Tesla Booking Agency Profile

Book Tesla for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
Tesla is an American hard rock band originating from Sacramento, California. The band formed in 1984 as City Kidd and was renamed to Tesla during the recording of their first album on the advice of their manager. According to the Love Song Songfacts, their name comes from Nikola Tesla, the legendary scientist and inventor who quite possibly is single-handedly responsible for the “mad scientist” trope. Originally, the group included Jeff Keith (vocals), Frank Hannon (guitar), Tommy Skeoch (guitar), Brian Wheat (bass) and Troy Luccketta (drums). In 2006 Skeoch was replaced by Dave Rude, who is now an official member of the band.
Tesla’s music fit well with the blasting sound of the 80s glam bands but was more bluesy and lyrics dealt with other themes than just the usual, girls, alcohol and violence. But what set them even more apart from their contemporaries was their T-shirt and jeans image which was not characteristic of leather pants and flashy makeup that other bands were sporting at the time. The band's first two records were created with a typical 1980's glam metal style, but Mechanical Resonance and The Great Radio Controversy also had blues and hard rock themes. With Psychotic Supper, the band made a slight transition to a more moody and acoustic feel while maintaining their trademark pop-metal sound. .

Frequently Asked Questions about booking Tesla to perform.

Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like Tesla in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking Tesla or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
Tesla'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 Tesla for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book Tesla, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing Tesla. 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 Tesla booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book Tesla for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final Tesla 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 Tesla charge for an event. An example fee to book Tesla is in the starting range of $40,000-$74,999. 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 Tesla agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The Tesla 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 Tesla for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Tesla agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Tesla, 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 Tesla 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 Tesla, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
