FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: Performance fees and sound engineering have been quoted at $11,034.25 for the proposed concert, and pending approval, will be expensed from the City Arts Commission 2021/22 programming budget. DISCUSSION: At the April 14 regular meeting, the City Arts Commission approved an additional concert for the 2022 summer concert series, “Concerts on the Green”. The ad hoc subcommittee, appointed by Chair Greer at the meeting, recommends Mark Wood and the Parrot Head Band for the concert. According to their website, “Mark Wood and the Parrot Head Band have performed around the world for our US Military, concerts, corporate events and private parties, all shows are true to the partying Jimmy Buffett Style. This band is the next best thing to Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band concert. Mark Wood and the Parrot Head Band are now performing songs from more than forty years of Jimmy’s music from all of your favorite tours. They have also performed as the opening act for Jimmy Buffett concert in Irvine, CA at Verizon Amphitheater and Mark has performed with Mac MacAnally in Southern California at The Coach House.” Mark Wood and the Parrot Head Band enjoys a sizable and enthusiastic following. For the proposed concert, the band will present an 8-piece line-up, resulting in a higher overall cost for the concert. Due to the postponement of the Newport Beach Art Exhibition, there are ample funds to stage this concert as well as provide children’s activities at this concert and the June concert. Staff has tentatively negotiated a fee with the performer and has reserved the Civic Green for the concert. The performer provides their own sound engineering, and this cost is included in their overall fee. NOTICING: The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at which the City Arts Commission considers the item).
