"RED STAR REGGAE"

"This serves as a letter of reference for Richard Cranium Productions. It is my honor to recommend Richard Cranium. I have known him since April 2007 during the production of Red Star Reggae at The Brat Stop in Kenosha. Richard was added to the show because of his ability to cover Brad Nowell and his ability to promote the event and himself. He has demonstrated outstanding talents in both marketing/promotion as well as entertainment spheres. He has captured the minds and hearts of reggae fans through his showmanship, stage presence and overall delivery. Revealing of his entertainment abilities, Richard immediately affected the audience as they flocked the stage as soon as he strummed his guitar. He was able to greatly increase vibe, audience participation, and transform the venue to major concert frenzy. Consequently the management and staff convinced the owners to make this an annual event. His commitment to promoting the event, the venue and himself was reflected in the number of attendees requesting information about his stage time and length of his performance. I am deeply impressed by Richard and recommend him unhesitatingly. I am confident that, if selected as a performer, he would provide the same high level of service and commitment as he did for Red Star Reggae. Do not hesitate to contact me with questions or concerns at 262 620 1175."

"CHICAGO PEACE FEST"

Thanks for making this the best Fest EVER!

You are a Peace Fest HERO.

You helped me out so many times in so many ways I can't count.

I am in hope that we are going to become friends and actually hang. There are many miles down this long road and with a guy like you around it is that much smoother.

We have a lot of work to do and I'm confident that you are a key figure in the master plan.

Oh, I notice your great skill in musicianship, but I also see your eye for talent and your production skills.

Lets do a Kenosha/Wisc Peace Fest next year. I'm in if you are a go.

Thanks to your band for doing it. I just loved it and your crowd did too. Thanks for bring Mom and the crew too, they were surprisingly well behaved for cheese heads, :)
