Villages Booking Agency Profile

Book Villages for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
Villages is a folk group from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, that consists of members Matt Ellis, Travis Ellis, Jon Pearo, and Archie Rankin. The group originally formed the group Mardeen, a pop-rock band that was inspired by groups such as The Super Friendz, Thrush Hermit and Sloan. They began to grow local fame through Mardeen but after having a singalong with family in Cape Breton, the band then knew they had to perform music that sounded more like their hometown, which led them to form Villages. After reforming as Villages, the group released their debut song “Hymn After Hymn,” which led to them releasing their debut EP of the same name, which was produced by Joel Plaskett. Since then, Villages have gone on to release their self-titled debut album, which was produced by Thomas Stajcer. Some of the songs off of the debut album include “Awakening of Spring,” “Maggie of the Cove,” “Sarah’s Whistling Tune,” and “At Your Door.”.

Frequently Asked Questions about booking Villages to perform.

Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like Villages in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking Villages or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
Villages's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking Villages for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book Villages, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing Villages. After we consult with them, we will provide a personal and accurate quote that includes: final costs, availability, and actual interest in being hired for your specific event or party.
CTI can give you the accurate Villages booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book Villages for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final Villages booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will Villages charge for an event. An example fee to book Villages is in the starting range of $7,500-$14,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the Villages agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The Villages manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book Villages for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Villages agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Villages, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the Villages booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for Villages, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
