Hello Mark, You might remember our Group. I met you in the parking lot implored you to use instagram, the photo sharing app, and you pulled my friend Gary up on stage to play the stand up bass/pool cue during Pour Some Sugar on Me – and there are a number of other people who were with us that night, all of us had the time of our lives. I'd really like to get 8 tshirts 2 medium / 5 large and one xxl if I could so that I could give them out as Holiday Presents. It was a fantastic night, and I'd like to commemorate it for my friends. Thanks,
Frank

Looking forward to working together again.
Ross C

Hi Mark -Yes! We actually met at Dave & Busters Sat at Michael's party, I am David's wife. I didn't think it was the time to mention it. I will reach out to Phil today. We are big fans of Hit and Run, and have had a ball at Mahoneys party the last few years with Karen & Ron Nero. Thanks very much. (Shay had a great time at the birthday party, thanks for including her!)

Please let me know if your available. I can be reached at the following numbers or you can just e-mail me. Anyway looking forward to hearing from you so we can work out the details. Take care
Maria G

Hit n Run did a great job for us in 2011, We wanted to get you back next year. We were disappointed that last year you could not play due to a conflict in your schedule. We want to confirm you early this year.
Ernie (Rock n Blues)

Mark - Thank you for the note. We appreciate Hit n Run and would like to invite you back for the Annunciation Picnic on Friday August 16, 2013 from 7-11pm. One very important concern…Please send over the contract and please give me some assurance on the sound level. Thanks.

Hello Mark, I would like to set dates for after the 1st of the year, We are doing live music most Fridays, mostly local with some nationals. I have several radio contracts in place for the next 6 months, Your band would get tagged in all stations we use, (WYRK, 97 Rock, Kiss 98.5) ads start running this week. I would like to put your band Hit and Run in every six weeks or so. We have a lot of mutual friends that are looking forward to seeing you play Fusion. Please give give me a call to set these dates. I look forward to working with you. Thanks,
Matt (Fusion)

I really appreciate your letter. I have followed you for a long time. I actually had worked for years to get you lined up for the Niagara County Fair. I had worked on that Fair for 8 years to slowly bring it up, get it better organized, my own new artwork for posters, bringing in better & better entertainment in an affordable way as we improved each year, get them to move tents to open up the stage front. I worked with my own bands & other promoters bands, our area bike organizations, contests of everything musical. We all had a good relationship. Well, needless to say, Ken & I have been YOUR FANS!! We felt we almost got to know you!!! I have certainly followed you for years!!
Sandra

Hi Mark, We thank you for making our evening entertainment the best yet! Hit n Run put on a great show and concert. Keep Smiling,
Sid J

Mark, To the man that sings STYX, better than anybody in America. I will be coming to your show at the Yellow Jaguar this weekend. I can't wait to see my favorite band of all time. If possible, Would you play a Styx song for me. I look forward to seeing you and your band. I am the crazy one that would come up to you many years ago and sing ( I'M SAILING AWAY) I hope you are doing well.
Mark D from Las Vegas.

Mark, The planning for the 2013 event is just starting, so I really don’t know much yet. This is actually my work email. My personal email is attached.
Aaron

The Nightlife Awards want ELI to play at it. Let’s get together to see what we want to perform at the awards and what shows to book coming up.
Tom

Hi Mark, Thank you for the very kind email and words. We to certainly enjoy working with you and everyone from the band it is reassuring to know the level of professionalism from you along with the dependability with our event. Yes I have my next years date set for Sept 14, 2013. Can you check on your availability for that date. Same time and place and let me know if I can plan on Hit n Run Thanks
Diane

I would like you guys Friday, 21st for the x-mas party. Thanks
Matty

Hey Mark this is Nick, CJ and I are looking at booking you guys for Saturday May 25th 2013 for the twins bday party. My idea is having you guys booked for Mickey Rats and us having a party there. I'm trying to get Mickey rats to pay for you guys to play the main room and we would just have the party from 8-11 and have you guys start at 10. You guys could all come early and eat and drink before the show. Let me know if this is possible with you guys and I have emailed Mickey rats. We are trying to get a couple buses to and from lancaster so it will be a good crowd. (50-80 people)
thanks let me know,
Nick S

Mike from Jolly Boys here. Please call me about our show for next year, 2013.
Mike P

Mark , It is friday june 14th. I hope it is available. I have my party at the Morton club in Jamestown. It is the jamestown fire departments hall. We get a beer truck with 30 kegs and get around 1000-1200 people.
randy

I’m leaving town for ten days so I may not get back to you right away after you check availability. I would really like to put the Fire Hall on hold for a couple months so I can recoup. But save the dates till we get serious in January and decide. Thanks
Tim.

Hi, We are looking to book a Beer Blast at Macaroons sometime in Jan/Feb even Mar of 2013 to benefit a Lancaster Baseball Team going to Cooperstown. Is your schedule available for the first part of 2013 as of yet? We were trying to coordinate with a night you would be playing. Thanks so much.
Lisa C

Hey Mark, Hope you are doing well. I am putting together an event for our clients that we are going to make a charity event for Roswell or something like that. I thought if I wanted to draw a crowd and everyone have fun I better book Hit N Run. I am looking to do it at the Asbury Hall (341 Delaware Avenue, Buffalo, NY 14202) in July 2013. I know you guys book up fast so I wanted to see if you were available to play before I went forward with the plans. I'm looking at Friday July 12, 2013Also, let me know pricing so I can run it by my bosses. I'm thinking it will probably start at like 7pm-11pm or something like that. Thanks a lot!!! –
Sue R

Hey Hit and Run….Oh Baby You! You got what I need.
Tracey

Hey Mark!! Anyway you can get me two tickets to Bellevue for Linda and Jim? They didn't realize it was going to sell out so fast....Me either! Thanks!!
Lisa

Hi Mark, We have a private party booked at Hard Rock on December 15th and Hard Rock would like to a band on stage for them…first of all is Hit N Run available? Second what would you charge for an 8-midnight performance? Let me know ASAP. Thanks,

Elaine

Jim

Jessie ;))))

Hello, We are celebrating its 50th anniversary with a gala on Friday, April 26 at the Convention center. Several of our committee members suggested Hit N Run as possible entertainment for the evening. Would the band be available that evening? The event starts at 6pm and the band would probably come on around 7pm. The evening would end no later than 10pm. Could you give me an idea of what the cost would be to have Hit N Run perform? I can be reached at this e-mail address or the phone number below. Thank you in advance,
Collin G

Joe looked cute without his hat. He should take that off more often.
Karen

Hello, I am a board member for the Youth Foundation. Myself and several other board members have heard your band play at various places around town. We are interested in booking your band to play a concert/fundraiser at our building sometime during the Spring/Summer of 2013. Due to the fact that we have a youth program located in our building Monday-Friday until 6pm, we would need to have the event on a Saturday night. We would want the event to have free admission but then drinks would be available for purchase. Could you send me more information about what you charge for a booking, if you're scheduling dates for next summer, and any other pertinent information about what you require for a booking/from a venue?
Amanda B

Hey any chance you can get us tickets into the sold out show at Bellevue show in two weeks?
Bill and Adina

Hmmmm, I was at the Jim's Steakout in West Seneca with my son and this hot red corvette pulled in and parked...Whoa!!! Sweet ride Mr. Valentino!!! I was gonna come in and say hi, however, my son was complaining as he was supposed to be somewhere already!!!!
Kelly B

Michelle

Please play Eye of the Tiger for me.
Nancy

Hello, I have seen your band twice and have had a great time both times, as have my friends. I am looking to purchase a variety of Mens T Shirts sizes M-XXL. I can't find anything on the website. Do you sell T-shirts, or any other merchandise. Thanks,
Frank W

Jessica

Thanks alot Mark I'll let you know what they say and if not we will probably book it closer to home. Lancaster Moose Lodge might be the back up plan. Thank You,
Nick S

mark, oct 27 is going to be a Halloween costume party as well. thanks,
dave

Was that Manfred Mann’s blinded by the light, Pat was playing. Awesome song. You should learn it.
Jerry

I agree. If we had more space I am sure we could break a record, but we max out around 280, before people get cranky over it being too crowded. If your friends have money ready, I can get the tickets to them ahead of time. Let me know.
Brian G

Yay!!! Im soo glad Bellevue is sold out and cant wait!! Miss hearing HNR! Hope all well :)
Shelly

Me and my girlfriends want to know….Which of the band members are single?
Lisa

Hi Mark In addition to our current event, I would like to book you for another Lawn Fete. The Lawn Fete is the weekend of June 21st. We would like to book you for Saturday evening, June 22. If you are not available Saturday we could do Friday night instead. If you are available please let me know and we can work out the details. We would probable want you from around 7:00 to 11:00.
Maria G

Thanks, I guess bottom line even though you did not know, as the song goes, ' you (your band) were always on my mind' lol. Although you never knew it. Husband & I & our Fair Chairperson just wanted your band at the Fair & we worked hard to get the okay. I have followed your band for many years & really you are the best. Just saying. I know a lot of bands, I managed a lot of bands while I was booking our Rock It Party Band, and held a lot of Battle of the Bands, Lead Vocals Contests, Bike Shows, Walkway to the Falls with vendors & 7 day a week music for 3 years, & worked with a lot of other agents for their bands, etc etc. We believe your band is the best in the area.
Sandra

Mark: I’m checking on your schedule for Saturday June 29th 2013. I’m co-chair of Day in the Park and we are contemplating some changes that would ramp up attendance at this event. Thanks,
Tim P

Hi mark, this is kim! As u know dave and i are getting married. The date is July 19th 2014. We are not sure if want a band or a dj. We were wondering how much u would charge us? I know its 18teen months away, but it will be here before we know it. We are going to be booking things after the first of the year. Because if we dont we might not get what we want.
Kim

Mark, we are sold out (for the Hit n Run Halloween show at Bellevue Fire Hall on Fri Oct 26). Looking forward to another great party!
Brian G

Terry and Judy Queen of Heaven Fall Dance

The date is December 15 and we would need the band between 8 PM and Midnight. This is a private event, Holiday party. You would be the only band performing and it is indoors. We’d like to enhance their event by putting a band on stage for the evening portion. Let me know.
Carolyn (Hard Rock Café)

Hit n Run, Your show (at Ellicottville Brewing Co’s Fall Fest) was terrific. Had a great time. Because of the construction we had some parking issues. We plan to have an easier system for loading unloading next year. The time slot I thought was perfect. We would like to have you return next year. Sat. Oct 12th 2013. Hopefully the weather will cooperate like 2011. Have great end of year.
Peter K (EBC)

Any word on Jan/Feb dates for the Yellow Jaguar. We want to lock in Hit n Run dates before booking the other bands.
Dave B

Ppl are still asking for HNR tix!!!
Maria

I wanted to see if we can book Hit n Run for a Christmas party show in Dec and also for next year 2013 for our club (formerly Rane). Give me a call.
Matt

Macs was fun. u never took a freaking break. we were holding on to say goodbye but couldn’t wait any longer. those shots were yummy. what was it?
Jen P

Mark,Would you be interested in trying a date at a new club? If so, they would be willing to do a cover charge to make something work. What do you think the price point would be?
Dave E

hey mark...how did u like playing this year (Octoberfest) compared to last year? Big difference....but still so much fun. Did u guys end up staying there? We r thinking about making reservations now for next year at the hotel. U guys sounded great...
Paula

Hey, Mr Buffalo. You are The Best! Doing it Hit n Run style.
Rick

Dave

Tell Guy…Ohhh-Oh–Oh–Oh-Oh-OHHHHHH…from his friends.
Sue

BTW – Hard Rock is looking to fill some of our off night with live music. We are offering the venue and bands only need to cover the sound tech. We were thinking Eli might be a good draw. Let me know if you guys would be interested. If so we can work out a date. I was going to reach out to Phil, but I know he doesn’t usually like to take care of the business end. We can seat about 140 people, or we can fit 500 people standing room only. We are open an event or specialty show.
Carolyn

We love you guys….and girl.
Erica

Mark, OK…so while you are “considering” being my friend on facebook….would you consider something else? I was going to get my son one of Hit N Run’s shirt (the last one you gave him, looks a bit worn out already) I thought it would kind of cool if you could sign it as well….do you have any new shirts for next year yet?
Let me know…just thought it would be a nice gift for Christmas for him..
Diane

That dude you have on keys compliments your voice with his harmonies so well.
Tom

It sounded great.
Michelle

Just thought I'd share my friend's enthusiasm about the ELI show last night. He, Toni and I (and many others) all grew up spending our preteen/teen weekends at Java Lake, listening to our parents' music.. And loved it!!! So many memories made there. ELI brings them all back. Maybe next time the whole crew will join us. Fun
Brenda

Once my band (HNR) got going I didn't feel the cold anymore :) it was a perfect night for me despite the (cold outdoor) weather..thank you for a great show as always..see you real soon <3
Miranda

Great job and show VALENTINO!
Erin

I want to see HNR this weekend. Hoping to make it out. I miss everyone.
Jessica

I just wanted to let you know that I think your drummer is amazing.
Bambi

ELI...I will be working on the photos from last night soon. Wanted to thank you all for the shout out and More Importantly on the performance! Fantastic Night! Just when I think you hit your level...Last night you all took it to a new HIgh! (Good Luck Maintaining that standard you set for yourselfs last night) Then again Maybe there is a higher plain you all will hit. It was a 5 star performance!!!! If you guys keep taking this up a notch, I will have to add a 6th star
Dan Ruggiero

Hello Mark, thanks for the nice pics! It was a great night with you and the band! I also have many pictures from this night, but too big for an email. I also have sent a friend request on facebook to you! (My Nickname: Matt Buggy) It was nice to meet you and your band! I was hoping you had the name of the girl in one of the pics with me, so I can contact her on facebook. Kind regards from Germany
Matthias B

Danny looked like he was not feeling any pain the other night. It was funny to watch at Macs.
Sal

When Ditto falls so short. I am Honored to be held in this regard and Allowed to document! Believe me tom/ all the total of the parts is much greater than the sum. I am damm glad to offer my services for truly a fantastic collection of Real artist! Something like this comes along ONCE in a lifetime and I get a LIFETIME of great shows and memories|
Dan

Hi Mark, Thanks for the pictures! It was really nice to watch your show that night. My friends and up from the week from Brazil had a great time at your Hit and Run show.
Eduardo

Had a great time. You are the king! Thanks also to you and Guy for getting my friend his guitar and saving him so much. In Russia Strats cost double and those are for Korean made ones. He now has a US made one for about half the $1600 it would have cost here in Russia. Your band is fantastic. Thanks for the drinks, pictures and a great time.
Evgenij

Tomorrow you guys are playing down in Ellicottville. Are you playing outside or inside in a bar/restaurant? Thanks for your help.

Hi. We are looking for a quote for our Awards dinner entertainment for Monday at the Hyatt Regency Buffalo. We are looking at several bands, we would like to know your price and if you have that night available. The event is from 7:30 to 1:00am, the band would play after the Awards are given out. Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you. Ann

Mark, thanks for a good time past night at Yellow Jag. I thought you guys sounded great - an easy group to work for and work with. It had been a long day before I even got to the gig, and today I've been up since 7 getting ready for my daughters birthday party. Thankfully last night was an early show. I know I've said it before- but I have an even larger system than what I brought last night. If youd ever like to have me out again - let me know. It was be my pleasure. Have a great weekend, -

Hey Mark, it's Buddy the Terrier. Mom got me this cool Hit N Run shirt and I look awesome in it. I attached a picture of me and Mom for your weekly e-mail. So if I get a chance to get out and see the band could you play me a request? I like Black Dog, Bark at the Moon, and Who Let the Dogs Out. I wish you were my favorite local band but I like that new band ELI. Know why? Because they play Three DOG Night. Bark Bark!

Tommy

ELI, What a Great Show Friday night! You Guys Owned the room. What a collection of musical talent. Thanks for the shout out and performing Pieces of April, just a beautiful Ballad. One, was fantastic and Mark Nailed it! It brought back memories of seeing TDN (with all the original singers) at Sheas in the early 80's. My opinion you beat that performance. However I might be slightly jaded on this. LOL Here is the link to all of the 669 photos from the show, With opening act included also. https://picasaweb.google.com/105848202901073448743/ELIAtTheTralf92812?authuser=0&feat=directlink

Will you be able to find out what the EBC schedule is by tomorrow (I have a FD meeting tomorrow night and I am trying to nail everything down for then). Thanks,

Donna

Hey Mark thank's for getting back to me. to answer your question good friend and past band member said he heard this from somebody close to the band. you can't blame me for at least asking about Buffalo's most coveted Drummer job. but i appreciate you keeping me in mind if Joey ever does leave.

Hi Mark, Just wanted to let you know that when I was leaving Dock at the Bay on Friday, this guy stopped me an asked "why are you so happy/" and I told him that seeing HIT and RUN makes me happy for the whole week. Why?? Because the band is awesome, have met a lot of great friends, the music can't be beat and the band and you truly appreciate the loyal fans and friends of the band!!!! And when Thursday rolls around, the good news is that its just a few more hours and you can go see HIT and RUN.....Then he said "I see your point" and sure enough that same fan was at Winchester on Saturday!! Awesome shows on Friday and Saturday!!! Loved it all!!!!

Great show at the Dock. I was not going to go, since I went on the website and they did not show a (or your) band playing and it seemed like they were closed, but my friend facebooked me and I am glad I went. It was packed when I got there around 8:30. I saw so many people that I knew or recognized. Great show and great time.

I just was looking to get ahead of the game with a playlist. I know you guys probably know a million songs by now, but if you can narrow it down somewhat to the most “probable,” I can get started on those. Just want to make sure I’m prepared for ya’s (to fill-in). No immediate rush, but if you can send me a list of the ones you really need me to know and I’ll get going on them. Thanks!
Mike C

So wut is my prize if i show up 2 both shows? lol Saturday is a def and i might b bar tending, and where do i get tickets for the Bellevue Fire Halloween Party? I have friends who want 2 go

Mark wanted to invite you to join our Buffalo team in going to Erie for a softball doubleheader. The games will be held Saturday October 6th pending confirmation that a field is available. The game time in the past has been around a noon start but that is up to our hosts. Several guys have already confirmed to me they are in; all are welcome, just let me know who to expect.

Thanks Mark - we expect to be at Clarence both nights and we'll see you there. Appreciate you getting the shirts. We were out of town and missed the Wednesday NT Canal Concert - didn't get back until last night.
Dave and Linda

We would like to add a date to the Dock at the Bays calendar and do a, END OF SUMMER day on Friday, Sept 7th with Hit n Run. The drinks will be discounted and free prizes and give aways will be given by the Dock and Beer manufacturers. The Coors grils will be there from 8-10 and give away T-Shirts, Koozies, Keychains and more. This discount day at the dock is in appreciation of the great year it has been and this would work out great with HNR.
Mike Roz

I want to get rates and availability for Hit and Run for the Fredonia festival we are doing in 2012. Can you please send me that information along with contract details?
Melissa

I am inquiring about a possible booking for a wedding. Do you travel? We are looking to get married 8/24/13 in Ogdensburg, NY. This is approximately 4 hours from Buffalo, it is located in the 1000 islands region. The reception will be taking place outside under a tent. We are expecting approximately 350 people to attend. The site is easily accessible there is a road that goes right to the tent. We are looking for the band to play from approximately 8PM until midnight and possibly if things are still going at midnight adding an additional hour at that point. Thank you, I look forward to hearing from you.
AnnaLynn S

Hi Mark, Just want to confirm that everything is in place for the Wings fundraiser on Saturday September 15, 2012. Please let us know how many tickets you will need for the band and provide an address to mail them to. Thanks,

Leo

I took my family (including my 14 y.o. daughter) to the "free all ages" show at St. Gabriels on Sat. 8/25; There apparently was no area for "families" if your family includes minors. St. Gabriels had essentially no information online and so we had no way to know about this restriction. Thank you,
Mike S

Thank you for taking the time to answer my email, I saw your performance at the Lancaster carnival this summer and she loved it, since her and her husband will be celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary in two years I was trying to sent up a surprise party for them since they have no kids and I was the maid of honor but yes that's out of my budget and you guys are worth every dime if not more I guess we'll just catch your performance at another function but again thank you for responding and good luck with everything you do!! Sincerely
Kim

Thanks for the reponse on the wedding
James W

Hi Mark, Get ready, I am coming to town!!!!!! Lol See on Friday! By the way - I still haven't gotten a t-Shirt! LOL

Hey Mark, I just wanted to check in to see that you got the quote I sent you last week, and how the prices looked to you. Thanks,
Jason & Wooden T-Shirts

Please call me to see if you are available for may 2013. My name is Jeff Stribing, my phone number is xxx-xxxx. Thank you.
Jeff S

Hi Mark, Thanks for the congratulations. Our reception is July 6th 2013. I was wondering first if you had that date available. Second I had some questions...How many hours do you play and what do your sets and breaks look like. Will you emcee the reception as well. During your breaks will there be music played or can we use your sound system to play music. What is required for deposit. How will the band dress. How long does set up take. Do you take special request for songs and will you play bridal dances or will they be CD. Thank you in advance
Brett

Yes!!! Good to see you on Sunday, Mark. Cindy and I will try to get to Frog Hair on Fri.
Len

Great idea to put all these pictures together. Gives you a true perspective of how great Hit N Run really is. You guys Rock!
Ken K (Wide Right)

omg i had a blast last nite! Thank u for the shirt.....luv pink. u played all my favorites. maybe we will see u this weekend.
Paula

What an amazing crowd at the canal last night. It was like a concert with a sea of people. You know how to bring them in and keep them happy.
David

I am at the Dockside every Wednesday and I wanted to let you know that your crowd at the canal was the largest crowd of the summer at the harbor series tonight. There are usually a decent amount of parking spots by the Dockside and you could not see an available spot in sight. Your band does a fabulous job.
Anna

I figured I would be really tired at work today but not so much. Hit N Run were great yesterday and yes there was about 5,000 people there. They will be at the Dock of the Bay next weekend I am so going to that."
Mary S

Sue C

Glad to hear you are doing great! I walked in the door of the pub and saw Joe playing. I knew Scotty and Tina were going to the canal last night cause Tina called and asked me to go. Im sure the crowd did get a kick with u being on Scottys shoulders i know it surprised me when u did it at the fair.. c u at Winchester!
Shelly

Hi Mark, Thanks for the information. If the date becomes available, please let me know. We are definitely interested in booking and could put a deposit down ASAP. Thank you for the quick response
Rick

I'm going to start taking pictures at our DISCO DUCK shows. We keep seeing Hit n Run t-shirts in the crowd. Last sighting was Sat. night at Jellystone Camping Resort in N Java

You make the weekends worth while!! I have met the greatest people because of HNR =)
Kathy

Thats awesome;) great tribute Mark ;)"
Joyce

Tons of compliments on our tees (on our vacation to the islands), the entire resort knows about Hit N Run! The Band there played a ton of the same songs.....but just not the same as you guys!! See you when we get back!
Candice and Amy (Snookie)

See you on Wednesday. It should be a great night - no rain & high 70's. Crowds have been good all summer so I expect the last night will be a full house (park). If you could get you large equipment on stage and drums set up before the opening band that would help with the switchover.
Rick F

I had an awesome time at Hit N Run last night with Sarah, Jen, Margaret & Lynn!!!! great music, drinks & no one ended up in a ditch!!!"
Mary F

I believe you have the Address right see below, just add Center - follow the signs that say 'Labor Day Fair' Clarence Fire Hall is on Main St though located behind the Clarence Center Fire Hall on 9415 Clarence Center Road , Clarence 14032 .

Dawn M

Thanx Mark. Hate to be a pain, but for this weekend it lists "St Gabriels Tent Party (Open to the Public) Lancaster". The only St Gabriels I can find in the area is at 5271 CLINTON STREET in Elma. Is that the right one? Is it a lawn fete? And you are playing at 8 both nights, correct? Thanx Again,
Linda

Mark- the price is fine...it's more your availability that I'm concerned with. Our party is Friday, September 7, 2012...if you could let me know if you're available as soon as possible, I'd appreciate it....I just had another band back out on me this morning. You can reach me directly. Thank you!!
Allison D

Mark: Thank you for taking the time to get back to me. I was hoping you could provide me with further information as to what the starting rate for weddings includes. Thanks again,
Melissa S

Can we confirm Saturday 12/1 at Tony Romes?
Joe S

I am a big fan of Hit and Run. I love your group. I am VP of a local company and wanted to obtain your services for a work related party. Please call me with rate and availability information.
Kevin

Mark, I could hear your band playing at St Gabriel’s…all the way on Running Brook. I sat on the deck and enjoyed myself. The band sounded great.
Len

See you Wed on the Canal. Should be a great time.
Stephen

Cant wait for the next ELI show. Let me know where to get tickets.

Mitch

Just wanted to let you know how great you sounded. My boyfriend and I had a great time.
Donna

Thought I 'd add a new twist with the bases on the stage. Please add Beth to the Birthday list for Friday, she has been practicing her "Cowbell" for the Loverboy Song

Lisa

Hey Hit and Run, thanks for another great Saturday night. I have been following the band for about 6 years now. I have been to several of your shows this summer and every one had a great crowd. I see a lot of the same faces in front. You must be proud that you have such a loyal fan base. Great music and great times. Thanks for another great summer.
K atrina

Will see you on Saturday. It is my friend’s birthday and we decided that we are celebrating with Hit and Run.
Lynn

So glad the weekend is here. I am looking forward to seeing Hit N Run on Saturday night at St Gabriels. Might do Friday too, if I am not too tired after work.
Sheila

Trying to get the crew from our old company out to see Hit and Run this week or next.
Bill A

You guys are my favorite. Not only for the music, but to be honest I go because of all the great looking women that attend. I am recently divorced and have made a bunch of new friends by coming to a few of your shows. I even bought a Hit and Run T-Shirt. Thanks!
Brian

YOU ROCK!!!
Al

we r going:) (St Gabriels this weekend.)
Lynn

Yeah, some bands and some people hate other people's success.
Ken K (Wide Right)

See you and ELI soon, my mom is such a big fan of three dog nights song Eli"s coming that she named my big brother, Eli? who was born in 1978 to give him purpose thank you!

Thanks for the Photo Mark…. I passed it along to Andy (Levitre of the Buffalo Bills) & Katie (our daughter).
Sharon

Hi, I'm getting married in May and was curious if the band does weddings. If so, what do you charge? We love seeing you guys play and think it would really make the wedding that much more great!! Thanks in advance,
Melissa S

Oh yeah. My husband works crazy hours so he couldn’t make it this year. I told him he MUST take off next year. We have a wedding this weekend so I can’t make it to Annunciation. I’ll see you in the front row at St Gab’s! Have a great weekend
Peggy

I just wanted to tell you that You were Totally Awesome @ the Erie County Fair Last Night .... He had a Blast ... Thank You
Lisa F

I am getting married August 17th 2013 and was wondering if you happen to do weddings?
James

Good morning-I am getting married in Chautauqua on May 26, 2013, and I was wondering if your band was open to performing at weddings. We are having a 5 hour reception at the old hotel on the grounds of the Institution for approximately 120-150 people. We love the idea of a cover band/rock band versus a DJ or a "typical" wedding band. We are in our 30s/40s, so we are bit "older" compared to the typical wedding couple, and we both love all the songs on your song list as well as live music! Please let me know if this is something you would be interested in going, and also let me know what your rates would be. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely,
Karen

Going to Bowmansville to see Buffalo’s best band Hit n Run.
Michelle D

Great time and nice crowd at Annunciation last Friday. For a small church and event, you really bring in a lot of people for them.
Carolyn

Love the Hit n Run hats Jenny made. You girls look so cool.
Christine K

Drinking and dancing with Hit n Run at Annunciation tonight.
Rachel S

Another amazing party with the Mahoney’s! See you soon!
Peggy

Mark, did you change your flight yet.
Randy

Hey Mark, would you happen to have the e-mail address of Mark Mahoney, if you are OK with giving that out? We left Saturday and didn’t see him around to thank him for a great time, and I want to let Mark know our appreciation. Oh, from Saturday too, the cow-bell girl, yeah she needs some rhythm & practice. I was so embarrassed……………………
Mark T

"Nice pic of Guy!! Love it!! I'll be missing Friday night's show cuz I'll be at the Def Leppard and Poision concert instead!! See you Saturday!!
Lisa

Hi Mark, I just wanted to say thank you again for making my weekend in my hometown. Thank you for allowing me to sing on stage. I wanted to know if you would like to collaborate on a song that I have prepared, but would love your input and your voice. It doesn’t have to be in the genre of country. I want you to rock it out!!! The Song is Hard Heart – it is on my CD – Last song – BUT what I want is a Male singer to sing it. Let me know if you are up for it. I have attached it. Talk soon
Wendy

Hit N Run there tonight so am I...lol
Colleen

Love the hit and run hats Jenny they make you girls look so cool .
Christine

Holy cow that Bills guy is HOT !!!! Oh yea, and you’re not too bad either. Ha Ha Ha But really, thank you! Now I have a new favorite player!

Greetings! Annunciations web site says another band is playing there Friday,but your website says it's you? Hoping it's you, please advise!
Steve

Hello folks, Every time I go to a fair or event like that it seems that you are playing. Congratulations on being out there so much.
Jason & Wooden T-Shirts

Thanks for getting back to me Mark. We did make out on Friday night and were front row to enjoy the show. I have been coming to your shows for almost 5 years now. I've seen you perform at a number of locations over western new york. Every time I bring new friends to experience your performance, they are instantly hooked like I was when I saw you perform at Macroon's for the first time. My girlfriend did not know about this email I sent inquiring about playing at our wedding, but she actually approached you this past Friday night about it. While I was in the bathroom, she said something to the regards of "my boyfriend wants you to play at our wedding" and you told her "have him get ahold of me." Could it be fate? We don't have a wedding date planned and we'd be aiming for sometime in 2014. Either way, I wanted to thank you for emailing me back, and we will continue to enjoy your shows and support your band. Thanks
Scott M

Rumor has it that you guys are playing there (at Macaroons) on Saturday 10/20. Is that date now confirmed? If so, I plan to schedule our hockey fundraiser for that night. Thx…
Dave L

We received the contract and were hoping for two days in September instead of one. Can you call us back.

Please don’t forget about me trying to put some fall dates together. Give me a call when you get a chance. Thanks.

Jim

Hi Mark - Thanks again for all you do for us at Resurrection. We admire your professionalism and working hard for our cause. You guys (and gal) are the only band I have worked with that continue to place the fundraiser's interests at the forefront each night you perform. Believe me when I tell you it does not go unnoticed and is very appreciated. I received a lot of compliments after the event. You and the band play a huge part in our success and I look forward to working with you again next year - hopefully with better weather. Thanks again -
Mark

Mark, Hope all is well.I am looking to get tickets for the ELI Show at the Tralf. (4 of them 1 for me, Wife and 2 friends) Where should I get them from. You or the Tralf Box office? Thanks.
Dan Ruggiero (Hitman Photography)

Hit n Run, Had a good time last night. Like I mentioned, I have a much larger system for bigger events. I also have a pretty great light system which includes half a dozen moving head lights too. If you ever need anything in the future let me know- you guys were a great group to work with,

Michelle

How many local WNY cover bands have a tribute to them? You can see a tribute or you can see the REAL THING.
Pat

Poor Rudy, He was more concerned about you finishing the song. He was going real good too, until he tried to do a spin. You should’ve seen the look on your face when he came a-tumbling down.
Jim C

This email is fine to use for sending our your schedule information

Tom McGill (Starstruck Productions)

Hi Mark, Can I firm up some dates with you. I want to give you first choice so I have been reluctant to give dates away, but time is drawing near. Please advise.
Bruce (Aud)

Mark a bunch of my friends are all offering to chip in and sponsor the band to come and play in Sardinia in 2013. Let me know if you can do that. We watch you all the time and love the band and are willing to do that to get you here to a local place. We think it will be the bomb.
Tammy

Hello, Can you please send me your rates and let me know if you would have any availability on either Friday September 7 or Saturday September 8?

Rachel

Forgot to tell you that my drum teacher was downtown and heard you at M&T. He said man these guys sound just like Bon Jovi. He (the drum teacher) opened for BJ a few years ago. Now that is a compliment.
Ken K (Wide Right)

Great show as always! C u Friday at the fair because Ken is a fireman and Fri is firemans day at the ECF.

Miranda

Hey man, saw these when i was looking for backdrops, thought of HNR. I think you can upload anything you want and they are cheap, could totally have a Hit N run emblem on that!
PAUL

Guy is so entertaining. I cant believe he dropped his drawers and had Hit n Run on his boxers. Then on of my male friends told me that is what they do at ACDC concerts. “WE LOVE GUY”
Laura

Hello, My name is Rob and I am quite a fan of your band. You guys perform your songs to perfection and I really enjoy the genre of music (old, new, 80’s etc…). Just wanted to tell you that this past week I was in Chicago and accidently stumbled upon a street fair that had several stages with a variety of music being performed. The band that really caught my attention was this band that, I swear to you, was like your band, “Hit and Run,” crossbred with “That 80s Hair Band.” The singer sounded Like you (Mark) and they played many of the same songs as you. They reminded me so much of you guys. Regardless, they did do one song that I have often thought of asking you guys to do, and after hearing them perform it, I have to ask. The song is “Fallen Angel” by, none other than “Poison.” The song totally rocks and you guys, I know, could nail it. What do you think? Thanks for the good times,
Rob F

Have friends coming in-town that want to be shown a good time; I plan on taking them to see your band this Friday. Where is Resurrection in Cheektowaga? Also, does Hit n Run play at weddings? What's the going rate for a private party like that for future reference?
Scott M

WTF…where did the summer go. See you next week at the Fair
Chris T

Thank you so much Mark. I will be in touch either the 16th or 17th to drop off the contract. Frank and I appreciate your help in making it a great night for all of us. See you and Hit n Run in the beer tent!!!
Linda

"Have a great weekend of gigs, Mark. I want to catch you guys out sometime again soon....I have to work this weekend as well.
Marilyn"

Angela

Mark, we absolutely love your bass player. He is a nut.
Toni

If it wasn't for you (hit n run) and the band, I might have never met Kris Crowley…”We don’t meet people by accident, they were meant to cross our paths for a reason.”
Jay

Hey where are all the new pics like from st Martha's? I would really like to see them cause I was there and just wanted to say you guys are amazing as soon as I turned 21 I've been going to your shows (ever since) you guys are the best!
Delia

Mark: We sent you a email about a booking for next year, can you check and get back to us.
Helen T

Can you let me know if Hit n Run has any dates for the fall for Pages Paradise Island.
Bryan

Mark, do you want to give me any dates for the fall?
Joe Sorrentino (Tony Romes)

Mark, can your band do the whole weekend in September? Let me know.
Eddie

Hi Hit n Run, I just wanted to say thank you again for letting me sing. I don’t think I can even begin to tell you how much it means to me. So thank you a thousand times.
Erika

Any dates for us in the fall?
Bruce

Thanks Mark, We've built the concert series to this year's average of 309! It's really doing well. The count (with Hit n Run) was about 575 for last night. That beats our old record by about 100. You guys are great. I've been a working musician since 1978. I've worked the kind of schedule you guys have and I know it's really hard to "bring it" after so many shows in a row. But, honestly you were on your game, mixed up the material and played extra. You get what you pay for. You proved that last night. Your lead guitarist is of course phenomenal. The sound was full ballsy and clear. I will propose we bring you back every year.
David A

Great show at Burgerfest. You guys did great for what looks like a record breaking night. Keep the date open for next year.
Maria

Sorry you are booked already. I cant believe that you have shows a year or more in advance. I will keep that in mind because we want you for our show next year, since we could not get Hit and Run this year.
Kathy O

Hi Mark: It's Don (Blasdell Music Committee)... my band played at the Town of Evans Bash, huge crowd there also, and I missed your show. I heard all about the Trans Siberian song and am sorry that I missed it. I will catch your show when I have a day off that I can come and see you. You were the biggest show Blasdell ever had and thank you for playing extra like you did. 5 star performance, thank you and the band for us. Take care,
Don

Hi I was wondering your availability July 8, 2013 evening for a graduation party at the Country Club…I saw you at Old Home Days and really enjoyed your music. Regards,
Mark O

Thanks again for bringing out the girls to OLBS! Oh u sounded good too. I guess you know where my priorities are.
Michael G

The event is Boston Hills BBQ Fest a fund raiser for the fire Company held at the Hamburg Fairgrounds. Several hundred would be there for Friday night.
Sam

Saw you in Blasdell last night & you did an awesome job and hope you come back! Used to follow The Little Trolls (my friends and I used to call it "trolling") back in the day :-) Thanks for a great show! Definitely will catch you some other time :-)
Cynthia S

Hello, We are getting married July 20, 2013 at a new Lodge in Ellicottville, NY, and are wondering if you would be available to play for us and how much your rate would be? Thanks,
Laura M

Hi I would like to hire your band for a private party on aug 18. Please contact me. Thank you.
Kathy

Was wondering if your band would like to play on August 19th anytime from 4-8 in Angola. This would be greatly appreciated. Have seen you guys play a few times and really liked your band. My cell is attached if easier than email.
Gary B

Hello Hit and Run! Mark, we will be celebrating a 40th birthday in the beer tent. We were hoping you could help make it a special night. All the girls will be in special T shirts celebrating the occasion. We were hoping you could give a "shout out", as well as sing Happy Birthday. We would also love a Hit and Run tank top so I would be happy to pay for it if you could throw one out to the birthday person. I hope I am not asking too much, but I think you know how much we all enjoy coming to your performances and the person whose birthday would be absolutely thrilled by anything you can do. ALL OF THIS WILL BE A SURPRISE.
Peter

You can really hit the notes on "One" and the other song, those two songs you did really impressed me. Your son, Mike is it? he was so cute, and quite a natural on stage.
Marilyn

"Had so much fun today with the kids! Thank you for the fun and thank you Michael and Mark Valentino for all the rides, but mostly for dunking my Petunia!!!
Julie

Hit N Run Playing At Grass Island Today? If so, what time?
Steven

"Just back from the "Saint Martha's" lawnfete ..Hit N Run was great as always...did not want to leave! (akas "Barnabas/OBS " Lawnfete.)Great time, still have an ounce of energy left!"
Barbara

You guys are my new favorite band....I can't believe how many songs I was familiar with that 3DN did....
Cheryl

Hey Mark, Hope the band is having a great summer. Can't wait to see you guys again (for our yearly trip to Buffalo to see) the New England Patriots and Hit n Run play when we return in late September for our annual trip. I thought you might get a kick out of the email below (and attached pictures). I saw your email a few weeks ago when you had certain celebrities on stage with you and thought, "maybe I'll be a celebrity on stage with HNR this fall". I am going to be featured on a show for the Food Network coming up in October. Take care, hoping we'll be able to connect when we come up again.
Steve (From Mass)

Where else would we be other than seeing Hit n Run at St Martha’s
Nick

Is it an 8pm start tonight?
Barb

Thanks you. We have been doing the Blasdell series for several years and this past week with Hit n Run was our biggest attendance ever, estimated at over 600 people in the park.
Amy

Good Afternoon: Second Chance Sheltering Network, Inc. is an all volunteer, NO-Kill animal rescue organization. We would like to have a "Party for the Paws" on a Saturday in May or June in 2013. Do you have any openings during that time period and what would be the cost.
Helen T

I will see you sooner than later. I had a great time at last weeks show.
Clair

Mark, who was that girl that sang with you (in Blasdell). She did a GREAT, GREAT job.

Darlene T

Love shack sounded amazing. I cant believe Danny and Erika sounded just like the record.

Blasdell is a small community. You killed it at their event and it was the best crowd ever. Next year there will be even more.
Sharon

Great show and great time. I will see you at the Erie County Fair.

Hello Mark, My fiance and I had a chance to check you guys out last night at old homes days.. we had a really good time... My main question is what would be a round about price to have you play at our wedding.. we like the more upbeat songs that people know but we would also like some slower songs as well.. we are having the reception at pearl street On the top floor if that is a factor that is part of the price. I would really appreciate of you could give me that ball park price.. then we can see if we could have you play at our wedding...Thank you

Stephaine

Hey there...how was Rik Emmett? We wanted to go, but Linsey had to work until 8:30 that night and we had no way to get her home. I figured Rik might not have even started by then anyway, but I also figured the place would be crazy packed and impossible to get to. hope all is well with you, Nancy and Michael!

That was great of Pat Kaleta and Ruben Brown to get up and sing with Hit and Run. Can you send me the pic of Pat and me?
Lori

Hi Guys: You guys are a great band. Been hearing the band for years. I know your genre is older rock; but I have a suggestion for a song that is from the present time that is an intense ballad between a guy & a girl. I think it would bring the house down. Your lead guy & girl could do it great! They could sing it to each other instead of the audience. Towards the end of the night in one of your last sets. The couples in the crowd would really luv' it I bet. The song is Poison & Wine by The Civil Wars. There is an intense video on You Tube also. Mabey the band would like to ck it out. I think it would be great for you guys. I know it's not the music you usually do; Hi Mark,

I saw the band before at Old Home Days in Williamsville and will be going again this year. The wedding is July 6, 2013 (Saturday) at night. July 2012 as==shows
Jennifer Cohen <jenlcohen@yahoo.com>

We are hosting a surprise 50th birthday party on Saturday, July 14, 2012, and would love to have live music! Please contact me at 912-2619 to discuss this further. Thank you!

We will be there a few minutes after 7. Don’t do our songs before wer get there.
Katie

Mark it looked like you were rising above the crowd. With so many people we did not see whose shoulders you were on and it looked like you were suspended and rising in the air.
Chuck

some of our favorites are magic man, heartless ,crazy on you ,sand, red velvet car,hey you, to give you a few, just to let you know, We come to about 8-10 shows a year and we noticed that alot of your shows you sing the same songs over and over what about learning some new stuff (current)? do your best with heart thank you.
Dwayne dgigante@polyfusion.us

Mark, than k you for drawing the prettiest girls in WNY to your shows.
Mike G

I just talked to Mike, he says "Mark was floating". I said what. He's like he was on some big guys shoulders lol. I said ohh, thats Scotty. Said he wanted to say hi to you but didn't get a chance. He told me I should of went.

Hello Mark - I'm the guy that asked about the tees at Lancaster and again at Olcott last week. We would like two of the Large Navy Blue Shirts like the one you wore at Lancaster. If what you had on was XL, then I guess we would also need XL. As you suggested, let us know when you get them and we'll go from there.

Hi Mark, Did you have July 6 of next year available for a wedding? Also, what is your pricing? Thanks,

As long as Hit n Run is playing, there is always a big crowd to follow. What a fabulous crowd at Cheektowaga. Please reserve the spot again for us next year, 2013.
Jackie

Mark, I am on the committee for the festival and if you want to play, just give me the word. Also consider doing the Sunday show at the end of the summer.
Jim

I hate you! LOL (for getting me up on stage at Queen of Heaven).
Pat Kaleta (Buffalo Sabres)

Thanks for a great job at Queen of Heaven. People mark the Saturday date way in advance to make sure they reserve it to stop out to our event.

Please call me so we can work on our show for February 2013. It will be a Luccarelli’s

If it is not broken, don’t fix it. Hit N Run and Lancaster is a great team and it works for us.

I left an email on your website with a Party we are looking at putting on in the fall. Please check and get back to me.
Sarah

What is Kaleta doing singing ("my" song Sweet Caroline…I am Chris Klein” with Hit n Run at Queen of Heaven)! ha ha ha! His aching wrist is what he gets for stealing my tune! Let's hope is healed by hockey season!
Chris Klein

OMG. That was the most fun I have ever had in my life.
Stephanie

I just wanted to say I can not thank you enough for letting me sing last night. It was literally one of the greatest feelings that I’ve ever experienced. It is something I will truly never forget. Thank you for this opportunity. It really meant so much to me.
Erika

Great job on Sunday at the Taste.
Jessica

I just had to tell you this. I was walking down the street and saw a guy with a Hit n Run shirt on. I would never say anything to a stranger in public but in this case asked him how he knew or if he liked your band. We proceeded to have like a 30 minute conversation on how much we love Hit n Run. He wound up asking me on a date and I owe it to you, only because of your band and our mutual interest in Hit n Run. Thanks Hit N Run, I made another friend because of you. I will let you know how the date works out.
Laura

Your band is the most fun that we ever have when going out.
Peter

Thanks again for the opportunity to play. I had a blast. I hope I did not train wreck too badly!
Dave Mucha

Hey Mark…great show as always.

Mike H

Hey Mark thanks for the pictures. They’re great! Yeah they had a good time. It was just two couples, from work. But you know people are weird too. I had a whole table at one of the indoor Q of H parties with you. They RAVED about it, yet only one person came back ever. See you Saturday, or not, as Janet & I are working the QofH beer tent Friday & Saturday. The Saturday crowd is so huge you get no chance to enjoy anything. Work your butt off instead LOL
Mark T

Thanks for the ride and breakfast to the Olcott show
Jim and Linda

Cant imagine what it is like to play to a sea of people like that. Plan on golf not this Sun but next. That would be the 15 th of july. You guys rock.
Ken

Hi Mark, I will be at the Olcott show. Pretty close for me. I live in Lockport. You wont believe what happened at Dock of the Bay the last Friday I was there with Hit n Run. I left my parking lights on and my battery was dead. Couldnt find anyone with cables!!!!! I dont know what it is with that place but something happens everytime I go there. First time I lose my wallet then this!!!!! HAHAHA.
Paula

Hi Hit and Run. Thanks for allowing me to sing with you in Cheektowaga. If I ever have the opportunity I would love to sing for the band. Here is my number and I am hoping for another opportunity.
Erika

So how was your fourth for you and hit and run?

Karen

Talk dirty to me!
Susan

You cant constantly worry about making someone else happy if they're not willing to be happy. And you have to accept that in order to be happy yourself. You cant change someone, unless they're willing to change themselves.
Brian

Folks are about as happy as they make their minds up to be ~
Abe Lincoln

Hi Mark, I have two people that I would like to work with you with. One girl that is an excellent singer. I know she probably knows some of these songs. She has a powerhouse voice and I can show you a video of her. She is also one of my teachers too. I also have a younger one who rocks the stage but is only 18 years old. I will forward her this if you like what you hear. I also have others that may be able to do this as well.
Debbie

Mark please reserve Hit n Run for April 20th of 2013 for our event.
John R

I would like to book Hit n Run for a show in June of 2013. Can you call me.
Dan

I see Hit N Run is not playing July 14th. We would like to book you for a show. Is that date available, or are does the band need to take the day off?
Regina

Mark, Can you check with your contacts at Lancaster ponytails about next April’s date for their fundraiser, I want to have our date set so we can have save the date cards for the 4th of July. Easter is March 31st so we would want ours the second or third Saturday in April.
John B

We are hosting a surprise birthday party on Saturday, July 14, 2012, and would love to have live music! Please contact me at to discuss this further. Thank you!
Tammy

Thanks so much for the invite, Mark......actually, I was waiting for you guys to take a break so I could say hi, but you played a marathon 1st set (wow!), and by then, we had to leave :-( But now that I have an idea of your songs/presentation, etc, I will definitely come up & introduce myself next time, & maybe sit in with you guys-it would be an honor! Take care, & keep in touch!
Eddie K (7th Heaven-keyboards)

Hey Mark, I just wanted to let you know that one of my best friends is a fantastic drummer who went to the canal. He said Mark has got to be one of the best singers ever in Buffalo. It was great seeing him do something different from Hit n Run and doing it that well.
Mark M

I was there in alden. I absolutely love your band.
Tracy

I don't know how you do it, playing night before , golf and then amusement park. I took a nap.
Ken

Hi Mark, GREAT show last night. Love....love....loved it! Awesome performances by all of the band! Can't wait for the next show!! See you soon.
Patti

Can you call me about availability and booking for a large show.

We caught your hit and run show a few times last year. You guys are excellent.
Andrew

Great to see you again.|
Joann

What a Freakin crowd at the dock. It was amazing. Keep up the great works guys (an gal)!
Kevin

it's great to hear my old favorites from three dog night
Rick

Hi Mark, My brother Terry & I, along with my wife & a couple of friends, were at the Alden Carnival Sat night......I finally was able to get out & catch you guys......VERY impressive! Those harmonies ruled!! So many vocalists in one band really makes for great harmonies....you could do any song you wanted, obviously. So many bands are strong musically, but lack great vocals.....that's certainly no issue with you guys! Terry & I spoke with your sound man, Joe "Tall", (he did an awesome job, as he always does), whom Terry worked with for many years in his band Talon. We also spoke with Debbie Loke, who is from out our way (Medina-Lyndonville area), as well as Guy, about an hour before the show. Once again, it was a pleasure, & hopefully someday I'll be able to get out again. Take care,
Eddie K (7th Heaven-keyboards)

My bass player said he saw ELI at the canal and said I always knew Mark was a great singer, I just did not realize how great and really appreciate it as much until I saw him with ELI.
Ken

I heard so many fantastic things about Hit n Run that I had to stop out. I am glad I did. The show you put on was great. I was amazed by the variety. Me and my friends had a great night out and we will be back.
Anita

I forwarded the video clips to my friends.
Jennifer B

Rockstars need to take care of themselves!! lol :)
Karen

Kelly. We just loved Love Shack!. Danny sounds just like the guy and it was a lot of fun.

Jennifer C

How much would it be for band to play at birthday party for my fiancé's birthday party in late June. Just curious as to price
Justin A

Thomas C

we were wondering if kelly could sing some heart songs thank you :-)
Dwayne

I hope all is well. I am wondering if your band Hit N Run would be able to play a set at “Babstock”? This event helps fund our “Prime Time” After School program for the kids in the Seneca-Babcock Community. Our event will be held on August 25, 2012 from 1pm to 11pm. I know you have a show that evening at St. Gabriel’s but any time you can fit in would be appreciated.
Brian

It (ELI show) was a great night and I thank you for helping to get the word out. I thought the band sounded great. Excellent harmonies and the musicianship sounded like you have been working together for years, not two shows. I think everyone that saw the band was impressed. Thank you again and contact me if any questions.
Rick Falkowski (Buffalo Music Awards)

I saw Three Dog Night last year and you guys sounded better than they did. Great job. Brought back some great memories.
Steve

Soccer, dinner then going to see my favorite band/ and people at Alden =)
Kathy

I have been waiting for someone to do a project like this. Not sure why it took someone so long to come up with a three dog night tribute, but glad you did.
Gary

Rick

Hi Mark! I'm feeling tons better. Glad I came to Alden show Friday night. I had fun, as always! :)
Lisa

I liked it (The ELI show) alot. I thought you guys drew a lot of people for only the second time u played out. And ur son made the show in the end!
Paula L

My Daughter (15) and her friend (16) enjoyed the concert last night. We talked about it on the ride home. (Shocked me that they liked it.) Guess it Proves that the music of Three Dog Night is "timeless". How does it feel to know you all engaged and reached a younger audience? I enjoyed working the show myself. It is always easier when the music that surrounds you is enjoyable and top notch.
Dan Ruggiero (Hitman Photography)

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that the teacher at Alden who says he went to school with you is Jim Hi….Also, Eric will probably be looking for you either tonight or tomorrow night when he goes to the carnival. are you going to Have any T-shirts with you?

Kathy

Hey Mark its Joe! Your son was adorable. He did so good. It was fun...the band sounded great.

Do you or can you play "I can't hold back" by Survivor? Two part request, If you can do it, it would be cool to hear you guys play it and second part, maybe someday I could play it with you. Hope your Sunday is nice and relaxing with your family.

Hi I am the EMS captain at the Vol. Fire Co. We are celebrating 75 years of service to our community. We are having our community days and are looking to book a band for the night show. Everyone enjoys your Hit and Run shows and we believe it would be a big draw to help our company and connect us with our service community. We would love for you to be able to do our show. We are ending the show at midnight. You can email me or contact me at xxx-xxxx Thank you
Kristi R

Mark, Taz’s wife here….We are booked with Klocs, all set with you playing there. Let me know when you want to do a contract and give you a deposit. Thank you again...my daughter is thrilled! Thank you so much! We already told them we were trying to book you. Let me know when you want us to do the contract and how much deposit you want.
Nancy M

"Mark, Saw you last night at St. Amelias. Great show !! sounded fantastic !!!"
John Duerr

WOW! ELI totally exceeded my expectations!! Brilliant! Fun! Amazing! Anatole France once said, "to accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe"-- Keep dreaming. Keep believing. There's no place else to go from here, but up Again, phenomenal night. Thank you.
Julia

Great job last night, we had fun!
Kelly

Hey Guy, Now that's alot of cool summer dates lol . Great booking . Hope you give your agent a good Christmas Present , lol . Enjoy your summer Guy .
Alex C

F-in incredible job at the Forum for ELI. Me and my wife had a fantastic time.
Rob

Mark, It's Peter from Ellicottville Brewing. We are set for Fall Fest again this year Sat. October 6th
Peter

The (3 Dog Night) music was great. I loved the band. It was great to hear all those songs. There was only a couple that I did not know. All the guys in the band were a lot of fun and had great voices.
Janice

Cant say enough, you made us proud (with ELI). AWESOME!
Ken Kolniak (Wide Right)

So glad the beer tent tour is here. Glad the weather held out for you on Saturday. It was great to see the other talented musicians on stage with Hit and Run. To see Phil Hudson (The Road), Jeremy (Strictly Hip) and Chuck (Mo Porter) up on stage was extremely entertaining. That is so cool of your band to invite them up. Just a class act and band.
Tony

Great job with ELI. Thanks!
Linda

OM Goodness! I thought ELI was one of the best shows that I have ever been to. The songs brought back memories of my sister and I hanging out with our friends ever summer at the cottage. We always listened to the music of that era. GREAT MEMORIES! We knew a bunch of songs LOVE, LOVE, LOVED it! You guys are perfect together.
Brenda

Dear Mr. Valentino Attended your show on Sat. I liked the show. Please hold the date 4/13/13 for my daughter's wedding. Are you playing this weekend When and where? I will try and get my daughter to attend. Thank you
Nadine B

ELI. Great performance last night. I was young again and in my teens for few hours. Felt good! Only thing missing was the 65 (396) Impala rag top and a Hot babe at my side!
Dan

I enjoyed myself, as well. I have always loved the music of Three Dog Night. The other fun was watching Dan and Chuck shoot photos. Because as I watch, I learn.
Bob C

Mark, where do i begin, well first when i first heard hit-run must have been at least 10-12 yrs. ago i said what a voice then i heard you again at a church outing i think in tonawanda just few yrs. back, & said to myself if i ever start this (3 dog) thing i have to ask him. mark i have a lot of respect for you a family man. i personally want to thank you for excepting my offer... i love you with all my heart you where absolutely remarkable last night you must have thought you where elvis re-born.
Paulie

Hello, My name is Emily Young and I represent Banchetti by Rizzo's in Amherst. We were wondering if you were available to play for our summer concert series, "Groovin in the Grove," again this year. I know you played in the grove last summer and it was a big hit-- we're looking to fill out August 1st slot around 5pm. If you are available and interested in performing on that date please let us know! Thanks and we look forward to working with you soon!
Emily

Mark it is Taz’s wife. We wanted to know if you can confirm the wedding for our daughter for next year on the Sunday of Memorial weekend.
Nancy

To all the members...Three dog who? Great performance last night. Thanks for the opportunity to hang before the show and allowing me to get some photos. I think the originals would be pleased and flattered at the way you captured them. Much talent is evident just by performance WNY got to hear and witness. Not one Board look on any audience member. You captured their attention and it was non stop feet on the floor rock'n. Great job!
Dan

Fantastic! What would we need to do in order to book (when we are ready to do that?). What sort of payment or deposit is required? (I think I asked you that before but I can’t find the email…) I know I’m sold on you, but my parents and fiancé really do want to hear you first. J
Jennifer G

Hi Guys ~ Thanks for the birthday shout out recently at Cheers on a Saturday night! You guys are awesome. My group and I had so much fun dancing the night away.
Rebekah

Mark, Are you still planning on doing the bus? Also its not for sure but we are working on a small beer stand if that helps.
Julie (Friendship Festival)

Hi Mark, Hope you enjoyed your weekend! Did you have a chance to talk with everyone to see if they are available for the wedding? Thanks
Maryann

Good Morning Mark, Thank you for your email. At this time, we are working on finalizing the schedule of local talent for the 2012 Buffalo Place Summer Concert Series. I will reach out to you. Thank you again,
Jackie

Attached is the contract for the park show.
Julie

Mark, I wanted to touch base with you and make sure you received my email on Monday. Has there been any decision if you can play on that day? Thanks again..the date would be Sunday in May 2013.
Tracy

Mark , me and Adina would like two tickets for fri can u get us some or can we get them there thanks.
Bill and Adina.

Saturday is also Amy Marie Lewis "Snookie" Birthday. She loves the attached picture you took of her and labeled "Snookie"
Jim C

Mark, how do I get tickets for the Three Dog Night tribute show? Can I pick them up that night or meet you before?
Brian

Good morning Mark! Just wanted to say thank you again for the wristbands from Saturday's beer tent - we had an AWESOME time! Perfect start for the summer! Thanks again! You're the best!
-Mary

Mark, I wanted to follow up with Tazs message he left you yesterday. She really wants you to play at her wedding, hoping you are available next year on Sunday of Memorial day? Please let me know and thank you very much! Thank you
Nancy M

What kind of fee does Hit N Run need to do the opener for The Little River Band this year. Looks like October. I also am getting BTO (Bachman Turner Overdrive) for spring tour (2013) perhaps with ELI? Good match?
Productions

Mark, can you reserve Sat April 20th 2013 for the Lancaster Ponytails at the same location.
John R

Hi, We have set a date for May 18th of 2013! Are you available that date? Also, where are you performing over the next few weekends so my parents and/or fiance could get a chance to hear you live? Let me know. Thanks!
Jennifer

July 13th working on a show in my home town Batavia will have more info Wed.
Guy

Mark, my wife talked to you about our daughters wedding on memorial weekend (Sunday) 2013. Please let me know if Hit n Run is available and what your rates are.
Taz

Hi Mark, Thanks for responding….what day are you open? I don’t have a definite date set yet, although I am looking at Saturday Oct 27. According to your schedule you already have another event going on. Would you consider doing 2 events in one night? Thanks for your help. Sincerely,
Tracey

Thanks! Have them call me in my iphone before arrival to coordinate. FYI- I spoke to him. Plan on going to Midnight unless we get shut down. At that point, you will still have a song or two buffer. "If you play....they will come" the numbers will be good! Muchos Gracias my friend!
Frankie

Hi Mark, I am currently planning my wedding, and I was wondering if you play for wedding receptions? I see you are quite booked up for the September and October. Do you have any available dates open? Or you are not open to receptions. Let me know. Thanks Kelly
Kelly D

Hi Mark- Hope all is well. Seems like the band is doing great. On Saturday, August 4th we are having a charity event here at from 1-6pm. Here is our organizations website. I am sure you guys are booked for the evening, but I was wondering if you ever did double headers where maybe you could play our event for an hour and a half or so? It will be in the pavilion. If it is something you may be interested please let me know and an approximate on cost. I would be interested in hearing you thoughts on cost and if you have an numbers on how many fans generally follow you. Appreciate your time.
Marty M

Mark, thanks for all that you do for us. I know we don’t say it enough but thanks and here is a gift to show my appreciation.
Dan Kaplin

Thank God FOR Beer tent time!!! Being inside is getting old! J BEIFALL (cheers in German) !!! have a great memorial Weekend to you and your family and the Band… wish you guys would play at Sunset Bay again… my second home in the Summer. Take Care ~~
Dianne

Yes Pages Paradise is an excellent venue
Jim

Hit n Run, I see that you are not at the Chaffee Sardinia carnival???? You were already booked ;-( I’m totally sad
Miranda R

Yes, thanks Mark, for the tireless efforts !! Looking forward to any additional gigs with you guys !!
Phil (The Road)

How about Monday night after 8 to take a look at Chicken Coop?
Frank

Wow ur very busy lots of softball and band shows :)
Lynn

Let me know what Saturdays in April you have open next year so we can confirm our show.
JR

I will be at the ELI show (on Friday 6/1 at the FORVM). Thanks.
Bob C

mark: that was a very nice write-up about the band.... i'm just looking to come out like a hurricane friday. & you can bet on that... see you Wednesday 8:00
Paul B

Good Morning Mark! what time does Hit N Run play on Saturday at the chicken coup? Soooo, looking forward to it!!!! now I can just immerse myself in HNR. Have a great day!
-Mary

Mark, Kristina and I like Pages Paradise, and encourage you to get more shows there. From a fan's point of view, it is probably one of the best stages you play on. From a photographer's point of view, it's an easy place to shoot. It has lots of "natural" lite, so I don't need to use my flash very often. I know the staff also let Bob Caple go upstairs to take pictures from some different angles. That was nice of them. If you do play there again, it would ROCK if Widow Maker "crashed the party" and played some tunes with you again. I thought Guy was insane. LOL Kris & I will see you soon. Your friends,
Kris C & Jay P

I appreciate the opportunity
Jim

Mark,.....seriously, thanks for everything you're trying to do for this band. The best is yet to come!!
Mike Carroll (Founding member of Boys of Summer)

I enjoy seeing Hit n Run. .I am amazed you even know were there some times. So crowded.
Paula

The Lockport concert series has some good shows this year. I mean they’re not hitnrun but still good. ;-)
Bill A

MARK: YOU ARE INDEED A FINE HUMAN BEING, AS BUSY AS YOU ARE... MIKE HAS SAID IT & I WILL REPEAT IT.... AGAIN THANKS FOR SO MUCH YOU DO FOR US I LOVE YA WITH ALL MY HEART. HOW I WISH WE COULD HAVE MEET UP YEARS AGO I MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE DRUMMER FOR HIT & RUN ( I WOULD LOVE THAT ) I'M TRYING TO BOOK US FOR THE ITALIAN FEST IN JULY ON HERTEL AVE, & A SHOW (BACK TO SCHOOL OR END OF SUMMER CONCERT OUT SIDE @ THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS ON KENMORE IN AUGUST....
Paulie (ELI)

Yes def take more dates at pages..Its a nice place and big and i like going there...The chicken coop is a nice place as well..I think u will like it there. Mark u guys Always bring the crowd no matter where u guys go :)Have a great show Saturday and have a great weekend!! Hope 2 c u :)
Shellie

Mark, I have studied music and was top of my class and won some local awards for singing. I have seen your band several times. If you are ever looking for a female singer with strong leads and great harmonies, give me a call. You would not regret it.
Lisa

Did you hear my improvisation, when I said to the Macaroons crowd that this was the last home game of the season? I always consider Macs being your home field.
Jim

My friends saw you for the first time. They loved the show and will be out all summer.
Kristin

Thank u Thank u!! Always nice 2 c u and the band:) U better stop at Chautauqua I def will stop by and say hi 2 Nancy and Michael! Have a great show Saturday night, as i know u will! U r an Amazing singer! well just an awesome person all around! Consider urself lucky cause i dont say that 2 often about ppl, just because ppl r soo fake and those r the ones i delete..life is too short to deal with crap.
Michelle

Hope all is well any plans for the long weekend? I am on vacation after Friday till June 4th. Going to be 33 on May 30th can you believe it I was 28 when I met you ?
Melissa

hey....thanks for playing a few of the songs that i really liked for my birthday. We had fun. I can't wait for all the outdoor venues.
Paula

So i was looking at HNR sched and i was sad that when u guys r playing at the dock in early June ill b camping, but u guys r back at the dock end of June and my gf Michelle is coming home for a visit from Florida soo that works perfect..Love going to the dock! I almost joined there volleyball team.
Michelle

No problem and no rush. We are flexible. We have coordinated our annual “beer blast” fundraiser with your band for the last few years and it has worked out great for us. Anyway, the only dates that DON’T really work for us is Columbus Day Weekend 10/5-7 or Veteran’s Day Weekend 11/9-11. Let us know what you come up with. Thx…
Dave L

Hey Mark, would you like to open up for the Little River Band this year?
BJ

Mark, I heard that someone came up to you to mention the wedding we want to do with Hit n Run. It on Memorial weekend in 2013 and probably on a Sunday. Call me and we can discuss your rates and availability.
Taz (Union FC)

See I told you that hit and run would have a great crowd at Paradise, even though it was nice out and close to the summer. Now I will only be mad if you don’t have a few shows for me later in the year.
Bryan

Hi there, Thank you for your response! I've seen Hit N Run out several times and always had a blast dancing the night away. I am curious if you have availability in May of 2013, either May 11th or 18th. What does it include? I am thinking we would need a four hour time frame. Let me know. I look forward to hearing from you.
Jennifer G

Is there any way you can get us a date in October, even if we need to move around our schedule to match yours.
Fred

Mark, if you can do Sunday, July 29th, that would work for us. I know you are all booked up for weekends with Lawn Fetes.
Donna

We are cool then (for our show)! Thanks! Can't wait bro!
Frankie

Nice job and great crowd at Pages. See you always worry that it might be slow and you always have a packed house. If you build it, they will come. Anywhere hit and run plays is always a great time and big crowd.
Robbie

Hi Mark, Thanks for the birthday recognition at Paradise Island on Friday. The show was awesome as usual and I had a great time. SOOOO much fun!! Looking forward to the start of the "Beer Tent Tour". Thanks again....See you soon!
Patti N

Bryan said great, great job and he will be mad if hit and run does not have any dates for him later this year.
Amanda

Hi Mark, We had are meeting last night and the club wants us to stay at the time slot of 6-11. I know this raises your price. I have a budget that’s set for me and must stay within.
Julie M Smith

Mark, thanks again for letting me sing with you guys. It’s always a thrill to sing with an awesome group of musicians like hit n run. I had a great time as always! I’m sure you get suggestions on songs to do all the time but I’ll try anyway. 3 songs that I think would be very cool for you guys to do would be Jet- are you gonna be my girl. Mathew Sweet- girlfriend. Jessie J. –Domino. These would be a cool addition. Give it a thought. Keep rockin. See ya soon. Thanks again.
Pete

Having a great time in the Bahamas. Here is a picture of us here (with our Hit n Run shirt on).
Bill and Adina

Thank u! :) Ur the best! Hope u had a nice rest of ur weekend!
Shelly

I love our F-in Band. I had some place to be after the show on Saturday and could not do breakfast.
Guy Nichols

Mark, If there's a band from 7-9 and we go on at 9, what time are you guys arriving? Are we getting a sound check after the other band finishes? Or will you guys be set up early and do a sound check before 7 pm? Let me know what your plans are. Thanks,
Al

Oh my God, it is so funny! Dave has on Facebook a picture from last year at Ellicottville with you, me, David & Sarah - only he cropped it to just you & him. I laughed my ass off when he told me last night and laughed even hard when I seen it this morning. I attached it to this e-mail. He just cracks me up! I'll be at the chicken coup next Saturday for sure - too close to my home to pass it up - counting the days! As usual, I need my HNR FIX!!!
Mary

oh you're welcome. i just hope i can make the ELI show.....i have to wait for boss to bring out the schedule, for that week..
Bob

"Celebrating my birthday all weekend long!!!! Friday night at Pages Paradise Island and Saturday night at Macaroons!!!!!!! My favorite all-time band, Hit N Run playing both nights!!!!! It's going to be a good, good weekend!!!! Whoo hoo!!! I'll see everyone this weekend!! :)"
Lisa

we def will b at macs on Saturday
Stacey

We will see Hit n Run on Friday (at Pages Paradise Island)
Kim Mahoney

How should we hook up about (“E.L.I.” 3 Dog Night Tribute) tickets Boss?
Dan

Good Morning Mark: I put the Special Event information we spoke about yesterday in the mail to you. It is easier this way, because some forms are online and some are not, so I packaged them all together. As far as the “chain of command” around here, I’m pretty “low on the totem pole!” If you want to do this here is the best contact.
Ellen F

Looks like a great weekend u guys had :)Sry we didnt make it 2 Cheers..but my friends and i will b at Macs on Saturday for my bday celabration weekend..My actual bday is on the 22nd..Hope all is well
Michelle

To my favorite band hit n run. You are the Best!!!
Chris

Good Morning Mark! did you happen to see David's new facebook profile pic?
Mary

My boss said she thought she saw Hit n Run on Thursday at a small bar in Hamburg. I told her it wasn’t because there is always a large crowd to see that hot lead singer in the band. She said the crowd was small. Hit and Run was not playing. It must have been their drummer and singer filling in or stopping out.
Mandy

ELI has an opportunity to be the opener for The Guess Who or Talas, if we are all available.
Tom

Thanks for the pics, Mark. I do like the ones u do too!! Don't forget to play REO, BonJovi, Def Leppard and Crazy Bitch for me. And then Bad, Bad, Girlfriend and Metallica for my friend and driver for Friday night, Jen!!
Lisa

How was you day? Where is the gig 6/16/12? I need motivation. You can always make your sister smile
Melissa

I wanted to know if Hit n Run can play a graduation party on Sat July 15. Please call me with rates and to let me know if you are open.
Sheryl

We would like to book Hit and Run for our country club show in 2013. We wanted you this year, but you were already booked. My number is below. Please provide your rate and what availability in June 2013 that you may have.
Robert

Dear Mark, Thanks for the information. Do you have any of the days that I listed below available? I am finding with Lawn Fetes and weddings the days are going fast. Thanks!
Donna L

We were trying to book our annual hockey fundraiser at macaroons for later this year. Your website shows 10/20 as the date for playing there; however, the owner there has an arrow pointing to 10/27 in his books. Can we assume your website is correct?
Dave L

Hi Mark, I haven't seen a contract from you so thought I would send mine over. It's a very general contract you can send over one if you want. Just want to get are details setup. The price would be same as last year with food tickets. Performance will be 6-11 with breaks included payment day of show. We will have pop and water in cooler by stage. As always bring any adult beverage you would like for band with no problem.
Julie (Friendship festival)

Hey Pal....thanks again for your hospitality at Tony Romes! Great Food and even better conversation! Can you call me when you get a second about the 5/26 gig....promotion, advertisements, facebook, set-up, misc. on site needs, etc. Thanks!
Frank

I have followed your band for several years and really enjoy what you do. I have been asked to book a new larger club in the area and want to see if you can call me and let me know if you have an interest in playing there and what your rates are.
Brandon

We just had a last minute cancellation for a band we had booked for an outdoor show and a few people suggested Hit n Run. Please call as soon as possible.
Jeff

It was brought to my attention that your webpage lists your 2012 Gateway show as 8/22/12. As stated below and on your contract your date is 8/29/12. Please change the page to reflect the 8/29/12 date. Call me with any questions.
Rick

Speaking of nose dive, a friend of mine went to the Aud fri night at 11:30 (prime time) to see another local band (while you were a few blocks away at the Yellow Jaguar). There were 5 cars in lot, maybe 15 people in place, not good for Aud. (but great for you and Yellow Jaguar, which Hit n Run had packed.)
Ken

Pat, just wanted to let you know that your band (Hit n Run) did about three times the door sales and bar sales numbers combined in less time (10-2) at Rhino's than others do in playing twice as long from 7-2.
Bob

I'm gonna try to come out & see you guys Friday but, if you can believe this (still little shocked myself), I've got a date! If it ends early enough, I'll come see you. I'll prob need my HNR fix afterwards.
Mary

Love the quote :)
Michelle

Will see you at Page's on May 18th....
Patti

I want to let you know, I stay away from any show that is in a few mile radius of where your band is playing. That is sure death. LOL
Mike

We like to come out, it (Yellow Jaguar) was fun. We'll have to go see the prince next time. You know gotta give equal time. Ran into three people from PCB. We also ran into the daughter of a friend of ours while we were there. She said she was there a couple of weeks ago and there were no more than five people up in front of the band that night. What a difference. She didn't recall who the band was, but it was a pretty empty place. Looks like you had a full house. It took longer to get a drink Friday than it did on New Year's Eve.
Rick

Thanks Mark! The Birthday / HNR double header weekend was a lot of fun. I sure find out that I know a lot of people from seeing HNR. That's cool. Always got to have many friends. Hey one of my gifts was a pair of opening night tickets to see ELI on June 1st. Awesome huh?!?!? Ken K got me the tix. Sunday used the card. Cuban chicken panini with tortilla soup. Excellent!
Mark T

Hi Mark! I'm doing okay, counting down till beer tent season! Need to get my summer started! How are you doing?
Matt

A wild Triple Header indeed, capped off with the Fat Bottomed Girl Grand Finale, saved the best dance for last...hope you liked it.
Jim C

Hey Mark thank u sooo much! I dont know how u did it with 3 dogs.. Its my gf Sue's bday Saturday and we have a friends house 2 stop at that night and hopeing to get 2 Cheers..if for some reason if we dont because how much we have had 2 drink..then next Saturday my friends and i will b at macs for my bday weekend :) Hope all is well! and Miss u guys :)
Shelly

20 year anniversary party was awesome lol thanks for everything applebees was great. C u next week
Adina

What's knew and exciting in your world? I do a lot of out door running in Lackawanna I wear my hitnrun t shirts I get a lot of car beeps lol. You own running billboard lol
Melissa

Everybody loves you guys. No matter where I go, I run into someone with a hit and run bumper sticker or shirt, or if I or they mention they are seeing a band and say your bands name I find it amazing how often ths happens.
Carol

Wondering if the St Amelia gig June 2 is in Tonawanda (on Eggert) or in North Tonawanda as you have it listed. Should make the correction if need be It will also be the first show with Joanne (My Fiancee) and Dennis back from Florida.
Jim

Thats just cuz ur so popular n everyone ? u!!
Renee

You spoiled us. We had a party and had a very late start so we stayed local to see another band. I am spoiled. Between the music and the entertainment value we get with hit and run, we are disappointed whenever we see anyone else.
Steph

Thanks - we had fun the other night & you guys sounded great - as usual. Love, the other ½ of the 1 member of the 5 PETE BAND - Can you believe it has been almost 13 years since that party … ugh
Sharon

Hey Mark!! Might come out to see you guys Friday night!! One of these days I would like to play rosanna with you!! Take care and see you soon!!
Marty

Love the quote! Sorry I missed you Friday! Was in NC visiting Lina! Have to catch your next early show! Boston hotel soon!
Geri

Glad Hit N Run is here tonight, the mortgage is due.
Lori

We were downtown at a place called Cozumel for a Cinqo de Mayo party…after a little bit we looked at each other and said OK..we are done, lets go dance…off to Rhino's to see Hit n Run. We had fun.
Theresa

Guy, you are an absolute nut. You make my favorite band, even better. As if that was possible. LOL
Julie

Thank you, I really and truly appreciate the opportunity to do the Scooter. One day I will wear some baseball socks underneath my pants, so you can roll them up as I do the bases. That would be a riot
Jim

You guys all rock. My friends and I have a great night every time we come out. Don't ever stop playing because my weekends will be boring.
Paula

Amazing Crowd last week at your show. If you ever have a spot open in Hit n Run, I want a try-out.
Steve

Thank you for playing (at Medaille College for us), everyone loved you! And thank you for the pictures
Tara

Hit run is special to us we will keep it on the down low. We will send you pic from the Bahamas in our Hnr shirts
Bill

That's a great shot, me hammered and surrounded by a hot babe....plus a bunch of people that look as though they just walked over from the DMV (I should talk). I might be holding onto my last beer for a while in that picture though, I had a physical yesterday...not good. I will be back out there dancing like a fool as soon as I get the clearance to abuse my kidneys once again. Great show btw Mark!
Mike

Hit n Run Rules
Lisa

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

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.

Brian R

Kathy

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
John Bruso

Hey Mark!! You said "..but will typically have a few tickets for friends of the band." You should auction off said tickets to pay for a new camera! WE LOVE THE PICS!! ROCK ON!
Dave G

Dislike! i cant see u guys on Friday :( but i did hear that u r going to Rhinos 2night? If soo u can just sing to me there and i will get my fix :) Have a great day
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
Julie

Hi Mark!! Could you leave me a ticket for Saturday night at the door? Also, how much are they again? Thanks!! I'll be able to come for 2 and 1/2 hours (8-10:30pm).

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. It was a great time and hope we can have that same feeling at are festival. I look forward to hearing from you

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.
