at the booth on Thursday and Friday. He will feature songs from his recent CD, Any Day Above Ground.

"With about a week to go, we are looking forward to presenting the financial, longevity, aesthetic and collectible rewards of a Painted Axe branded, custom painted guitar," said Gauf. An appointment can be made in advance by calling 904-679-5445. When at the show, please visit booth y17 for more information.
