Hi, I am working for a Company and we are located in Buffalo, NY. The date is supposed to be June, 15. I need some more information in terms how much you would charge and how your sets look like. Than I will bring your band up in our next meeting concerning the tightrope walk. Thanks
Lukas E

Mark, Just needed to say Thank You for the great job you and the band a week ago last Saturday, We had over 700 (legit number) people rock to Hit N Run’s talented performance. I am sorry for not getting to see you Saturday after the show to thank you in person, also if you have any pictures I’ll compensate you, because most of ours did not turn out. I hope you enjoyed the evening also, any thoughts on improvement that you or your followers have please let me know! Thanks Again Will definitely book you again next year.
John B (St Marys MS fundraiser)

Can you let me know if you do graduation parties and if you are available on Sat July 14th.
Becky

Hi Mark, I need to submit a voucher for Hit -n Run to get paid for our Festival. I need to know how much I owe you for the job. Thanks,
Jackie

I want to obtain booking information for our concert series in the summer.
Janet

I am checking on the Yellow Jaguar and other possibilities for the summer. Let me know what dates Hit n Run has open and which you can do.
Dave B

The sponsor stuff (Red Bull, Regal Tip, Guitar Center, Arizona Tea) is very cool!
Bill A

I want to get information on pricing and availability for Hit and Run. We have a large outdoor function this summer and you are our first choice. I am hoping that you have our date open. Please email me or call me when you get a chance.
Steven

Mark, As always, thank you so much for helping us the way you do and the Band is always great! I'm sorry I am not much of an MC but I do have a case of stage fright when it comes to things like this. I will quickly look at dates and let you know. Please just know that we would like to do it again next year. You can count on it. Thank you,
John R (Lancaster Ponytails)

That (the ELI pics and writeup on Dan Ruggieros homepage) is awesome how can we connect that with our facebook page ?http://wnyhitman.wordpress.com/e-l-i/
Tom G

What a night! I hope you have as much fund as we do, when we are out seeing Hit and Run.
Robyn

I have attached a confirmation for our dates for 2012.
Al

We are so excited to have a band like Hit and Runs caliber at our school. I am sure the kids will love it for their field days. This will be the best year-end party Como has ever had.
Dawn G

Very cool. We have some great pics. One more thing... if we do the Evening Star on May 20, could we start a little later? I forgot that I'm playing a benefit in N.T. around 4 or 5 that day. I should be done by 6:00 at the latest and I will be nearby. We can discuss at practice Monday.
Rick

Me and the better half will be coming to the Yellow Jag, tonight. I will give you the 16x20 file on a CD tonight. Keep pumping the STYX tunes! Great stuff!
Dan

They Hit and Run. Please tell Joe that he is just amazing on the drums. I can see why Regal Tip has him on his website. I am working on my new band and should be gigging during the summer.
John

I am just making sure that you are playing at Mickey Rats this June 30th. I am booking a limo for mine and my husbands birthday and we want to do it when you are at Rats.
Kathy

Hi Mark, Thanks for the email and the Rush dedication. We had a great time and it was great to put a name and face together after all of these years. I am sure we will see you soon.
Jennifer (Buffalo Magazine promotion)

Thanks Hit and Run for such a great time on Saturday. My friends and I had a fantastic night.

Judy

It was great to see you on the weekend. The band is nothing short of amazing.

Yes, we are all set for the 3rd from 7 - 11pm. I don't know of any publicity that went out yet for the 4th. I would be the only one sending it out. Do you know where they saw it?
Jack

Pat did a great job on Hollywood Nights. It sounded like the record. I loved the several new songs.
Phil (Stickman)

Hey, great to see you guys the other night at Macaroons. Amy and I wanted to call the whole band up.
Doug

You can tell Guy looks more and more comfortable being himself. What a blast he is to watch.
Terry

Not a problem. I had fun last night (at Medaille College). Thanks for everything!! Might not be able to catch Friday's show because I got my bowling banquet Friday. Don't know it's going to end and HNR is ending sooo early!! LOL.

Just wanted to say thanks to you and Nancy and Mike for opening your home, to help so much, in putting all this together. And with your adding so much strength to our vocals, thank you again !

Lynn

Loved the new songs. I cant believe you added so many in a short time.
Brain

Hi Stranger. How is Buffalo?
DA

Hi - Well for sure this (Three Dog Night tribute band ELI) should make good copy for our fb and website (social media). I will talk to our Marketing and Press Release guru when she returns to town this week - see what she puts together and may make it newsworthy enough to warrant some news articles and tv or radio spots (free promo). I would appreciate you re-sending your press release. When we put our package together I can have our Alumni Relations peeps send it to Cory Wells. He is in the area frequently and may be available for some things - like maybe an interview for the media that we can include in the press release - or he may be able to attend (hey, ya never know).
Rick Matthews (Buffalo Music Hall of Fame)

Hey, how are you? miss you guys! I am going to get out to see you guys soon. Im going crazy, sitting around. Cant wait for the Lawn Fetes. Im on cruthches for 12 wks, so I have to be careful where I go. you guys usually have a packed house, so Im afraid to get hurt,but I will chance it one of these wks!
Amy P

That project sound very cool. I will have to check you out
Jerry

my friend loved you guys...it was her first time. We will be back on a regular basis now.
Maryann

Liz M

I am serious. We are.playing the night after so we will definetely be there to see ELI (the three dog night band on opening night 6/2 and 6/20). I love you man!

"Mark, can you get me tickets?" For the first ELI show.
Ken Kolniak (Wide Right)

Thanks for doing our show for the fundraiser. Can we meet to discuss the details this week.
Sal

As special as this ELI sounds…it sounds like you should have a great light show to go with their great names and great performances. Just sayin’
Big Jack

Mark, I got your message. I think it was a great thing for the band and very valuable promotion. You 3 dogs sounded very professional and showed lots of charisma (on the Radio interview). I am running off to practice now so I'll call you tomorrow. We should talk about Rick Mathews (and the Hall of Fame promotion) too.
Rick Ryan

I have a request for Saturday night. a friend of mine, her name is Kristen would like to hear Brown-Eyed Girl on Saturday night. Thanks in advance. I'll be there too.
Lisa

Mark, I just wanted to let you know most of the audience (at Medaille) will be college students, do you play today's covers too? I think throwing in some oldies would be great for the faculty and staff. But I think today's music will go over really great! Can't wait to see you all Wednesday.
Tara R

I am back!!!! I am tired of other bands being childish and trying to tell me who I can see and who I cant see. Please don’t put my name down, I don’t want to deal with their drama and eventually be deleted from their facebook like others I know were subjected to, but rest assured you will see me a lot more now. I am livid at one of their members and sooo done.
XXXXXX

Cant wait to see you this weekend. I like the earlier start on Friday.
Carol

Mark, Do I call you Corey now? (As in Corey Wells vocalist of 3 Dog Night from Buffalo)
Rick L

Hit n Run should do a John cafferty song. Dark Side or Wild Summer Nights or Tender Years.
James

Sounds like a great new project. I would love to do sound sometime if given the opportunity.
Mike T

Sounds wonderful. With the half hour set up, you can play 9-10:30. Completely up to you. I will give the other band a heads up. If you or any of the other band members have children you are more than welcome to bring them to the carnival! It starts at 4pm.

Hello, I am in the process of having my advisor sign the check to mail to you. We have an opening band, they have all of their drum sets etc, but were wondering if they could use your sound and lights? Let me know. Thank you,
Tara R (Medaille College)

Cant tell you enough how great the band is. Guy is truly an amazing entertainer, your guy on guitar smokes, The drummer is the best I have ever seen and the Keyboardist is amazing. You guys have tremendous male and female vocals. Loved the new material
Bill A

Mark, we have places an ad in the Bee and they put a picture of the band, just want to make sure you are good with it. JB

Michelle

I owe you one for sure I think my best payback would be getting you guys coverage. The only way I can do that is the next time you open up for national act that we would cover I would be sure to give you guys a write up. Or I can get you a nice bottle of alcohol as well. Lol keep me informed!
Gus

Loved the Bruce song!
Steve

No we haven’t booked anyone for the date. We would prefer Hit and Run and it would be June 30th

I don’t think anyone in their right mind would pass up an opportunity to work with Hit n Run.
Chris

Hey mark it was nice chatting with you on the plane Thursday. I currently have two different Samson mics. Looking to upgrade. I don't want to spend a lot but want something that sounds good and only using for interviews. Any ideas? let me know and ANY help would greatly be appreciated!
David Griesinger CEO/Artist Relations www.backstageaxxess.com "Where The Real Show Begins!"

E.L.I. was awesome on the radio. How do I get tickets for the Forum show and additional information on the Three Dog Night tribute band?
Paul

Thanks, for the announcement. I had to ask what did he say. My boys thought we were already married. Maybe in the next couple of weeks we'll be able to get some nice spring weather and if we can get the prince up before 9 am we can get out and start whacking em. I mean the balls, not Ken.
Rick

Rosanna was amazing. I could not believe you did it. It was played extremely well.
Dave C

Mark, call me. Hope all is well and as always best wishes to you and your crew
Carrie

You surprised the heck out of me with those new songs. Great job.
Tim

Mark, keep me in mind if you ever need someone.
Lori

Hello! I'm just doing a follow up to my previous email. The opening band plays from 8-8:30. The stage cannot fit two set ups. I was wondering how long it would take to switch sets? If you're worried about time maybe you could play until 10:30 doing 9-10:30 so you have your whole time with a 30 minute set switch. Let me know your thoughts! Can't wait to meet everyone.
Tara R

Hi Mark, your band played for are Friendship Festival last year and hope we can set up another date this year. The festival will run Friday June 29th-July 4th as of today we have not yet booked one band and you have first pick of any day if interested playing at are festival. I was downtown for the St Pats parade and watched you guys at bayou the whole time. Someone (Guy) even put my girlfriends Tutu on.

Handsome, talented and a published author to boot!
Ken

Hi Hit and Run. I will miss seeing you this weekend, since your band is taking off. I make at least one show every weekend. It is my entertainment and release from the stress of the work-week. This week will feel empty. I guess that I will just spend some relaxing time with my family and maybe take a vacation for the Easter weekend. See you next week at Macaroons or Rhino’s
Elaine

I want to confirm the dates for the Yellow Jaguar and Cheers.
Dave Buffamonte

Thanks again for hooking me up with this gig. We got over 300 shots yesterday! This Slacker has some bit of work to do to meet the dead line. Please pass this along to all so they are in the loop. Furthermore Your / Bands generosity for these services (is greatly appreciated). Will now also include a follow up shoot of the band performing live. Please let me know when some gigs are booked so I can come out to full fill the rest of the deal. Thank you Mark and all. It was definitely MY Ex stream pleasure meeting all of you and being allowed to hang with some of the best Buffalo Music has ever offered to the world.

Phil

Very impressive young Skywalker.

Hey Mark - I am interested in this new ELI venture - first I heard about it today. But apparently you Buffalo Music Hall of Fame (BMHOF) are teaming with one of the Hudsons (BMHOF) and someone from Weekend (BMHOF) to do songs from Three Dog Night (Cory Wells - BMHOF). So that connection intended or not, piques my interest. Can you give me more info than that - it looks like something we can easily help promote. Best,
Rick Mathews (Buffalo Music Hall of Fame)

Until you play for now It will be E.L.I.'s Coming....You better hide your hearts Buffalo. Because I know Buffalo will fall in love with this Band. Please, Put me on the mail list please.

I have to print the Mickey Rats calendar tomorrow. Please make sure the May date is solid.

Mark I have three plain golf jackets if you want to practice with your new toy (and embroider them). If they say Hit N Run they are much better prizes!
John B

Hey, are u in another band?
Michelle

Mark, I was wondering if HIT N RUN was playing anywhere for Dyngus Day? BuffaloBarFly.com has you booked at Macaroons starting at 10 pm, but when I looked at HITNRUN.net, there wasn't anything. Kris & I will be there if the band is playing that night. Your friends,
Jay & Kris

Amy

Handsome, talented and a published author to boot!
Ken

Hi Hit and Run. I will miss seeing you this weekend, since your band is taking off. I make at least one show every weekend. It is my entertainment and release from the stress of the work-week. This week will feel empty. I guess that I will just spend some relaxing time with my family and maybe take a vacation for the Easter weekend. See you next week at Macaroons or Rhino's
Elaine

I want to confirm the dates for the Yellow Jaguar and Cheers.
Dave Buffamonte

Thanks again for hooking me up with this gig. We got over 300 shots yesterday! This Slacker has some bit of work to do to meet the dead line. Please pass this along to all so they are in the loop. Furthermore Your / Bands generosity for these services (is greatly appreciated). Will now also include a follow up shoot of the band performing live. Please let me know when some gigs are booked so I can come out to full fill the rest of the deal. Thank you Mark and all. It was definitely MY Ex stream pleasure meeting all of you and being allowed to hang with some of the best Buffalo Music has ever offered to the world.
Dan Ruggiero WNY Hitman Photography

Looking for information on a show we would like Hit and Run to do for us this summer. Please call or email me here…
AnnMarie

That acoustic article is awesome! i told you, you were talented in many ways! :)

Nicole

Are we still on for Lunch?
Ken

Thanks Mark, I will remind you, so that you don't forget.
Lisa

Yes, I think we should narrow down our choices of pics, and then see about any changes we might need or want. The new stuff should come along pretty well, since we've gotten a head start on them vocally. See you all Monday evening ; looking forward to discs! Thanks Mark (and thanks Dan Ruggiero).
Phil

Very impressive young Skywalker.

Stephanie

Hey Mark, Good seeing you at the game. Thank you very much for dropping Julie's name at the door. You guys are a talented band. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to you dudes. There is a reason why you are the number one band in our area. Tight!!!! Thanks for the shout out! Hope to see you soon. Take care Mark!
Tom Schulz (Drummer – The Brew)

Would like to book you Sat May 26.
Kevin

Hey Mark, Congrats on all the awards! You and the band still continue to kick some serious butt in so many ways. I was just replying to let you know, we have our Fundraiser for our son Kenny's Baseball team (The 14U Buffalo Wings) on April 27th (Friday) @Macaroon's (It will be a blast!) How's your son doing? Is he ready to sing with the band yet?? You guys are cranking it out that night for us so we'll see you there. (Laura's email is attached, so you can add that to your mailing) Take Care,
Gary & Laura

I'm so proud of you!! Great technical article. But then again, you would exceed at ANYTHING you put your mind to...it's in the genes (LOL)! Congratulations on having your acoustic article published!
Linda

Saw the picture of Guy on FB, looked like the crazed green tooth fairy. Looked like fun
Ken K (Wide Right)

Can you send me any logo's and photos to generate a promotional poster...you will see and approve before we use and send out.

Darrell Porter

Hey Mark, we are celebrating my friend Amy’s birthday on Fri and Sat night. Her birthday is Saturday but we will be celebrating it on both nights. Please play her favorite song.

You know what. I just have to say that I just love watching Guy at the shows. He is so entertaining. The crazy things he does on stage just keeps me laughing.
Sharon

Always great emails to open up, when you hear about all the great gigs you are booking.
Mike

Great job on Van Halen. I have to get out more often. I forgot how much fun I have at your shows.

Nice pic Mark! The Mad Hatter gone Green!!!!

Melissa

Saw the pictures from downtown, man what a crowd!
Kyle

Pat, it is nice to see you having fun jamming again.
Jim

OMG.....how funny is that picture of you! You almost look Irish.
Paul

I get a kick out of Guys antics. He is so much fun to watch.
Bob Emser

Always a fun time coming out to see hit n run. Thanks for the entertainment.
Sherry

I am proposing to my board a payment with another tip allowance based upon our overall success of the evening. I will late you know asap! Thanks!
Frank

Hi Mark- it's more like a fundraiser and it is at Macaroons on the 24th from 7 til ? With chinese auction too and at the bottom of the tickets is hand written that Hit and Run are going on at 10. I am attending. My girlfriends husband is a coach for the kids in the league.
Steph

Hi Mark! I am doing well except getting older :(. Ugh! But so are you and everyone else! LOL And yes still diving. I typically go every winter with a friend of mine and her hubby. Last month went on a cruise and scheduled to dive in Belize and Honduras but only got one dive in at Belize. Dive buddy got sea sick on first dive and next day seas were too rough so ship couldn't get into port of Roatan. Getting tired of diving the Caribbean. Would like to try Fiji in a yr or two. How about you? What's been going on in your life?
Kelly A

What is the cover charge at Cheers. I want to see hit n run there and never have been there or heard of the place, other than the tv show one in Boston.
Mickey

Kelly, was that really your brother at the show?
Sue

Chris and I were there at Macs after the MOOG bash. You guys always do a phenominal job at the MOOG bash. Hopefully, you will be back next year.
Jennifer F

Hey Mark.....is Hit N Run interested in playing the Taste of Buffalo again this year....the event is Saturday & Sunday July 7th & 8th....let me know if you're interested and what day and time may work best for you.....talk soon
Frank D. Sansone

We would like to book you for our installation banquet in Jan 2013. Can you give me a rate and availability?
Joe

OK I'll take June 8 & June 29 (at the Dock at the Bay). Thanks Mark,
Mike Rozniak

I am so excited. Can we confirm the Sunday, June 24th date from 3-7?
Stephanie

Perfect, please send the contract with your signature and I will put it in our NYE file. Glad that you changed your mind. So Excited!!
Susie (Hyatt)

Mark I called Kiss radio this morning to win Nickelback tickets. They asked me to sing Rockstar. I said I cant sing and only do so when Hit n Run sings. Janet from the station asked if I am in the band, I said no but I work with the lead singer and what do you and I do there. They then had me fill in the lines while they played and stopped the song and gave me Nickelback tickets.
Jennifer B

I want to book you for a large outdoor venue this summer. Can you call me and let me know hit and runs rates and availability.
Rich

Mark, what happened to April for for the Jag? When we did dates you did give me that one didn't you? ill be on the road tues am, may be best to text me.. let me know thanks
Dave Buffamonte (Backstage Productions)

Mark, I heard about the Three Dog Nite Tribute band (E.L.I.) and I am a huge fan. How do I get more information on it? When are you playing?
Billy

How do I book a fundraiser for basketball with Hit and Run? Can I do a date on my own and if I choose to do one at Macaroons, how do I go about that?
Amy M

That is a compliment. The fact that you have never played the Bayou before and they did so well that they asked for an extra hour. Gotta make ya' feel good.
Tina

Mark, Thanks for getting back. After I get all the quotes I will bring it before the committee and vote on it. I should know within a few weeks.
Bob

That was the best St Patrick's day I have ever had. What little I remember about it. LOL
Kevin

I love the pic of GUY Nichols in the white skirt that someone posted on facebook from the parade show.
Linda

And to think the owner was not going to book you because they are always dead on that day. He probably had the best day of his year with your band, hit and run. I have been there several times and that was over 5X the amount of people from the normal Saturday crowd there. Great job!
Ronnie

I am interested in booking the new band ELI for our club. Have someone call and give me details.
Vinnie

That was the first time we were ever at Paradise Island. We had a great time. Great crowd too.
Mark M

Ask jen about her singing career this morning……..think she mentioned hit n run on the radio or tried too
Shawn

And you were worried about it being slow on Saturday. "If you build it, they will come"…as long as Hit and Run is playin' I am there along with my friends. Love you guys!!!!
Lisa

Great show Valentino. I love that pic in the large green hat for St Pattys.
Kristin

Can we get the Three Dog Night band to do a show at the Tralf?
Tom B

(Hit n Run) Still the best band in the world. Thanks for letting me sit in with you last night. Holla! See you at the Bayou on Sun.
Greg "Booker"

You have a new fan. I brought down a first time viewer for your band and they absolutely loved hit and run. Kept saying how tremendously talented every member is. She wants to go see you again next week now.
Amanda

I posted on my facebook page last night about ELI and the response was great I even had 3 large venues message me that they want the band one being Waterstreet Landing in Lewiston to do a outdoor concert on Sunday July 8th. Getting a great buzz before we even play a note…scary, that shows the power and respect as musicians of the people in this group. Let's not disappoint and get this thing done, we're over half way there. Im pumped.
Tommy G (E.L.I. 3 Dog Night Tribute band)

Awesome (show at the Bayou)! I had so much fun!! My friend thought you guys were amazing.
Melanie

Hey we moved back. I am going to try to talk Dan into coming up to Pages to see you sing (finally) on Saturday. Is there a cover charge? What should I expect?
Amy Thompson

Im gonna call the place and see if maybe they can reserve a table for me. Gonna try to get there early though. I'll tell them I'm gonna spend $$$$. Told Paula if i get killed make sure she tells everyone she's making me go
Julie

I will see you on the weekend. Planning on a great time.
Scott

"PARTY THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!!! We got 2 reasons to celebrate this Saturday. First of all, it's St. Patrick's Day!!!! 2nd, it's also Jeremy's birthday!!!!! We will be celebrating at Page's Pages Paradise Island starting at 10pm with Hit N Run (of course)!!!!! :)"
Lisa

We will see you on Sat. Going Fri to see Elvis
Roger

We are planning on Pages tonight. We can give you the money/ down payment via check or if you require a deposit for our show. Let us know.
Stephanie

Looking forward to Saturday.
Dave Terry

I'll probably be there from 3 until you stop playing - we're taking a bus from a bar down the street from our house and leaves for downtown at 1:00 and I like to see the parade (one year David nearly got himself arrested by trying to join the Irish dancers, big surprise). I'd love to see you guys at Page's Paradise Island Saturday night. Lookin forward to it! and thanks again for such a great time Saturday - HNR is my favorite stress-reliever!
Mary

I am such a loser, I heard I missed a great time. Sorry, family commitments.
Sheila

We will see you on Saturday at Pages.
Theresa

Hi Mark! Any dates yet for the Haberl summer party?
Stephanie

Theres a chance we may come Sun. but we are afraid of being trampled in the crowd. The weather is suppose to be nice and there will be so many people down there
Paula

We will try to get there early (on Sunday to the Bayou for the parade)!
Julie

"Jennifer" gave a shout out to HNR on kiss98.5 this morning. Sweet, free advertising! LOL!
Brenda

So far damn good huh guys! With great attitudes and work ethic we should go far. We still have much work to do but it should be a lot of fun. I hope everyone knows that Tony and me are free on June 1 of THIS year, so I hope Live at the Forum is on. Also, July 8 at Waterstreet could be a great gig. We are really off to great start
Rick Ryan (E.L.I. and Weekend)

I am at Van Halen. Where s Guy Nichols?
Keith

5000 people filled out the facebook account. Can you start another one or do a fan page, so you can get more?
Donna

I can do pictures and practice at any time. Things are going great for our Three Dog Night band (E.L.I.)
Phil Hudson (The Road)

Good Morning Mark! I had a fantastic time at Queen of Heaven! So much fun and I love partying with my family, they're the best! What time do you play till on Sunday at Bayou? I know I asked Kelly but due to Jen's jello shots & vodka-soaked gummy bears, I have no recollection of what she said. I know you start at 1:00 but not sure what time you stop?
Mary

ok i think shes good with that.....thank u so much
Paula

I will see you tonight. I will try not to act like a huge radio star or rock star. LOL
David

Mark, you gotta boot someone off your facebook to make room for me. Get rid of some of those deadbeats and add me as a friend.
Joe

It will be a Hit n Run weekend. My friends and I are all coming out both nights.
Kerry

Don't forget we are celebrating Jeremy's birthday at Pages.
Joelle

Mark, Thanks for the quick reply. Our picnic I believe is June 13th and is now being held near Ralph Wilson Stadium. I just happened to be up there today and was told they have all the speakers and equipment you would need. If you can let me know it would be great. I would like to have you at the party since you guys were at my first, second and third picnics. Just let me know because my decision will not be made till the end of March. Thanks.
Bob B

We want to confirm you for the Concert Series 2012 from 6:30-8, straight through. Call me to confirm.
Don

Hi Mark, Any word on June 1 or 8 Yet? I would like to book June 8 with another band if you don't need it. Thanks,
Mike Rozniak

Fri Fathers Day 2013, I want to book Hit N Run in Jamestown. Lets do it. “VooDoo Child”
Randy G

goom-ba: for a vocalist who sings his balls off, 200 times a year, every weekend, this project would have not taking off with out you... thank you for being there... excellent job on easy to be hard.. what a voice...
Paulie B (E.L.I.)

I see that you have another great summer season planned.
Jason

Hi Mark, I am wondering if you guys are available next June 1st (yes, 2013!) for a private party at a location in Elma? If so, what is the cost? Thanks
Denise M

How do I find out more information on the 3 Dog Night tribute band.
Ann

"St patricks Day party with ME and Hit N Run Saturday, 17th (at Pages Paradise Island)....it's gonna be off the hook babe!! Make sure u guys stop in. Text me and I will put u on my guest list."
Pauly N (DJ Pauie)

I am at Van Halen. Where is Guy Nichols (on stage)?
Keith W

I saw you for the first time at the Bret Michaels concert and I was so impressed...would have rathered listen to you all night than Bret! Amazing performance, especially Guy. We'll definitely be looking you up again...thank you for putting on such a fantastic show.
Terry

Mark - I hope you are doing well. When I last saw you last, I don't know if you remember but, we talked about the possibility of a fundraiser for basketball/baseball. Are you still doing fundraisers? If so where and would it be possible to discuss the possibility of Hit n run playing for a fundraiser for Hamburg basketball? Please let me know either way and I hope you are doing well. Sincerely,
Amy M

Hit n Run, I am having a wedding in July 2013 and I love your band. Have you ever considered performing at weddings? Thank you
Carly R

Dear Hit-N-Run, My fiance and I have seen you at several venues, including the Moog Mid Winter Bash for several years. We absolutely love your music; you are a very talented group! We are interested in having you play our wedding July 13, 2013 and were wondering if you were available and what a cost estimate would be. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely,
Ashley T and Joe G

Hello, I will be holding my second annual military benefit in honor of my late brother Jacob. It was such a success last year to help support our troops and veterans. I'm looking for entertainment at this event. It will be held Saturday June 30th 2012 from 3pm until 8pm. At "Lily Of The Valley" banquet hall. Which is located in Cheektowaga NY on Union Rd. If this can be accommodated please contact me. Ty for your time. :)
Jennifer

I seen your band out many times and you guys get it on how to make it work. Thanks and see you in a beer tent soon.
Ty

See you tonight. You know I am famous because of hit and run.
Sal

How do you get tickets for the 3/10 event???
Kelly C

Hey Mark, I just scheduled a date with Dee's Firehouse...as we talked a while I told Dee she should talk to you about scheduling Hit-n-Run...she said she heard you weren't cheap and I told her it doesn't matter Mark will fill the place and you will make tons a cash..anyway she told me to let you know she'd like to talk about it. I'm sure you know her new venue is across from the old Transit Inn... and she needs a band for her grand opening. Hope something works out...it's a great spot for Great live music!
Pat Terry (Naughty Dog)

"Nothing better than St Patty's day W/ Hit N Run!!! :)"
Kathy K

Can you do: Where the Streets have no name and Van Halen tonight?
Don

That was a great HNR show.
John

Any chance of doing some shows with you this summer, or getting us on some of the bills?
Sam

I want to do a party show with you in 2013. Let me know if I can book you way in advance, It seems that I have to a year early to get an open date.
Charlie

Very few bands realize how extremely talented you need to be in order to separate their bands from the rest, and stand the test of time which you certainly have! Congrats!
Rick

Thanks for doing the Davey Jones tribute last night.
Dawn

Hi Mark! We will be celebrating it at Pages with HNR!!
Joelle

The set-up at Rhino’s is different. I was on the side of the stage. I got a chance to really watch Joe play the drums. He is amazing. He does more with his left hand by itself than most drummers do with both.
Ken

Hi Guys, I'm just reaching out for some ideas...... I started expanding my poems to where they could be lyrics to songs. Is it mandatory to write the song too or does another person do that? How do you know what Genre it should be; how do you protect on the off chance it is liked and of course not taken by an unknown (stolen).
Jennifer S

hey im gonna go to see the band at the Yellow Jaguar Williamsville for my mom birthday would you sing happy birthday to her name kathy
Shannon

I love the way Kelly does the Melissa Etheridge song. I have been seeing the band for several years and remembered that she did one or two more from Melissa. Is there any way she can do the others more often, since she does such a great job imitating Melissa.
Tom

The people that i spoke with at MOOG bash thought it was boring this year and they want you guys to play again.
Mike

We love GUY!!!!!!
Sarah

Great seeing you Saturday, you sound great! I am sorry for my friend Kelly she is crazy when she has one to many. Thanks bestie ever
Melissa

They really missed you guys at MOOG this year. I am not blowing smoke up your ASS. I heard that from a bunch of people. The room was not nearly as filled and that it was not as much fun. Also thought the singer from the Hollies struggled a little.
Joe M

Tell Dan congrats on his engagement to Dawn.
Amy

"It was a great time last night w Hit N Run and my buds"
Kevin

I love the way Pat sings Aerosmith, Walk this Way! That is the best version I have heard.
Vicky

I love the way that the band does such a variety of songs without a loss in the quality. Some bands can do certain songs or groups well, and then they will ruin it by doing some songs they have no business playing. Either you guys pick the songs that suit you very well, or you just are so very talented that you can do them all well.
Barbara

Mark, can you help book us at some summer tent shows, I will be glad to pay you commission.
Mike

we didnt stay upstairs long at the moog show. i heard him sing one song and it was pretty good. moody blues guy i didn't see at all. your room was deadzone comparably.
Jen P

(Here is my email to) Confirm M&T for Monday July 23 noon to 1pm, The sound is supplied. I will forward paperwork in a few weeks.
Tom M

Hi Mark, We finally had our meeting last night. The committee did decide to hire you for one night next year in 2013. You may choose which evening you would like to play. Either Friday or Saturday, June 2013. Please let me know which date you prefer ASAP. Will you mail me a contract for that evening. And please indicate how much of a deposit you require.If you could get this to me before the next meeting I can have it signed off on your contract and get it and the deposit back to you soon. Thank you,
Brenda

Mark, how is everything going? This is my last year as PBA Vice President and last year running our picnic (second Wednesday in June). My committee met and your band was one of five I was asked to get quotes for. If you are interested I was looking for a price for four hours of playing (5pm - 9pm) on that Wednesday. No rush just when you get a chance and if you boys are interested in playing just drop me a line. Thanks,
Bob B

Hey guys just letting you know tickets are going great for Queen of Heaven Spring Party. If anyone wants a table they can call us at 675-2287. Can't wait this should be a good one. See ya soon KEEP ROCKIN !!

Don

Hey Mark, Here is the link and poster for the facebook event I created for the St Patrick’s Show at Bayou.

I am also hanging up posters everywhere.https://www.facebook.com/events/195481050556773 I appreciate it and am looking forward to it.

I did however want to run a date by you for next year. We were thinking of Fri. Feb. 15th. Hope you have that available. Could you please let me know? Thanks again.
Colleen

What a drag at the MOOG show this year. I am not crazy about this…”The same band cant play two years in a row” thing that they do. Didn’t they let you play 4 out of the last 5? Isn’t the goal for us to have fun at our yearly party? I wish you were there every year. I hope they come to their senses and have you back next year.
Mike

Mark, you’d probably know me if you saw me. I’m one of those guys you see all the time at your gigs that comes and watches you guys. As a matter of fact I’m Keith W buddy and I’m always with him when we come. I just wanted to send you an email to ask you something about your gig on Friday at Macs. So I thought I would see if maybe we could get him up on stage with you for a song or two on Friday night maybe? I’ll give you a shout when we get there Friday so you know we are there in case you’re up for it. See you Friday.
Keith

My friends and I feel extremely lucky to be part of the hit and run family.
Annie

I am so glad that you guys learned this song for a wedding and now play it regularly.
Dianne

Hold the (M&T Plaza) date (Mon, July 23) and I'll see what I can get for money. I think I can make that fly though
Tom McGill (Starstruck)

Great song. I miss Hit n Run singing it. It has been like 3 years since I last heard it.
Lisa

My daughter really wants to meet you guys. I was gonna bring her tonight for the first hour so she can C U since it is an early show. Any way I can get a picture of you all with her.
Jessica

Cruising out with Leslie T front lead vocal of Gimme Buffet…tonight and plan on heading out to (see you) at Rhino’s for a bit. Any way you can let her sing Gunpowder and lead with you tonight? It would mean a lot.
Big Jack

Driving all the way from Cleveland to see Hit and Run. Would you play in Cleveland, if I booked you or had some clubs book you?
Rhonda

Mark…I will be working with you guys at Pages on St Pattys day. We will have a HUUUUGe Night.
Pauly Nigro DJ

Where are you at this weekend?
Melissa

Hi Mark! Saturday night I decided to drink just Red Bull..... Big mistake. When I got home, I could not sleep. I was too wired and awake from the Red Bull. This weekend, I think I'll stick to the normal. Maybe one or two cups only of Red Bull. Thanks!!!
Lisa

Hey Mark, Hope all has been good. I am on the Committee for the Halloween rocks Party. We are already planning for next year party and was wondering if you have Friday Oct 26, 2012 open. We are looking at luccarelli's right now. It is for the same organization that sponsored the event at Paradise last Halloween. we will still be offering the same deal and we will provide sound and lights. Please get back to me when you have a chance. We have no problem signing a contract and putting down a deposit.
Michael Muroff (Executive Director of Talent Research & Marketing)

Jeff S

I think everyone is doing great in our group and Mark is such a strong vocalist! Tommy and I certainly agree we we are lucky to have a great singer like Mark to work with. I also feel honored personally to be working with such a talented group of musicians! With a little perseverance, we can be a very "BOSS" band, as an old friend would have put it!
Phil Hudson (E.L.I. 3 Dog Night Tribute Band)

Tom McGill (Starstruck Productions)

Hi Mark, This is Ron's sister. Annie's friend. I was wondering how much it would cost to hire the band for a private Party maybe only playing 4 hours with free food and booze. Lol it would be a outside thing. I live in Clarence with a big yard. My friend our indigo and I'm sure I can get a stage if needed. June 30. My daughters graduation/ maybe Rons reception haha if Diana Marys him. Let me know. Hey maybe I'll wear that tattoo for Guy!!!

Jackie

So I went to the game last night. Great game! The Blue Light Lime is going down easy. 6-0 shut-out, 4 fights. Maybe Ruff not behind the bench helped loosen up the team. Then I get back to the parking lot to the van and on the driver’s side window is a sticker…Don’t Stop Believin’ HNR. I’m like WTH?!?!?! I kid you not. (They must have seen my original HNR sticker on the back.) LOL
Mark T

I still have the Barnabas weekend open to work on a date.

Wayne

Hit n Run, give me a call. We are looking at Sunday, August 19th for our Rock n Blues annual show and we really are looking forward to having your band to play. You did a great job for us last year. We will be staring earlier and you can have your choice of a time slot. Call me to discuss.

Hi Mark, Thanks for the email and I got your message a couple weeks ago too. Right now as per our last discussion, I am still waiting for another civic committee meeting to happen so I can see what the committee would like to do. They do not have regular meetings so I can not tell you when that will be. I will bring it to there attention when they do have a meeting and let you know what happens. Thank you,
Brenda H

Hi Mark!!! I gotta say, I have made many good friends through going to the band's shows!! Even though I was not at last night's show, I still got to hear REO's Take It On The Run (around 2:20am)!! A certain friend at the show called me on their cell phone and let me listen to the rest of REO's song by cell song!! It sounded great, like I was there!!! They must've been right up front in order for me to hear it so well. Thank you!!!
Lisa

That guitar will only go up in value. One in a lifetime. The lead sound was fantastic.

Hi Mark, Thanks for getting back to me We have had numerous bands over the years. We usually change it up every year or so. Our event runs from 8:00pm to 1:00am. We have our own DJ to play during breaks. Your total play time would be approx 4 hours . We are just looking for rates that you wld charge. Thanks!
karyl

Hello, My family is trying to find a band for a benefit for my cousin Pamela. She has under gone a long journey and thought we were going to lose her one day. They told us that there were no options that we would have to take her off life support. On that day a miracle happened, she woke up, and became herself again. We need musicians and you being one of her favorite bands came to our mind. She would travel to bars, festivals, you named it she always loved your shows. If you would be willing to play for a couple hours at her benefit, I know that this would make the day for her, to hear the songs she loves sung by her favorite band. If you are interested please let me know!
Molly

Thanks Mark we are set for the 29th of Sept at Macaroons.
Tony

Driving from CLE to party with Janice on Sat at Rhino’s. You guys need to come to Cleveland. It is a long drive to WS.
Rhonda

Hit n Run is always a good time.
Andrea

How is your old bass player Tommy Herr doing? What is he up to and is he still playing.

Like the subject line? I'm soooo glad I met her at the shows!!! She is one awesome person that I'm proud to call my friend!!!
Lisa

He got caught in another lie. Who would have thought? He never lies. LOL
Sue

Thank you Mark and everyone in the band! It’s a wonderful treat for me to be invited up and play with you guys. I take it all seriously because we never know just how long we will be able to do this stuff, (plus I will be 53 this April.) I just wanted you to know it is a great joy for me to be trusted enough to be invited up there with you. As always you sounded really great and you all encourage me to be better and keep raising my personal bar. Thanks again Mark! Keep being an example of what great music should always sound like.
Pat Terry (Naughty Dawg)

How cute
Jennifer B

I laughed along with you on your radio interview when I saw the link.

We are looking for someone to give us a BREAK regarding playing a big show with some big crowds this summer. even just 1 show. I thought of you because I respect your work ethic!1 band -2 Tributes. Squealer AC/DC -The Bon Years, Snowblind (formerly Sabotage)-Black Sabbath-The Ozzy years. We will play for free and not create a hassle. Hope to hear back from you Mark.
Sammy Sole

Mark you did the right thing. You will never go wrong by taking the professional way.
Mary

My phone number is attached. I will def have to learn that one note for note now. I have tooled around with it but never got it perfect so this will be a challenge then, but I would love to come up and perform it with the group. Its a great song! Hope to hear and see you soon

Amy Partsch-Putz

Hi There. I was wondering if you play anywhere in the Tonawanda’s anytime soon. Thanks
Brenda Nelson

The band sounded great.
Amy T

We are thinking of holding a company event on March 17th and your band was recommended by Pearl Street. Could you please provide availability and pricing information at your earliest convenience. We typically have 150-200 employees at our annual 'Spring Fling' but try to change up location and venue. We would most likely start around 5 and go until 10 pm. I am not confirmed on location yet since we are in the planning stages of the event. Thanks in advance.
Monica L

It is always a Great Experience working with you and the rest of the band! Anytime, At All!
AL Hury

Ron

We are celebrating my friends Chris birthday on Friday with Hit n Run. Can you please flay a few of his favorite songs?
Lisa

Mark thank you for the phone call. All of the (Boys of Summer) guys really appreciated you calling us. The GM has decided to try something different for next year so go ahead and take it if you want. We had a good run there and hopefully will be back again. No doors were closed, they still like us, they just want to try something different. Thanks again Mark!
David G (Boys of Summer)

Kevin (Milkman)

Thanks for taking Jordan with you again to the movies
Paul

Great show we all had a good time. You could not have hand selected the first 15 songs any better the other night. Everyone in the crowd had a huge simile on their faces. What time did you get home?
Terry

Night ranger and loverboy for Chris 2nite for his bday. I got a feeling tonight is gonna be a good nite. Cherry bombs, HNR singing REO & great friends. What could be better.
Lisa

I am definitely trying to get to the show this weekend.
Doreen

Ok the last weekend in June sounds good...Did you want to stop by one day to talk? Let us know. Thanks!
Ray

I'm bringing a ton of nurse friends to party with you all tonite...can't wait!!
Miranda

Al did a great job on the drums last week.
Frank

Hi Mark. Unfortunately the Town doesn’t rent out the shelter to individuals to hold events where you would sell alcohol. They only let Town events do that. You would need a hall or a grove that would let you bring on your our food and liquor and there really aren't to many places that let you do that. I could get a license to use for an event but again location is the problem. I will be home all day tomorrow. Call me when you are free to chat.
Jackie

Mark,you all sounded great on radio.I just have to say after all these years not only do you still look the same (28 LOL) you still sound great! Keep it up!
Heather H

On behalf of myself and all of the girls, thank you Hit and Run for such a great time in Alden.
Dee

Mark I will give you some alternate dates there (at Templetons Landing) on a Friday. I have the calendar.
Jerry M

Mark, Christine and I would like to thank you for breakfast yesterday. You did not have to do that!!! We thank you! Hopefully, that made Denise and her friend’s day!!! Again, we all thank you
Larry and Christine

How bout them Giants! Hope you got to see the game somewhere fun...I will probably have to come out to another one of your shows to catch a drink with you afterwards, I can imagine your schedule is a lot more crazy than mine is...but a drink is long over due...
Stephanie

WOW...so much fun (at Alden Winterfest)!! I'll be up and dancing next year!!!!! We should find a place to go dancing when we spend our Bowling money!!!! L&F to all of you! Have a Great Day :o)
Pam R

Count me in!
Ruth I

Thanks for letting me sit in with you. I had a blast.
Doug Ackman

Go Giants. They Won. Woo Hooo.
Lisa

Hey Mark, Thank you so much. Your much too generous and shouldn’t have done that. Again thank you very much. And your son is adorable. You two must have a great time together. He seems like quite a character. Have a great day.
Christine

I did not know you could pack that fire hall any tighter last week in Alden. I had an absolute riot and my friends had a great time.
Nick

Hi Mark, The picture is of a similar car. It has almost every option that was available, but I'll need 2 HIT N RUN stickers for it. One for each side (like I had on my blazer). Thanks,
Jay Panzarella

Would Hit n Run be willing to come back (a third time) for the whole two hours for the radio show "Heard it on the X"?
Rich

Hello, We are currently doing some research and shopping for a band for our New Years Eve gala. If you are interested please contact Charles P. Thank you
Karyl M

Hi, I noticed on your schedule at Macaroons you have several different organizations listed. Are they fundraisers? If so, how do they work? My daughter plays on a girls hockey team and it is very hard to raise money. We venture out several times a year to see you guys and love it. I was just wondering if and how you do fundraisers. Thank you for your time.
Lisa L

Dear Mark, WE ARE SO EXCITED HIT N RUN IS GOING TO BE HERE FOR NEW YEAR'S EVE!
Angela

Mark, Looking for a date for 2012 Halloween (Bellevue) dance date. October 26 or 27? Let me know.

Jeff S (Lancaster PBA)

Mark, I will talk with him over the weekend…and one of us will let you know (about doing both the Fri and Sat shows)…thanks buddy.
Ryan

Did you get a chance to figure out what dates would work for rats over the weekend?
Tom McGill (Starstruck)

Terry & Judy (Queen of Heaven Dance)

Mark, I hear a little rumor that you are doing a separate project for a tribute band with members from "The Road" and "Weekend." Sounds great. Let me know when the first show will be.
Peter

We are all confirmed for St Gabriels, but can you change the website to St Gabriels "Tent Party" so people know it does not have rides.
Gary

Heads up who can do an early gig on Feb 17 in Leroy NY from 12Pm to 2PM high profile gig. Then we play the AUD at 10PM that night.
GUY

Hey Mark, your name was on the Sabres Jumboton. It said "Buffalo Sabres Welcome The Famous Mark Valentino of Hit n Run" I took a picture of it and I am sending it to you. Wow.

That's awesome. I just wanted to remind you that you are an amazing person. Don't ever forget it.
Melissa

Love my Hit n Run
Erin H

Mark. Hope thing are going well. Can you take June 22 at Templetons landing. 7-11? Or 6/29. Let me know ASAP. Thanks
Jerry

You sounded great. One of the best. I taped the radio show.
Jessica

That is awesome Mark. It "SHOULD" have said "The Famous Mark Valentino of Buffalo Music Hall of Fame, Hit N Run" But that is really cool. Actually Buffalo Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, sorry. Tell Mr. Andrews hello.
Scott J

I was at yesterdays game too and saw the Scoreboard sign with your name and Hit and Run too ….. that was cool
Jutta

Nice!!!. The Famous
Guy

Now you will have a big head, (between the Sabres scoreboard and the radio show)….lol No really that is great! I am jealous!!! lol
Amy P

Dude, the Famous Mark Valentino? It should say the "World Famous Mark Valentino"! Nice!
Tony P

found the video clip, but will have to watch it when I get home - its too long for to watch at work - have a good day!
Molly

That is cool. Looks like you've had more than 15 minutes of fame already!
Tito

Hi Mark! Is the Alden Winterfest like the fire hall shows where we can bring our own alcohol? How'd you like the phone call from my brother Sunday? I laughed my ass off, he's just way too funny! Have a good day!
-Mary

That Sabres Scoreboard…The Buffalo Sabres welcome the Famous Mark Valentino of Hit and Run….was awesome. Luv it. I am sure that completed your night.
Barbara

pretty cool! see everyone luvs Mark Valentino!!
Debbie

Thanks Mark, It was mailed out today so you should be receiving it sometime this week. I also CC'd Brenda who handles our finances. Can you possibly give her a call and get her your 10-99 information? Thank you,
Sean

Wasn't that nice to hear (on the radio show you just did) from the calls where people like to hear you play, what their fav songs are? I enjoyed listening to the calls to hear what people had to say. The calls should make you feel good, all your hard work that you've put into this band. Don't think I ever seen you play that type of guitar…but I liked that, wasn't enough much music.
Christa

You guys just look like you are having fun. It's gotta be surreal to do what you guys do every weekend.
Tim

The videos (from our radio show that had Kool n the Gang members) are up.
Kelly

Did the Q of H date change? I thought it was 3/3 originally. Janet's b-day is 3/7. Figured HNR on 3/3 and Wide Right on 3/10 for her b-day celebrations. Now if you are both playing on 3/10
Mark T

I have a bunch of people going to Tony Romes on the 11th. Not that there will be any room! lol Most of the parents from the hockey team are all going early for dinner to we can get a spot, and stay for you guys.
Kathy

Thanks for everything.

Tell your roommate, anytime she wants to trade places, I am there.

Lisa

HNR sounded good on the radio last night. Tried to call in but the first time I got cut off after 10 minutes, called in again and after 15 minutes the show ended. Let me know next time you are on. I know the host mentioned a 2 hour show in the future. Maybe I will get through next time to pick on you.

Mark, Thanks for buying the band dinner before our radio show. That was nice of you.
Pat

I missed the beginning to the interview last night. The family was over for dinner. I did manage to turn it on at 6:30. You sounded good. You didn't disappoint. When you started listing the bands you opened for, Shawn & I had our arm's up and our fingers extended waiting for it, Honeymoon Suite, FIVE TIMES. Let me know when the next one will be on the air
Rick

I cant believe how calm, cool collected you were on the air. It is like you have been doing it all your life. I would be stumbling over words and getting all embarrassed, or just plain freeze up and not know what to say.
Ellen

Hello, We are currently doing some research and shopping for a band for our New Years Eve gala. If you are interested please contact Charles Thank you
Karyl M

Mark, I wanted to see if your band is interested in playing at St Johns in Alden this year in June. Please give me a call and let me know.
Mary N (St Johns Alden Lawn Fete)

They (Memorial and Labor day weekend) could look at those again- would be nice to stick one in the middle someplace as well (for Mickey Rats)
Tom McGill (Starstruck Productions)

Mark, our first choice was Hit n Run. The Hyatt committee was disappointed to hear that you had some concerns and were not going to do our show. We are now looking at four other bands if Hit N Run cant do New Years, one from Rochester. We hope you can change your mind and can do our show, but we need to have an answer by Tuesday. Call me so I can speak about your concerns.
Sue P

Mark, I wanted to run it by you and see if the new Tribute band would be interested in headlining the opening show on the waterfront in NT?
Rick F

Just sayin' loved the interview on the radio, along with Kool and the Gang. Stil cant believe that they are on tour with Van Halen. Weird combo.
Tommy J

Want to get together with you to see about a Halloween show. Have a few different venues to have it at and wanted to see if you are available and which location your band prefers.
Kelly S

You guys sounded great on 1520 (Radio). Good job. Cya Saturday at the winterfest winetasting show in Alden.
Roger

Mark, cant wait to hear the tribute band. Heard you are opening for the harbor series show with them and closing it with hit and run. Talent seems to always find talent. Two hot lineups. Great for U!
Ron

Why was everyone picking on Guy on the radio. That is my job at the HNR shows.
Rachael

Dave said that the chief, Tim would love to have Hit n Run for both Fri and Sat at Winchester. They will talk with Rico.
Michelle

The band was its typically entertaining bunch on the radio. I heard all of the laughing in the background and you can tell how much fun you were having.
Jackie

Mark and Company Looking at 7/13 and 7/14 for the Lancaster SummerFest. Ra and Rose are hoping you can do it!!!! We have a stage and electric ready!!! Thank you,
Nick S

Hi, I noticed on your schedule at Macaroons you have several different organizations listed. Are they fundraisers? If so, how do they work? My daughter plays on a girls hockey team and it is very hard to raise money. We venture out several times a year to see you guys and love it. I was just wondering if and how you do fundraisers. Thank you for your time.
Lisa L

Hello Hit N Run! Let me first say I've seen you at many different venues and I LOVE your music. You are true entertainers and artists and because of that, I wanted to see if you participate in charity events. I am a Co-Chairmen this year's walk is on Saturday, June 23rd from 10am until about 2pm. We would love for Hit N Run to support us in our quest to find a cure. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely,
Lisa F Co-Chairmen since 2007

I wanted to see if you were interested in performing for the Buffalo Charities. Please call me
Shanahan

Mark, thanks for just being you and for ALWAYS being so professional. Seeing others recently and the constant venom they spew, just made me realize how much above it you and the band are. You are THE BEST!
Ann

"Heard it on the X Radio Show , Shawn McQuiller from Kool and the Gang talking about the VH tour, plus the legandary Hit N Run in studio 6pm on Kb1520 am !!!!" Cant wait.

Mary

Hi Mark, I was wondering if you have a stage plot and or input list that you send me. Thanks.
John P. McGovern Audio Shift Manager Entertainment Production Services Seneca Gaming Corporation

Do you perform at weddings? It would be september 8th of this year. If so, please provide a rough cost estimate. I've seen you guys at so many events, it has inspired me to book a band instead of a DJ for my wedding. Thank you
Mike

BEST BAND EVA! just sayin' ;-) HNR's #1 Fan
Brenda G

I like that picture of Guy surrounded by several female cuties at Rhino's. Next time take my picture that way.

Marilyn

Hi Mark, It's Jaime…Steve and Mels friend… My uncle saw that we went to Rhino's to see you play and told me to tell you and your drummer (Joe) hi. His name is Ricky Bower. He plays drums as well and I think he has sat in with you guys in the past.
Jaime

Mark, I know that Joe has a regal tip endorsement, how do I go about getting one too.
Paul

That is the best rendition of Walk this way. I love the scat that Pat (your keyboard player) does. You need to feature him more.
Renee

Hi Mark, do you have any ideas for a hall rental. I need one for Alyssa's graduation. Looking to be back in Buffalo in late June/early July? I am going crazy trying to find a hall. Who would have thought it would be so hard.
DA

Wanna laugh I went to a corner bar in lackawanna last week the karaoke dj thinks you're my brother. So he always gets me to come up and sing an introduces me as your sister. he remembers me from over the summer

Thanks Mark. We had a great time at Pompeii.
Terry

Hi Mark, Attached is a signed contract for the Hit N Run Band we've booked for Sunday (St Pattys) March 8th, 2012 from 1 to 4pm at Bayou. What if we want to change the time to 2pm to 5pm or even noon to 3pm..? Would this be an issue given reasonable notice? I will also need some artwork for marketing which we can go over in a couple weeks. Thanks guys,
Sean

Mark, that was very, very nice of you to donate $100 back from your own pocket, to Pompeii for our fundraiser.
Kim

I need to know the stage plot for the show this Sat at the Casino, in the Bears Den. We will have a few techs there to help you. Dave Holland will be mixing you.
John M

Guy, we love you. You are our favorite bass player ever in hit and run.
Amy

Love that beer tent but then again I love pretty much all beer tents! You're still doing Queen of Heaven and Winchester and others that I always have a blast at, so don't worry. Besides, HNR is making up for it by playing on my birthday at Old Home Days. I should be at Rhino's with Janice. I"m trying to get other friends to come with me. I know I can hang out with Christa & Jen & Dawn. I told Janice she'll have to drag me out of there kicking and screaming - I HATE leaving a HNR show before its over. See you Friday!
Mary

Hit n Run, we are looking to see if you are interested in performing New Years Eve 2012.
Suzie P

Can you send me some information for the Casino show.
Stacey

HI MARK, AMERICAS FUNNIEST HOME VIDEO IS GOING TO SHOW MY FOOTAGE OF THE SQUIRREL ON MY BIRD FEEDER THIS SUNDAY NIGHT. THOUGHT YOU AND THE FAMILY WOULD ENJOY IT. EVERYBODY THAT HAS EVER SEEN IT SAID THAT I SHOULD SUBMIT IT. YOUR FRIEND, PAAAAAAAAAT BRAAAAAAAAAAYMAN

Scott

Hey Mark, Hope you're well. I wanted to touch base with you on your band and avail for our big Customer Appreciation party on September 8th from 11a-3p. I was wondering if you guys would be avail to play our event here at the dealership. We will provide the stage, and we'll have you provide the PA. Let me know your thoughts.

McKeever

Emily

We will be there at Rhinos. 8pm start?

Carolyn

1/9/12 Can you do a wedding on July 14th 3-4 hours?
Scott

I realize that it has been six weeks since my last contact, my interest was for the dates of August 10 & 11. Friday August 10 you told me, the group was booked for Erie County Fair, Saturday August 11 was possibly open. If this is still the case, I would like to book your group for that date. If you already have a commitment, I understand, thank you for your time,

Bob R

Great crowd on Friday at Macaroons. I thought it would be slow with the first real snow storm of the winter and was not even going to go out, but I am glad that I did go. I got there and there was a few hundred in the bar early. I even ran into some high school buddies. Had a blast.
Frank

Can I get the dates for the biggest shows (this summer) that you want for sure? I wanna block those…the secondary shows can be added at will…We'd of course like all of your shows!!!!

Michelle

I am humbled to be associated with the best of the best. It does not suck doing shows for thousands in the summer. Lots of bands are jealous. Its sooo funny. They are not true friends and they are not Hit n Run.
Big Jack

Let me know if you need me to fill in anytime if Available!! Hope to se you next week!!
Marty R

Dennis

Hi Mark, Just browsed the 2012 calendar for hit n run. I wondered if I was suppose to do anything else regarding party with hit n run at our house. Let me know what I missed or if you guys are just over booked. Thanks,
Ray and Stephanie H

Hey mark it's mike Rizzo. Any chance of a Wednesday in June July or august in the grove at Banchetti. It's officially still 2011 and I'm asking! Way ahead of schedule. Give me a call. Thanks.
Mike (Banchetti’s Groovin’ in the Grove)

Paul B

Hi! My name is Janet Monti. I am interested in having your band play at my wedding. The date is June 29th 2013...or September 2013. Please call me or message me back... THANK YOU,
Janet M

Happy New Year Mark! I would love to have you on the week of the 15th with the whole band will that work for you?
Rich R (Heard it on the X radio show)

Hello, I was so impressed with the concert yesterday, I had to send a message...I've been meaning to see the band for quite some time - I'm sorry I waited! After recently adding Guy on my facebook (I know him from Guitar Center) I saw his post mentioning upcoming performances. The timing was perfect and I was able to make it. One of your former band members is also a former member of mine. I used to play in a band with Pat Brayman in the 70's called "Storm" (my first band actually-playing keyboards). We played progressive rock like Genesis, Yes, Gentle Giant, Emerson, etc. I have to say that the professionalism and musicianship of all band members is really impressive! My wife and I had a great time listening to the band! We will certainly come back! In addition to the authenticity of pieces that were played, the vocal ability of Mark and Kelly (with support from I believe all members) was top notch! Hit n Run has set a standard that I believe is not something that can be easily met by a band! One more thing...I said to my wife that I wish a band of this caliper would consider playing at our wedding, but that would require a time machine return us to 1988! If I can think of any event I will certainly mention Hit n Run as a premium option...really! Thank you,
Jeff Fineberg

those guys (musicians) are f-ing awesome, I bet you love playing with them.
Frank V

It was a sick crowd at the Yellow Jaguar. I was surprised it was so packed after being open only 2 weeks. I had a great time. Send me a few of the pictures of me and my date.
Vinny

Hello Hit n Run! My fiance, Dan M, and I are looking for an alternative to "run of the mill" wedding bands for our June 16, 2012 wedding in Buffalo. Would you be willing or able to play our wedding? We would love to talk about the details if you are available for that date. Please let us know as soon as possible so we can come up with something else if you are not available. Thank you for your time. Best,
Rae and Dan

That was the best time I ever had on New Years.
Jack

Hi Mark, I'm working with Kimberly W on the Our Lady of Pompeii event on January 14th. I would like to pass along to you some complimentary tickets for you to give to your best friends. Will you let me know the best way to get these to you. Thanks,
Tim W (Our Lady of Pompeii)

Congrats. Jim told me that your band helped sell out… not only the whole Super 8 hotel, but most of the hotel across the street. I told him, if anyone would do well there…your band would do well.
Dave

We saw u Thursday at Bret michaels and u were great- do u know how much tickets will be for your jan22 show at the casino? Do u need to buy tickets ahead of time? Please email me to let us know- we can't wait to see you again! Also- how much do you charge for weddings? Looking for oct 13,2012. Thanks!

Steve S

Thanks to every member of Hit and Run for making 2011 so memorable. Even on nights where my friends are busy and I am stopping out by myself, I am sure that I will see at least 20-30 people that I know in the hundreds that follow your band each week. It is great that I have made so many great friends that never would have happened if my friend did not take me to see you a few years ago.
Susan

Mark are you working tomorrow? I have a present that I want to drop off for you.
Mark M

Debra

Danny looks great in that pic at the Bret show!

Pick a weekend in the summer to do the East Hamptons. Maybe we can get the band to play at the Tuna place. It is Charlie Sheens favorite spot in the Hamptons.

Lars

Hello, I was at a show over the summer and noticed that you sell Hit and Run t-shirts at your shows. Do you still sell them at your shows now? If not, where can I purchase one? Thank you!
Lynn K

No I'm not a big time producer, just a big time editor;) If you ever go into Gamestop, check out the show playing on their TV. I'm the one who does that show every month. Buff State does seem like a long time ago.

Great Band!

James

Great to c u last night dying to know what the call to my mom was about
Jessica W

Hi Mark, I was wondering what time you (and the band) plan on getting to The Rapids Theatre on Thursday? Also at what time is HIT N RUN scheduled to take the stage? The doors open for general admission at 7:00 pm. I was hoping to get there EARLY so I'll be close to the stage. I heard that Bret is planning on filming the crowd for use in a future music video. See you there,
Jay Panzarella

What are your prices to have you as a band?
Charlie

if you still have them Bret Michaels tix, I'm interested in taking them. My friend just about freaked out when I told her you had them and she could have a chance to meet him..so I'll take them if you still have them. Let me know. Thanks
Melissa S

Hi Mark – great time last night! Thanks for the entertainment. You guys always put on a good show. Tony had never seen you previously and was very impressed. Thanks
Rick

I'll take 2 tickets for the Bret Michaels show. I have the $$ on me, so whenever you have time, let me know.
Barbara

Mark, I think the (Three Dog Nite Tribute) band would do well and you should do it (with members of The Road and Weekend). If I could help out in any way, let me know.
Rick Falkowski (Buffalo Music Awards)

Are there any tickets left for Bret Michaels?
Jessica W

Your Wish is My Command: I will be taking your buddy, Brent to see you guys with Bret Michaels.

Next time I am buying the shots.
Julie

Hi Mark, Thanks for the invite to the Hit and Run show! Great sound. I really enjoyed the band. Take care,
Marco Perez

Do u guys know how to play Every Rose has its Thorn? If not ....that would be a great song to learn. A tribute to Bret Michaels....just a suggestion. It kinda of reminds me of u.... just kidding.
Paul

Hey Mark!! first week in Feb. is good!! Feb. 11th I have a gig with Maria! Feb/ 10th is good unless you want Al to do it! Aug. is good too! Let me know the dates as soon as you can!! Thank you I appreciate you thinking of me to help out!! Have a Great Christmas!!
Marty

Have a great time on Thursday! Sing ur heart out, like no one is watching! and def enjoy the show!
Michelle

Mark, You and I have e-mailed before. I am on your e-mail list. Anyway, I thought I’d throw this over to you and maybe you can suggest someone I can contact? I have been looking for a local Buffalo punk/rock band to kind of inspire my 12 year old son. He loves "Green Day" type of rock but thanks to me he also loves everything from the Ramones to Kiss to Rise Against. He spends hours writing "songs" What I am trying to do is find a band that will let him come and watch while they practice and kinda take him under their wing for a few hours. I thought any young band would love the chance to inspire a younger musician. Anyway, any suggestions or ideas are welcome. Rock on!
Mark O

Hey..... that was a fun nite......the hockey game, hugs, shots and music. I missed hearing more bon jovi, styx, journey, and home sweet home at the end. o well! Seems like you have to please the majority of the crowd
Paula

Hey Mark, As we have discussed, our party next year is going to be December 8th. Please advance an agreement either through mail or give to me at bowling at your convenience. Thanks again and always what a great job by all of you! Love ya
Kim

Hey buddy…Sept 8th, plus we are gonna do the June tent again so please reserve June 9th for us also. Thanks Pal. See you soon.
Rico

Mark are you coming to Pages? I want to work on dates for 2012. I am open to the date you gave and might look at doing that Saturday instead of the Friday.
Bryan

Hey you!! I wanted to see if you were available June 22 to do a four hr gig at field days? And if so, how much would it cost? Looking to book a band and of course thought of you guys first!!
~Kelly.EMT~

Mark: I will be meeting with some board members this evening. I will address this issue with them, relay your concerns and resolve it by tomorrow so that you can make your plans for next year. Hit n Run has been a big part of the success we have enjoyed during the July Fourth celebration. Thanks for taking the time to contact me.
Bill

Hello, I was at a show over the summer and noticed that you sell Hit and Run t-shirts at your shows. Do you still sell them at your shows now? If not, where can I purchase one? Thank you!

Ross

Good for Guy (winning top bass player)! People like him! Glad you got your awards, you deserve each and every one of them!
Nick

Mark, CONGRATULATIONS on the achievement awards for yourself and the for Hit n Run. I guess after winning like 20 times, they want to switch things up and pull you out. You guys are the best and it is well deserved.
Jim

Hi Mark, Must be a hoot opening for (& I assume getting to meet and/or hang out with) Brett Michaels! Have a great New Year's gig & keep in touch! Eddie (7th Heaven) PS You guys should look into getting a gig at "Q's" in Caledonia (formerly Gridiron, Spectator's, etc). 7th Heaven just did a show there this past Sat night-it was awesome! Keep rockin'!!!!!
Eddie (7th Heaven)

Guy…glad to see you won Top Bassist in the Nightlife awards. You are the most entertaining bass player and band out there.
Michael

"Liquor license for YellowJaguar Buffalo is approved, WE WILL BE OPENING SOON!!!! Hit N Run will be playing New Years Eve. Become a friend now for updates and shows
Mike Muroff

Both dates are good. Do you want to confirm.
Dave Buffamonte (Cheers)

I have just confirmed the Edge radio station to be at Macaroons prior to your show in mid Dec, They are giving away about a dozen signed guitars to lucky people in the club who are there early to sign up. Can you do more of your alternative and heavier songs earlier in the night?
Phil

Cant wait for New Years. Was bummed I was going to miss it. Been a tradition for 10 years.
Liz

Mark Can you please give Katey a call at re: load in time. Thanks
Jerry Meyers ESI Artists

Thanks (for the congrats on winning the bassist award). Feels good…thanks for putting me back in it. I love our F-in Band
Guy

I had fun at the Aud. That is going to be one fun wedding for them people that were on stage. You and Guy were making me laugh. "Don't stop till he cums"omg I almost peed myself. Glad you don't forget about the Sister Hazel song..I love it
Chris

What time do we need to get there next Thurs for the Bret Michaels opener?
Amy L

That’s what are friends are for to help lift you up and pick up the pieces. People are just jealous because if they weren’t they wouldn’t make comments that hurt. People wish they were you. Heck I wish I was you. I wish I had a voice like you. Quote: The jealous are few compared to the number of people who adore you. Heck I feel special being apart of your life. Walking into the GYM and the boys are like hey hit n run. One day I missed the gym and a guy came up to my workout partner and said where’s Hit N Run today. I feel like maybe I am a little more famous because of you.
Melissa

U NEED to attend and receive that award, that is an accomplishment! and should be proud of all the hard work u and the band have done! Very proud of u :)and the rest of the band of course...u and the band deserve the recognition for a job well done!
Michelle

Another Q of H would have been good. The Central Terminal on Paderewski is classic inside. Went there with the Kolniaks for Dyngus Day. But the best, and with all the people you know and connections you got you could have gotten in, the Bills Ralph Wilson Fieldhouse. HUGE place, parking everywhere, yeah nice!
Mark T

My friends and I had such a great time at the Aud last week. Hit and Run is “THE BEST”
Nicole

Mark, I have a friend who is going to HNR/Brett Michaels show in Niagara Falls next week. By any chance can you check with Mark to see if you can get me a back stage pass for my friend? I would appreciate it.
Ken

if I buy the tickets, do I get to meet Brett Michaels? I LOVED him and Poison in the 90's.... not as much as Bon Jovi, but pretty close. I'm jealous you got your pic with Bon Jovi...let me ask hubby about tickets and I'll get back to you.
Melissa S

MARKeting:)
Dan K

Hows about a time the doors open and when Time Hit n run Starts.
Shammy

Mark, I saw Guy and picked up some lights. Let me know about (doing sound for) the summer shows.
Al S

Mark, how are you doing? I have a question, is there more tickets to Bret Michaels? My friend needs one. U and Guy know him from the Guitar Center! Lucas Farley.
Amy P

Am I bunking with you for New Years?

You rocked last night!
Kyle

Pat, I’ll be flying to Buffalo Dec 25-Jan5. Plans are open. Let me know where you are playing
Dave P

Hey Mark, change of plans for New Years. Wedding (that I had to attend) is on the 30th. So I can make your NYE show after all. Got a 3 queen bed deluxe for $72. Tell people to book online and use AAA discount and save 10%.
Liz

Any earlier dates in 2012 that you can give us at Pages Paradise?
Bryan

Hey Mark just asking for a guy I work for below. Actually Ken and his wife Teresa that I work with both, are neighbors of yours. They own a greyhound dog, must be within a house or 2 of you. Teresa says she sees & talks to your son and Nancy when she is out walking her dog
Mark T

I am interested in 2012 dates (for Hit n Run). Also talked to Dave Koester. He said you might be looking for a NY Eve venue. Could you let me know availability and what Fridays you have. Thanks
Bryan (Pages Paradise)

Thanks for getting back to me. Let me know about the contract…We’d be looking for an opener (for New Years Eve), as it stands now we have The Wailers and are in the process of booking another major name (nothing definite yet) and we can include Hit N Run on the list if you are at all interested. Let me know and we can work out details.
Carolyn (Hardrock Café)

Mark! Wow, we are still elated from the incredible experience we had for our Rehearsal Party! I am not exaggerating when I say that it truly was the happiest time of our lives. You and the band brought such incredible joy and immeasurable spirit to the night! You put on awesome show! wow, i can't express the incredible joy, emotions, memories and pride we had when you performed on stage and added Brett to participate in the show!!! His family and friends responded as if the Beatles just arrived in America for the first time...tee hee. These are what incredible memories are made of! Words truly can't express how grateful we are to you! Thank you!
Linda and Brett Fitzpatrick

We have heard about New Years and would like to know if you would perform at Rane. We also want to know about 2012 dates, if possible.
Matt (Rane)

Hi Mark, I just tried calling you and left a message on your phone…I was wondering if you guys have a venue for New Year’s Eve. I saw Club Paradise was closed and I wasn’t sure if they moved you to a new location for the show or how that was going to work. Let me know. Hard Rock has a huge outdoor Guitar Drop every year and this year we have The Wailers as our headliner…If you guys are looking for a venue, we may be able to accommodate Hit N Run as a possible opener…Talk to you soon.
Carolyn (Hardrock Café)

Mark, please call me. Nightlife would like to do something to honor the longtime winners like yourself and Hit n Run for a Lifetime Achievement award. Others like, Boys of Summer and Terry B will also be honored.
Dave K (Nightlife)

Hi Pat, Question for you...not work related! Can you give me contact info for who I can contact about booking Hit & Run. Remember last year you performed at the Alden Winterfest? They are interested in doing it again this February 4, 2012. Thanks. Have a Great Day :o)
Pam R

Cant thank you guys enough. Everything (at my wedding) was perfect. The feedback has been great from everyone and keep getting “Best Wedding we’ve been to.” Thanks again, you guys put on a great show.
Jon and Andrea Mazurczak

I want to make sure you received the paperwork for New Years at the Yellow Jaguar and everything is set.
Jim (Yellow Jaguar)

Hi Mark - Looking at Aug 3 and 4 but if you have open Fri and Sat before (like in July), we might consider doing sooner if it works for you. I know July is pretty busy for you but just in case. Thanks for checking and happy holidays!
Mark R

Hello, my name is Mike and I am in charge of booking bands at the Wildwood Grill and Saloon in Salamanca NY. Just curious how much you charge and just some general information. I look forward to hearing back from you. Thank you.
Mike F

Hi there- Just wondering if you have rescheduled NEw Year's Eve yet, since Club Paradise is now closed? (just saw it in Ch 2 news). Thanks,
Pat D

Hello- How much do you charge for weddings? It will be at Casino October 6th, 2012. Please let me know. Thank you. Best Regards,
Victoria

Hi I am the Executive Vice President of the Center and a huuugggeee fan of Hit ‘N’ Run. The organization provides retreats for cancer survivors and those currently in treatment. If you or anyone in the band have been touched by breast cancer, you know how important it is for survivors to have an outlet. We have an annual fundraiser but feel we need to raise more monies to provide our services more frequently. We are currently planning our fundraising schedule for 2012/2013, and are interest in booking the band for one of our events. Could you please send us an up to date list of available dates and cost. We would be looking to hire you for an entire evening. Sincerely,
Corey S

Ok so I'm at rapid theatre right now seeing David cook. So i better get my picture with ya this time. And if u can help me out would love one with Brett .:). Take care and see you soon!!
~Kelly.EMT~

Danny….your solo in Don’t tell me you love me is incredible and better than the actual.
Tim

Hi Mark, The Yellow Jaguar brings back memories (from MANY years ago lol). PLEASE keep me informed as to where HIT N RUN will be performing on New Year's Eve. The whole gang (Kris & I, Jennifer & Britt, and Katie & Paul), are looking forward to this night. Keep in touch,
Jay Panzarella

Mark, I see you have a listing at Club Paradise for New Years Eve. We were thinking of going after the Sabres game but I look on their website and it says they are closed? Will they be open or closed?
Lars

Hi, Just wondering where you are playing on New Year's Eve. I hear Club Paradise is closed. Thanks,
Tammy B

Tonights News channel 23 / 4 just said McKinley is closing. Looks like were screwed again this year to see ya at a reasonable price
OB

Mark call me with any open Fridays you have for Pages Paradise Island.
Bryan Page

I'll put the pic up on Facebook. :) Thanks Mark!! You're the best!!
Lisa

They are just jealous. Hit and Run is like our own personal Disney World. I know what you mean though. I am just honored knowing you. You have wonderful charm and personality.
Mary

I will be going to Jack Devines first, but will be making my way to the Aud to see Hit n Run at some point after. Hey b 4 i 4get again...Im going 2 Jack Devines Friday night w my gf Linda..I was gonna drop the bands name if that was ok?
Michelle

CP has entered the court process and have no idea when or what to expect. I will be running the yellow jaguar and you can send the contract over. We still have a hotel attached. We will have the toast and I am working on a buffet and have a meeting there tomorrow and will find out room rates. Shooting for low cost cover $5-$6.
Mike Muroff

PuHleeasssse! Mr. Valentino, ever so humble. Scraps, thats all thats left when Valentinos done! Just like Thanksgiving leftovers! Nothing left but the bones and the fat !!

Remember what I told you life is way to short. Enjoy it and make the most of it. You have a great business sense and you are so intelligent, you have achieved and accomplished so much. Sometimes I think you need someone to remind you just who you are. Definition of Mark Valentino – adj.amazing, sincere, big heart, giving, caring and kind
Cheryl

Any decision on New Years....everyone is asking me what is going on and if they should make other plans.
Jennifer

You definitely doing the Yellow Jaguar then? Mike Paoella was asking me too.
Steve Landahl

Big thing about hotel closing on WIVB. Do you know whats up for new years?
Chris

Hey Joe, I saw Hit and Run “LITE” stayed about 3 songs then I came to see you guys, who are the real deal. Keep up the great work.
Jim

Sorry stuck in the mountains in PA with no reception. Spoke with Jay and it looks good. We can wrap up new years eve on Wed.
Jim Mangano

Awesome! Not that you don't already know it...but... you guys are AMAZING, both personally and professionally. And you are 100% correct in saying it's like a big happy family, that's because you treat everyone that comes out to see HNR like they are family. And they all love you guys for that!
Kathy

MARK: JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU MUCH FOR HELPING US OUT WITH THIS PROJECT, I HAVE WAITED YRS TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS. WOULD IT BE WISE FOR US TO BOOK THE TRULF NOW SOMETIME IN MID JUNE, THAT WILL GIVE US A LITTLE MORE INCENTIVE. I BELEAVE THAT YOU HAVE THE MIND FOR PR WORKING,IF YOU FEEL THAT IT IS TO EARLY YET THAT'S OK I KNOW THAT ANYONE NEEDS TO BOOK THAT ROOM EARLY. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. BE CAREFUL GOOM-BA
PAULIE BATTAGLIA

So where are you headed Sat. nite? What bands do u like to see?
Paula

I still get asked and kidded in the gym about my Hit n Run tattoo.
Melissa

With Club Paradise closed for good, do you have a back-up plan for New Years Eve? Either Pages Paradise Island or Yellow Jaguar is a good choice. Nothing like having to scramble last minute with no notice.
Roger

This should be your next bumper sticker tag line: Hit n Run - often IMITATED, but never DUPLICATED.

Lisa

Guy, Now that Club Paradise is closed, has HIT N RUN rescheduled for another venue? I don't have my daughters on New Years eve (this year) and was really looking forward to celebrating with my friends in the band.
Jay P

Our dates for next year are attached. Our either of these dates open?? I believe you have done our show in the past and are aware of our location. Your answer would be greatly appreciated, thank you for your time,
Glenn C

Mark, If you get a chance, can you draw up the contract for our event "Tropical Dreamin" April 28th, 2012? I would like to start the band at 8:00 PM. Have a great Thanksgiving!
John B

Ok Mark, I see that the dates I'm asking for are taken. Or are they ? Please let know if one of them are open or not and the price? Before Nov 30 please. Thanks
Mike B

Jim B

Thanks Mark. I texted Phil for the 2/24 date (for our fundraiser.)
Kevin P

I miss being a groupie to your band!! I moved to the fingerlakes and rarely visit the Buffalo area anymore. Lisa and I always had a great time listening to your music, going on stage and taking over and especially dancing! I hope you remember us! We saw you for 2 yrs straight. Always a great time Mark!!
Christina A

Mark, u gotta get more stuff on your page and some pictures c u soon

Joann B

Michael S

Finally read through the profile, very good write up! ReMARKable achievements.
Jim C

Kinda fun to sit on a very vibrating stage!!! Can't believe I said that. When is your next game? But really...it was safer there. I used to love crowds. After accident, not so much
Julie

I loved the new songs. Always good to change it up once in awhile.
Ashley

Oh yeah , I will see you Wednesday at macaroons so I'm expecting a hug and a kiss on the cheek! Lol. Looking forward to seeing you guys again and bringing some friends along as well. Fun night!!
~Kelly.EMT~

MARK --- WE REALLY REALLY WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE MOST WONDERFUL EVENING. WE KNOW YOU WENT OUT OF YOUR WAY AND WE WON'T FORGET IT. BRETT & LINDA WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DO WHAT THEY DID WITH ANYONE ELSE BUT YOU. WE WILL TALK SOON. GIVE OUR THANKS TO EVERYONE IN THE BAND, AND PLEASE WISH THEM WELL. HAVE THE BEST THANKSGIVING --- AND AGAIN WE'LL BE TALKING. LOVE YOU GUYS.
FRED & JOANN

Hi Mark, Wanted to mention that I finally got to hear the song you did with Wendi Lynn, and it does have a nice hook to it. I like it. Also wanted to tell you that if you ever need a fill-in in the interim, I am confident at this point I could do you justice. I really love the new tune, "All you did was save my life". What a fun tune to play! Along with all the others. Have a nice Thanksgiving ,and good luck at your gigs this week.
Joel

That rehearsal party was the best party we have ever been to, thanks to you and your band.
Corine

Hi.... it was good to see you too. julie and I had a great time. We usually go to Macaroons Thanksgiving Eve earlier so we dont get to see you guys. Have a nice Thanksgiving!
Paula

You need to play somewhere. No one wants to drive on New Years. I do like the fact that it is closer to home but you have to do what you think is best. I do think next year you should look into booking somewhere else. When you decide what you are doing let me know....I have 2 rooms at Club Paradise I have to cancel and will need to book other rooms or start planning my party! Hope you have a good turkey day!!
Jennifer

Hi mark , can u send me the name and number I was suppose to call for tickets.. I need to get two of them and I can't find where I put the number.

Good afternoon. I e-mailed you a few days ago regarding possibly booking Hit n Run for a wedding on Saturday, November 3rd, 2012. The wedding will take place at a Valley Resort. Please let me know if you are available and if so what you will need for a deposit and a possible date to get together and go over the details. Please contact me via e-mail. Thank you in advance.

Hey Mark! Thanks for letting me know. Man, I'm bummed you guy's aren't available. Your shows are great and you were also recommended from Pearl St for a wedding you did a couple months back....thanks again for the reply and I live in DC, but when we're back in town, we'd love to come see you guys. Do you happen to have any other cover bands that you'd recommend for a wedding? Have you ever seen Black Widow, Michael Bly band or Wide Right?

John R

We had a great time (at the Queen of Heaven Dance)! You guys sounded great, as usual. As much as we love your usual play list, we were quite impressed with how good you guys were with the music choice you played that night. We really liked being up on the balcony, so we can look down at everything. We definitely went all out with our own drinks and food, but we had so much fun with that, LOL. The night did start out early, which was great. However, we did not get in until 2:00 (so much for early). Thanks goodness for the time change, because the same group of us went the Bills game and tailgated. It was quite the fun packed weekend:). Thanks for the invite!! Hope you had a Happy Birthday!!
Colette

Happy Birthday. Had a great time (at the recent show) - your band was everything billed to be. Nice job! hope to see you again soon.

Hi Mark, Thought I'd send you a note to congratulate you and the band on landing the Bret Micheals show-opener slot in December. I'm sure it's exciting! Just thought I would let you know that the only 2 dates we are off in November have you playing weddings. But in December it looks like I can try to catch you at the following shows: Dec. 2nd @ The Aud, Dec 9th @ Macaroons, Dec 16th @ Rhinos, Dec 30th @ Macaroons. Take care and keep rocking!

I need to send out another quick email if that has changed to see if these will work. Let me know for sure if the weekend before is out. Once I email them, I will know within 1-2 days for sure.

My fiancée and I are getting married on June 30th 2012. Looking for a band. Heard you at Rhinos in West Seneca. Do you do wedding venues and if so how much do you charge?

Mark, The price of Halloween has been raised to $10 this year with all door money being donated to Buffalo Charities. We are offsetting this price increase by lowering our bottled beer price top $2.00 and our well drink price to $2.00 also. With the money saved on the lower drink prices after the second drink they will be even and also continue to save on the drinks for the rest of the night. Please let everyone know about the $2.00 Drink and Bottled Beer special. I have also attached a poster for your website. I have also included the poster for New Years Eve.

Mark, We were looking for August 25th and we will have another 75th celebration the 3rd or 4th week in October. Please let me know what your schedule looks like. Thank you,
Mike Harris

Mark, You got any extra tickets to Friday night's Halloween party? Thanks!!
Lisa

Looking into booking a band for a wedding June 2, 2012. I'm wondering about your availability and pricing for 4-5 hours. Please let me know. Thank you.
Jordan M

Mark, can you find us at least two dates for Hit n Run for 2012 between Jan and May?
Dave Buffamonte (Cheers)

Mark, please update your website that the Fri Oct 28th show at Bellevue fire hall is totally sold out (three weeks in advance.) Thanks for your help.
Brian

Hi Mark, can you let your friends know about the Queen of Heaven party on Sat Nov 5th. This has sold out in the past and we get a lot of last minute Hit and Run fans show up at the door and have to be turned away. If they want to save a few dollars or reserve a table, so they have guaranteed seating for them and their friends, have them call me at 675-2287.
Terry

Hi Mark: Well we had our meeting about the event with many who know you. Shaun, Ziggy, Tony Siresi and a few others. They felt we should keep the same weekend. I'll be in touch next week. Hope the dates are still available. Let me know. Talk to you soon.
Nancy

I will be helping Paul and Buffalo Charities by selling tix to your Club Paradise Sat 10/29 Halloween event! It will be great time with Hit N Run and Michael Bly. Only $10 gets you in the door and only $2 well drinks and beer! Let me know if you need tix!
Kathy K

Hi Mark, It's been 2 wks since our last message. So is it yes or no. Please respond asap. Thank you in advance,
Norma

Thanks, Mark. I’m to hear it (Ellicottville show) went well from your end. I heard good things too. Would you like to do it next year? We’ll put one less band in the line-up so you can play more.
D

I will not book or do anything until I hear from Hit n Run first.
Jackie

I am looking at opening up the Yellow Jaguar and wanted to make sure that you keep a few dates open for us at the new club.
Jim

Tell Jerry Landahl to pick a day and lets get the whole crew out.
Ken

Queen of heaven party was a lot of fun last year...I rally up some of the crew and give Terry a call. We will also see you at Bellevue firehall for Halloween
Mark Mahoney

Hi! are you playing tonight at Rhinos?
Susan W

As a representative of the WNY Local Music Awards 2011, I'd like to let you know that Hit N Run has won a certificate(s) this year. We are giving away certificates for the top 3 in votes for each category, along with 'judges picks' from a few organizations in town.
Greg B

Hey Mark, GREAT seeing you Friday night! We are going to hold the ticket price for the Halloween party to $10. We have decided to keep it affordable for the night out. Drinks have been discounted to $2 each for the night and a portion of the profit goes to a Buffalo Charity. Let me know if you have any questions and we will see you again this weekend! –
Paul R

I am close to getting a new big club and wanted to talk about your schedule and booking Hit n Run.
Sully

(Hit and Run is) great can be an understatement. Ever since I went to Macaroons for the first time with Tony Stefano (Gator Drummer) watching another local band, and I told him this band is pretty good. And he said, this is nothing wait till you see Hit N Run play next week. I will never forget my answer to him "Hit And Who? Now I have been following your band ever since (for the last few years) and hardly ever miss a show. Thanks again,
James

We already have our tickets (for the Queen of Heaven Party on Nov 5th)! We’ll see you on the 29th and at your party! Can’t wait!
Peg

Shelly

Are you playing anywhere tonight?
Bill Starkweather

Next time Bon Jovi or Brett Michaels is in town, I want you to get me to meet them so I can get my picture taken with them.
Alexandra

Hi Hit and Run. You stole the show at Ellicottville. You had BY FAR the biggest crowd and the best response of any of the bands. I wish that they had you play the whole night. My friends and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Next year don’t drive home, stay the weekend.
Kim

Hi Mark, how is it going? Are you still playing at Macs this week?
Todd

Hi,Mark Bach atcha,man-- I understand that my brother Eddie has been in contact recently,and wants to come out to check out the band soon. I told him to let me know so I can 'tag along'. Always a fun time even tho it's a bit of a drive --going back to Clarence Center was a real trip for me. first time I've been in the town for many a year! You guys made it a treat! Take care & hope to see the band again a.s.a.p. Rock on,
Terry

Got our table already! Q of H (party on Nov 5th) might be the best party of the year, rivaled only by the Q of H beer tent
Mark T

It was great seeing u too bad it was a short visit. We have to do lunch sometime-and talk about who i can talk to at ur work about their business accounts!! :) lunch soon?
Doreen (Tony Romes)

Last show I saw at Macs just completed 2 full years of following HNR. Ironically my first show was the first show HNR did after they became members into the HOF. The season was capped with the much-anticipated "Bill" finally going up on stage.
Jim

I just noticed that you took off for Macaroons this week. My ex boss was going with his wife to celebrate their birthday. Now I will have to go somewhere else.
Steve

So I get this text from my daughter telling me this is a song that she would love your band to sing. Moves like jagger by Maroon 5
Michelle

Mark, FYI.....They just announced HNR playing at Rhinos tonight on 97 Rock Club-Calender. 8:00 am Friday
Tim

Mark any decisions on whether or not you could play for us. That is July 27, or 28th.
Elana M

Hi Mark, Thank you so much for doing this for us. I was able to do the switch with Diva Show-so were good for Friday for Hit and Run and Diva Show for Saturday. TY!! Please send the contract for your deposit. Blessed be to God and your band.
Norma S

Mark, Here is the contract for 2012. Of course the same arrangements as 2011. You know the drill.
Becky

Mark, We were looking for August 25th and we will have another 75th celebration the 3rd or 4th week in October. Please let me know what your schedule looks like. Thank you,
Mike

Looking into booking a band for a wedding June 2, 2012. I'm wondering about your availability and pricing for 4-5 hours. Please let me know. Thank you.
Jordan M

Hi Mark, We still need to figure out the exact time. We open at noon and the parade ends around 3pm. My guess would be 1 or 2pm. Also – Daniel Valentine (your cousin) wanted to let you know that he is one of the owners. He says hi.
Sean

Mark: Our meeting is this Wed. evening. We did meet with someone to start the brainstorming idea and was wondering what weekend dates in July (I know Queen of Heaven- around the 10 of July weekend and St. Marthas - last weekend July are taken) and August are definitely out. We may be open to dates if we don't have the full lawn fete idea. I'd like to have the dates available going into the meeting. Thanks,
Nancy

Hi Mark, excellent job at our recent function. I received so many compliments on the band, how could I not have you back? Can you please reserve next year for us?
Rich

If you are going later in the day I would try picking up rte. 240 in Orchard Park and stay on that right until the end.( It runs parallel to the 219.) It will end at Rte. 242. Turn right on 242 and that will bring you right into Ellicottville. Give yourself alot of extra time because it is really crazy down there this weekend. Good luck. See you there.
Joel

U guys get the crowd going :) and It s always nice 2 c u! and I loved the shirt u had on and the pic better b a good pic u put up :)
Michelle

Hi Mark, Thanks for the info...it's nice to know that if something unforseen happens, you would consider me! And I will tell Terry hi for you, also. Take care, & thanks again. PS Would you be able to send me your song list? That way, I'd have a better grip on what tunes I already know and/or would have to learn, if I should get a call from you someday-and in what key you do them, if it's not too much hassle.....thanks!
Eddie K

Hi Mark, We are finally catching up with all of our vendors and still need a contract from you for Nov 18th, at the Century Grill Ballroom. If you email it, we can print it out and send it back with the deposit. Thanks so much!
