HIT
N RUN (Guest Book) Send
us a comment to post
Clarence.
We are thinking if doing the event the 26,27,28 of June
are you available.
Carl
What
is the best way to contact you. We have a huge event and
have had the same band for years. I have seen the crowds
that you draw and want to have a local band do our show.
We would like to have Hit n Run perform next year and would
like to discuss it with you.
Ron
Nov
1 works, but the other two dates, I will have to check my
calendar when I get back.
Jack
Any
availability for Dec 27th for a 50th at Niagara Falls Country
Club?
Michele
H
Hi
Mark, wondering when you have dates at Macaroons next year.
We want to set up a fundraiser there when Hit n Run is there.
We are looking at March 7. It would be great if you can
make it available if you have not confirmed dates yet.
Tom
F
Great
Job. Sign us up for next 4th and 5th and give yourself a
raise
Paul
C
I
had such a ball sitting in for the great (vacationing!)
Annette Falasa with Hit N Run last weekend at the Erie County
Fair. Such nice guys and total pros and obviously you can
see from the photos that Guy Nichols and I really need to
lighten up... Thanks to Guy, Mark Valentino , Dan Kaplin
Pat Annunziata and Al Hury and Jim Wynne, for all the fun!
And how the heck did I miss a Buffalo Sabre and that Edmonton
Oilers guy there...?? ;D
Robbie
M (Studio 54)
We
used to see you at the Alden Carnival and we moved to Boca
(FL) and miss the group. If you are ever down here, look
us up.
Danny
Keefe
Can
you put on the website contact Jen at 608-1108 for tickets,
for our fundraiser beer blast on 9/12.
Jen
You
guys Jam!
Billy
I
proudly wear that Hit and run shirt here.
Kelly
When
is the next ELI show?
Sue
Can
you get a different color shirt for next year. Maybe Red?
I think you would sell a lot more.
Janice
We
will see you at 14 Holy Helpers!
Kerry
I
saw you on stage with another band at the fair singing all
summer long with Carl Russo (of 97 Rock). That was great
that you did that. It is my favorite song.
Mark
Hi
How are you guys doing? Where is the show address this Sat?
Melissa
I
stopped out to Annunciation both nights. What a difference
for the crowds. You guys Rock!
Alyson
The
hardest working band in Buffalo!
Ralph
My
husband and I bought a Hit n Run shirt at the last show.
We love you guys.
Christina
Cant
wait to see you (Hit n Run) at Infant of Prague
Sandy
Are
you guys under a tent at the Moonlight Run show?
Crystal
If
Al ever decides to stop playing, you should pick up his
son.
Tim
We
had such a great time at Annunciation. It was great to see
so many of the guys from softball there.
Ron
What
a blast at Annunciation. We danced all night.
John
Is
this you in the video I am attaching?
Joe
Ask
Pat where is that Yamaha board?
Matt
I
am trying to get all my friends out to see you Wed. I am
threatening peoples lives who are posting the booing
about Bon Jovi. Dont worry I got your back even though
I prefer Bon Jovi out of Buffalo.
Dianne
Are
you playing the Infant of Prague lawn fete on Aug 22, 23?
Debra
H
What
time is your show in Wed at Island Park?
Alan
B
We
saw you at St Marthas on Friday. We stopped there first
again on Sat but wound up dragging our friends to St John
Vianney after because we had so much fun the night before.
Ronny
I
would have killed to be at that gig OMG
Maureen
Let
me know when the Ellicotville show is for Oktoberfest. I
want to get a room for me and my wife and stay overnight
Frank
Hi,
Mark! We are happy to have you back for our 2015 Gala. Jane
forwarded your contract to me I will sign it and
get it back to you. I need you to send me an invoice for
the deposit. If you can send that invoice to me, I will
get it paid and back to you. Thanks,
Karen
Sat
12/20 works great. I will plug it in. Please let me know
about other dates you are available I would rather plug
you in first before I talk to other bands. Thanks Mark
Bryan
Page (The Cove)
Yes,
11/1 is fine. Let me know for sure. How about adding a September
show?
Jack
(Howdys)
I
wanted to see if you are interested in a special party at
the Hearthstone Manor. Even if you are playing that night,
we could do a happy hour.
Chris
N
Hi
Mr. Valentino Our company is having a winter party
on February 21st and we are interested in booking your band
if you are available. We also were wondering if you take
wire transfers/check as we would need to set you up as a
vendor through our corporate office. I have attached all
the forms necessary. Please let me know if this is a possibility.
I really appreciate it!
Alexis
Mark
Thank you very much from both Tony and myself. Tony
and I realize that your band goes above and beyond what
they are required to do and Tony has voiced his thoughts
on the band selections in the past and plans on being outspoken
about it for next year, according to Tony your band brings
in the biggest crowd and beer dollars and thats what
counts. Thank you again
Kathy
S
I
think you might have taken some pics of me at St John Vianney.....If
you can send it to me, would be appreciated!!! SO much fun.
Again, thanks for such a great time at SJV.
Renee
Any
interest in bowling on Wednesday nights we need a 5th and
could use an extra 200 plus average bowler?
Dave
K
Hi
MarkIt would be at Salvatores and we would need
the band from 8:00-11:00. Ron is my dad
Alexis
It
is no wonder why your band is so popular. You do a great
job at such a wide variety of material. You have this charismatic
gift of grabbing the crowd and really making the night fun
for them. My wife and I enjoyed the show thoroughly.
Joe
Can
you please make sure you bring one large and one extra large
Hit and Run shirt to your show this weekend for us. We are
going on vacation and I want to take pics for your website.
Angela
Hi
Mark, Hope you are well. Just confirming our JDRF show which
is set for January 24, 2015 at the Adams Mark hotel. Do
you need a deposit and if so please send me all of the info.
Thank you, looking forward to having you again.
Jane
Hi
Mark, Here is the signed contract, please countersign and
return. Thx
Dave
P
We
would like Sat June 20th. That will work out well and if
you can confirm, we will lock in that date and weekend.
Wayne
That
was the best I ever heard you sound at the Erie County Fair
on Sat. The band looked like they were all having fun, running
around.
Mark
Rohloff
Hi
Mark Great job last night! Attached is the W-9 we
need filled out to cut the check to you. You can email it
to me when its completed. Thanks!
Katie
Hi
Mark: Sorry for the delay
contract and deposit being
mailed to you today. Thanks!
Elaine
Thank
you, very much Mr. Valentino! I appreciate the time and
effort.
Tom
W
Mark,
I just spoke with the committee and the contract will be
sent out to you later this week. Please let me know that
you received it. Thanks
Ralph
Mark,
Hello Rob C here. Can you please tell me who is doing your
sound for 14HH lawn fete 8-22? and contact information,
i have a power requirement question. thank you,
Rob
I
cant believe you had Jim Wynne playing with you. He
is a monster player.
Al
Hi
Mark, A huge thanks to you and the band for an awesome show
last night at St. John Vianney lawn fete! Everyone had a
great time. Loved all of it.... soooo much fun. You guys
are the best. See you soon.
Pat
Thank
you so much for getting back to me! Will be following your
band around at the lawn fetes, as we always do! I believe
we are still planning to see you all sing our favorites
over the summer. I can't imagine that ever changing! Thank
you again, Mark!
Sherry
HI
MARK JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO YOU AND YOUR BAND FOR
PLAYING AT BISHOP TIMON. WOULD LIKE TO DO IT AGAIN THE 3RD
FRIDAY OF JUNE 2015 LET ME KNOW .. THANKS AGAIN
MATTY
I
was just getting in touch with to see if you are available
on Saturday, February 7, 2015. I know you needed to check
the date for another event first.
Erika
Mark:
I just penned a deal with Dave G for sound for the entire
weekend.
Tim
Let
me know which dates work, so I can set up my schedule and
promotions. I would like to do a show once every 3-6 weeks.
Jody
I
went to the Chamber of Commerce yesterday and John C asked
me to say hi to you. He asked if your son was up on stage
at the lawn fete.
Kathy
If
time ever allotted (haha) I think it would be a pretty good
draw for a special kind of show. Youve got a lot of
spare time on your hands. Figure it out. LOL
Bernadette
Trinca (Party of 9)
Mark,
I am very sorry about that. I will order a new check right
away and have it sent out to you. Can you void the other
one out and send it back to me
Joe
We
love rocking out with you guys all summer. :-)
Theresa
I
am seriously thinking of having you play on Sat nights.
This way we have a built in crowd similar to Club Paradise.
I would have a small country band open for you and then
have you kill it as a party band! Opener 8-9:30 and Hit
n Run from 10-2
Big
Jack (Howdys)
Hi
Mark, hope youre enjoying your summer. Just touching
base for the fall and winter months. Hoping we can still
do our theme parties as well as a couple of other dates.
Please reach out when you get a chance. I would rather book
you first before I start filling in my calendar. Thanks.
Talk to you soon,
Bryan
(Cove)
I
would like to have Hit n Run at our club every 5-6 weeks
if possible.
Dave
Keep
rocking and play what you want to play. Dont
let the sports mentality get in the way of the arts.
Pete
Can
we confirm next years shows?
Ken
I
cant believe it. You guys have now made national acclaim.
You are trending on yahoo. They are saying how people boo
when you (a local cover band) play Bon Jovi. They dont
mention Hit n Run specifically, but embedded a video clip
from your show at Queen of Heaven. Everyone in WNY knows
it is Hit n Run they are referring to. Here is the link
on the yahoo timelinehttp://sports.yahoo.com/news/banned-in-buffalo--movement-among-bills-fans-gives-bon-jovi--his-music-a-bad-name-220255703-nfl.html
Jerry
I
am glad that you are playing their (Bon Jovi) tunes and
not playing politics. Keep it up guys!
Dave
E
Thank
you for playing making my daughters day and for playing
Living on a prayer for my little 7 year old. We grew up
in Buffalo and now live out of state. While home and driving,
we listen to your CD and it was the first time she got to
see Hit n Run live. She wanted to hear that Bon Jovi song
so bad because it is her favorite and I told her you play
it well. She was so disappointed when you did not play it
the day before, she was heartbroken. Thanks for understanding
and playing it the following night for her. It made her
night. We will probably see you in the fall or next year
when my husband and I and our daughter make our way back
to see family in Buffalo.
Barbara
(I
want to tell them to) Stop Hating Bon Jovi!! Hes not
going to get the team, and the Bills are going to stay put!!!!
Kim
M
Great
job at M&T!
Roselle
I
love when you guys perform Bon Jovi
Sherry
I
play for a few local bands. We have a Bon Jovi tribute medly
in one band, so far no idiots booing. As musicians and entertainers,
we bust our butts every week and all we really want is a
receptive crowd. You guys know this more than anyone. You
probably play more (large shows) than ANY local band. I
learned that you will never completely please everyone (all
the time) at a show, especially a drunken beer tent. Im
just trying to stick up for us hard working local musicians.
Sick of ignorant people. Keep Rockin!
Steve
Lopez
Mark,
you are awesome bro
Artie
Nice
job downtown. What a variety of songs. I think you need
some new fans. Like you really needed anymore ;-)
Tom
Tell
Annette great job on Pinks Raise your glass
John
Hi
Mark, I just wanted to say that I admire you and your accomplishments
Nick
I
have seen you for several versions and the latest lineup
that you have had for a few years now is my all time favorite.
Al is just such a great drummer. Annette not only sings
great lead, she has really made the group vocals (harmonies)
even better.
Tom
G
Keep
doing what you are doing. Dont let some drunk guys
dictate what you guys do or what the majority of us want
to hear.
Kelly
No
matter how many times we stop out it never gets old and
your entertainment is greatly appreciated
Theresa
Danny
makes those guitar riffs look too easy. One of my favorites
for Dan and Annette is the Melissa song that you do, Like
the way I do. Make sure you do that and dedicate it to me
and my wife the next tie we are out.
Marty
You
know that I am good friends with you. I just wanted to let
you know some of the things that the local radio station
is doing and saying because you are performing Bon Jovi
songs. I understand it is still great publicity, and it
is not like you need the extra publicity or fans with every
show already packed, but I just (as a friend) wanted to
let you know in case you want to change things for this
upcoming weeks performance
Bill
We
are going away on vacation and bringing our shirts. We will
take some pictures and wanted to know how we get them on
the fans on vacation part of your website? Do we just email
them to you directly via the website?
Dawn
Mr
Valentino, thanks for a fun evening. The band was hot tonight.
You the Man!
Kevin
He
does not get that he is burning bridges with this whole
anti Bon Jovi thing. It is not helping (his fundraisers)
Guanches Unite when it comes to getting big donations from
entertainers, thats for sure
Pete
I
love watching the jealous comments. You know if Hit n Run
was not that popular, they would never bring your name up
and make it a such a big deal. I would be more worried when
or if people stopped talking about you. LOL
Pat
My
little one had such a great time at Old Home days. She asked
when can we see Hit n Run again.
Amy
I
always get a kick out of watching GUYs Girls,
the ones with the Guys Girls T-Shirts up front
Steve
Tell
Pat, everyone appreciated the great job he and the band
did at the Italian Festival.
Mike
You
know you are a great guy
Andy
Thanks
for giving a shout out to our company. No matter how many
times you say it, it never gets old.
Joe
Great
show tonight Mark. As usually you guys put on a great show.
Thanks for come sail away. Hope to talk to you next time,
that is, if you take a break ;-)
Tony
Hi
Mr. Valentino Our company is having a winter party
on February 21st and we are interested in booking your band
if you are available. We also were wondering if you take
wire transfers/check as we would need to set you up as a
vendor through our corporate office which requires the following
information to do soW9, wire transfer, and non-disclosure.
I have attached all the forms necessary. Please let me know
if this is a possibility. I really appreciate it!
Alexis
Great
job last night. Frank and I would like to bring you back
for next year. Thanks again.
Joe (Italian Festival)
HI
MARK JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO YOU AND YOUR BAND FOR
PLAYING AT BISHOP TIMON. WOULD LIKE TO DO IT AGAIN THE 3RD
FRIDAY OF JUNE 2015 LET ME KNOW .. THANKS AGAIN
MATTY
I
was just getting in touch with to see if you are available
on Saturday, February 7, 2015. I know you needed to check
the date. Thank You,
Erika
You
guys were amazing and stole the show. We want you to reserve
next year for us and pick whatever time slot that you want.
Ralph
(Taste of Buffalo)
Mark:
I'm looking to use one sound guy for the weekend. Who do
you recommend? Thanks,
Tim
Are
you doing any shows at Howdys this fall?
Big
Jack
If
you are still interested in working together, let me know.
Jody
Hit
n Run did a great job at the Italian Festival. Mark and
Annette and the band just captured the crowd. Mark you have
an amazing vocal range and Annette sounds fabulous. Tell
the rest of the band that you were all perfect for closing
the Italian Festival.
Frank
Scinta
Morning
Mark Just throwing this your way if youre interested.
An acquaintance called me yesterday and asked if I knew
anyone from hit-n-run. I guess he is going to have a benefit.
I told him I would email you, (didnt want to give
out your number) but think he wants to hire the band. His
name is and number are attached. Dont have any other
details.
Doug
Where
are you playing this weekend.
Marissa
I
will see you at M&T on Friday and then St Marthas
Laurie
Great
show (Italian Festival)! I enjoy watching you be your old
self again. Your charisma on stage was contagious tonight.
Keep moving forward my friend and wearing it well. Good
night.
Melissa
I
came all the way back home to hear you and you did not play
my Bon Jovi song or Pour some sugar on me. Now I will have
to come out next week before I leave for home. You have
to play my song.
Sandi
Had
such a great time! SEE YOU SOON!
Mary
I
loved being a Hit n Run backup singer
Lorie
Great
set last night.
Tom
Hit
n Run was in an article about beer tents. Bee what it says
at the end... I'm sure you'll get a kick out of it. http://www.trendingbuffalo.com/life/truth-beer-tents-suck/
Brad
My
friend thought you (Hit n Run) were great. We had such a
good time.
Jackie
David
Anderson of TrendingBuffalo.com mentioned Hit n Run in his
Beer Tent article. Did you see it?
Terry
Mark,
can you sub for my sons softball team on Wed?
Ron
Great
performance.
Jim
C
Did
the pics that I sent you of your show go through to the
website?
Sandi
People
should be more understanding that some of us like and want
to hear Bon Jovi. Even though we are Bills fans. It is about
enjoyable music, not about us wanting the Bills to move.
Carol
Fabulous
job at Old Home Days. You do a great job.
Lou
I
had so much fun the other day at Old Home Days. I will be
coming to a lot more shows. You guys are super talented
and a lot of fun
Theresa
What
time do you play the taste of Buffalo?
Scott
C
Hey
Mark, just curious if anyone got a hold of you about Tim
Book's bachelor party.
Styx crew
Thanks
for the pic.......will see you at the Taste this weekend.
I will see you the following weekend at SJV. Can't wait
!!
Pat
Mark,
Please send us a list of your available dates. Typically
we have bands start playing at 10pm and go until last call
at 2am. Our sound guy is also copied on this e-mail in case
you need to ask him any questions.
Todd
Mark,
we are looking at a few possible dates for our event next
year and wanted to see if you are available either the week
of June 13th or Fri June 27th
Wayne
Great!
Please send me a contract
Karen
Good
Morning Mark, I wanted to verify that your mailing address
has not changed. Will the number of entry & parking
passes that the band will need for this years performance
at the Erie County fair be the same as well? Looking forward
to seeing you fair. Thank you-
Diane
Are
you available for a private party later this year?
Rose
Hi
there, My fiancé and I recently saw your show at
St. Amelias and loved it. We are wondering if your band
does weddings at all? It would be next summer. Please let
me know and I will follow up with more questions......Thanks,
Tracey
Mark
& HitnRun, Paulie & E.L.I., I know you gents do
not live on FB. Last week I posted an announcement of my
pending Retirement in re: Concert Photography. That this
will be the last year of me Capturing images of WNY and
the talented Musicians. You Two have made these last Few
years a Fun time for me with my Camera. I cannot thank you
both enough and properly for believing in my ability and
allowing me to hang. I Have got to meet and hang with some
of the best Musicians (some B.M.H.F'ers and some not) right
here in WNY. The Dignity and Respect you have shown me over
the years has been a heartfelt gratitude by me to all of
you. I cannot express the proper thanks back at you all
for allowing me to capture. I have no regrets knowing that
this is the final year of my efforts to capture "the
best WNY Talent". Thanks for the Ride WNY Music Community.
It will be nice to be just a fan coming out to listen to
the music that you all craft. Music Fills the soul like
nothing else in this world. Keep filling everyones
Souls. The world will be better for it. Keep on Rockin
in the free world!
Dan
We
might see you on Saturday
Melissa
Are
you playing at Erikas wedding next year. I recommended
you guys

of Heaven to celebrate my birthday!

Hi
Mark: Thanks for calling me right back today
we are
looking forward to another great holiday party with Hit
n Run! As we discussed you will pencil us in for Saturday,
December 6 at either Holiday Valley or the bar across the
street (old Cadillac Jacks new name TBD). They
plan to open around the beginning of December and are holding
December 6 for us. If that wont work we will probably
just stay at the Lodge at Holiday Valley for the after party
for the Holiday Party. Thank you!
Elaine
Great
job at our event. We would like to talk about next year
and confirming as soon as possible.
Wayne
Hope
things are well. I'm assisting booking/promoting and doing
sound at the new Dinosaur BBQ in Buffalo and am wondering
if you have any projects that would fit well there. It's
a great gig. Let me know your thoughts. thanks!
Andrew
B
mark,
just wanted to run this by you for the new place Rockstarz
(next to backstage pub) at the best western on dingens.
A LOT of talk about one of your current clubs being done
soon, If that is the case keep me in mind on some of those
fall/winter dates. Thanks again
Dave

Hi
Mark, Are we all set for our show this month? Also, the
committee would like to know if you are available on Sat
June 27, 2016 (besides your 2015 date)? Thanks
Karen
I
am looking at bands for a banquet in Nov. 8 or 15th. Can
you give me a price for a three hour gig? Thanks!
Kathy

I
AM LOOKING FOR SOME BOOKING INFORMATION FOR OUR UP COMING

DANA
To
Whom it May Concern: I am the Chair of the Student Programming
Board at Canisius College. We are currently working on planning
our Welcome Back Week for the Fall and were looking to book
a live band for our annual bonfire, which will take place
on August 28 from approximately 7pm to 10pm with breaks.
We were wondering if Hit N Run would be available at this
date and time and if so, if you would be able to quote us
a price for that time. Thank you,
Emma
Hi
there! I had Facebooked you regarding your interest in possibly
playing a 40th birthday party in September! We haven't nailed
down a date as of yet. Thinking it might be in the Town
Of Lancaster. But we are also considering doing it at the
Boys & Girls Club, or another venue like a hall. What
would you charge? Friends and I come out to see you quite
a bit, and love EVERYTHING YOU PLAY! So that's why I contacted
you. Thanks for any consideration you might give this birthday
celebration! Sincerely,
Sherry
Mark,
Thanks for the reply. I do not know the time yet as it will
be dictated by TV. You would typically play at 3:30pm. What
would be your time frame to be able to play? What is your
booking rate?
Todd
G
I
am sponsoring your band for the event?
David
Greetings,
It is with great pleasure that I write to you today to invite
your band to perform at the 2014 Roswell Park Concert for
a Cure. This will take place on Saturday August 9th at Canalside
in Downtown Buffalo, NY. All proceeds raised from the Concert
for a Cure go directly to cancer research at Roswell Park
Cancer Institute. I hope that you will find this cause as
meaningful and exciting as I do and hope to see you on stage
August 9th at Canalside. Kindest regards,
Corey
Hi!
I am the Special Events Manager at Mount Mercy Academy in
South Buffalo. I absolutely love your band and would love
for you guys to do a show at MMA. As you may know we are
a non-profit, private high-school so we are constantly planning
fundraisers for the Academy and the girls. I am wondering
what the cost would be for a Friday or Saturday show in
January or February in the school gym. We think it would
be so fun to have you guys here. (If you look me and 3 of
my girlfriends are in most of your summer lawn fete pics,
ha ha.) We were hoping to book the band for our annual 5K
Race and Post Party next June but we know you book up fast.
So if you are available the 1st or 2nd week in June 2015,
we would love to have you guys. Thank you! I look forward
to hearing from you!
Leanne
Hello,
I am contacting you to get your avails this Fall and Winter.
I am one of the owners at Good Times and would like to have
you guys play at our place at some point this coming season.
We are specifically looking at November 15th or December
13th if you have either of those dates free. We would also
need to confirm and approve pricing. We have most of our
own equipment and our own sound technician so that should
help out some. I would be happy to put you in touch with
him as well if you have any questions. Here is a link to
our website. Look forward to your reply. Thanks,
Todd
Hello,I
have a question. My wife turns 30 on 06/29 (Sunday). I was

Hi
guys, I am a volunteer for Buffalo Porchfest, an event scheduled
for May 17 in the Elmwood Village. Basically, Porchfest
consists of local bands and musicians playing on neighborhood
porches for anyone who wants to come by and watch. It's
a great event, very unique, and a lot of people will be
out and around. It's a genuinely fun day and a good opportunity
for exposure to one of Buffalo's most sought-after audiences.
Would Hit-n-Run be interested in performing? The event runs
from 1 pm to 6 pm! Anyhow, I hope all is well, and please
feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you, and
have a great day
Ben
Good
Morning, My fiance and I are getting married on August 29,
2015 and we are very interested in booking Hit N Run to
perform at our evening reception. I know you guys book up
very quickly (as you should, because you're the best) so
I wanted to inquire as to your availability on that date.
Are you open to doing weddings? If so, are you open to driving
out to Ellicottville for one? Thank you for your help! My
best,
Meghan
Could
you please donate a CD for our fundraiser. Thank you very
much for your time and consideration. God Bless Our Veterans!

Hey
Mark, Its Deanna again! I know we tried to hook up last
year for you to try and help out the Alzheimers Association.
I was thinking last night and I wanted to see if this is
something that you would be interested. I was just wondering
if you would want to pick a concert dates that I can work
with bar owners to sell 50/50 at for some Blondes vs. Brunettes
to attend? I was thinking of promoting it as Blondes vs.
Brunettes going on tour with Hit N Run? Please
let me know what you think so we can just drum up some additional
funds for the Alzheimers Association. I hope you are
well. Thank you,
Deanna

Hey
Mark, It's Linda Fitzpatrick, you played our wedding rehearsal
party two years ago, remember Joanne Browning begged you
to cancel your booked show and do our party....but we changed
our wedding date instead. Anyway, I am on the committee
for the Parks Gala. Its a black tie fundraiser in the city,
geared towards preserving and restoring the parks and designs
in Buffalo. can you guys be our entertainment? We also have
a budget so what would it cost? This event generally brings
out the elite of Buffalo, so it should be a blast. Thanks,
and look forward to hearing from you ASAP.
I
was out of town for the past two weeks, so I was supposed
to get this info weeks ago.
Linda
Mark,
I tried a number of times to send the below e-mail to you
at the other e-mail address but it kept bouncing back. Mark
Yes we're very interested there would be two sets starting
at 7:00 PM (7:00-8:15) break then (8:30-9:45) approx. If
we have an opening act is would be a duo from about 6-7
pm. Yes we need you to bring your own sound as you may remember
this is a large outdoor park and this would be our Independence
Day Celebration with fireworks so we expect a large crowd.
BTW the rain date is the next day Tuesday July 1st Send
me a contact ASAP Thanks
Lee
Yes
please. I know it's summer and you probably have requests
that's why I asked a year in advance. Thanks...
Katey

Chinese Auction, 50/50 and sports memorabilia raffles. Can
you please advertise this on your page and facebook page?
Thanks,
Jennifer
Greetings,
I am working on a poster for your show at Buff State and
would like to use a picture. A good on-stage photo with
2 or more members of the group would be my preference but
an official band group pic is fine or what ever you can
send. The highest resolution you have is also good since
it will be a printed poster. Thanks.
Dave
You
are really a great group.
Amy
Here
is my email, Can you add me to your weekly mailing?
Cheryl
Send
me a copy of the pics to the attached email

Hello
Hit'N Run, My name is Ryan I'm the promotions and events
manager at Howdy's. I was hoping to get a logo from you
for the Facebook events page for your show at Howdy's Currently
I have 3200 event invites out on Facebook and the ad is
running in Nightlife magazine next week. Also I just put
through the calendar into Artvoice and Gusto this week so
it should be posted there shortly. We are already taking
phone calls of people interested in ticketing for your upcoming
show and we are anticipating that this could be a sell out
crowd of 785 people so we will be putting on a full staff.
Let me know if there is anything else you need or any requests
of myself or the staff. Respectfully,
Ryan
HEEYYYYY!!!
My bday is this month and im celebrating it w my friends
and with the best singer around.

Mary
Hi
Mark. Only a month away - yikes! The ceremony is going to
take place at the castle on the second floor. Jamie is the
contact for any questions regarding sound systems etc. The
bouquet toss/garter at 10 sounds about right. The toasts
will be before dinner (and too much drinking) - hopefully
the castle has one we can use. You will be doing the introductions
and Michelle will give you a list of the people along with
how to say the names. As it gets closer, it's a matter of
all the final details. Let me know when it's good to finalize
everything. Thanks
Gretchen
It
should be a great night (at Howdys on Fri 4/25/14)
Jack
You
can use that image if you ever want to. We loved Best of
times. How the hell are you able to sustain that high range
at the end of that? Was a jaw dropper. Well done.
Dan R
I

Any
word on a Wed show for us?

Hey
Mark, was wondering if you would like to do one more date
here before your busy season (beer tent tour) gets into
swing. Thought the last two dates went great. Hope to hear
from you soon.
Bryan
Page (Pages and The Cove)
Hey
Mark, you played our wedding rehearsal party two years ago,
remember Joanne begged you to cancel your booked show and
do our party, but we changed our wedding date instead. I
am on the committee for the Parks Gala. Its a black tie
fundraiser in the city, geared towards preserving and restoring
the parks and designs in Buffalo. I.e. the lights, park
and its buildings, the rose gardens, lake, and the casino,
and numerous other projects. For anyone who remembers the
city when humbolt parkway was actually a park and not the
198 expressway, then they would appreciate the task of future
plans to return the parkway to a park with underground thoroughfare.
Yes a large task, but attainable in the next 10 years! Thus
the reason for the annual Gala. What do you think, can you
guys be our entertainment? We also have a budget so what
would it cost? This event generally brings out the elite
of Buffalo, so it should be a blast. Thanks, and look forward
to hearing from you ASAP.
Linda
F
Can
we go ahead with making signs posters for lawn fete thanks
ps just give me the address to send the information ..

Hi
Hit n Run. I just want to let you know there is not a lot

My

in looking to see where Hit n Run was playing. They came
to the wrong building and my friend said they are a few
buildings down. The couple said where? At the building where
there is no parking. My friend said, yes, Hit n Run is pretty
popular and a big deal in this town. I had to laugh and
tell her I will tell you when I see you at work.

I

Home days show. I will check into our event (Wed in Aug)

show...the love of music/and support of local musicians
is ALWSYS worth the frost bite...
Sam
Hello
Hit n Run, I am emailing to inquire about booking
your band for an office Holiday Party. We are
an Insurance Agency based in Downtown Buffalo. I have personally
seen your performances, and I think you are awesome! Our
Holiday Party will be held at a historical club in Downtown
Buffalo, however the date is TBD. It may seem early, but
I know how popular of a band you are, so I wanted to book
as soon as possible. Please feel free to contact me, so
we can discuss if you are available, prices, set up requirements,
etc. I look forward to hear back from you! Thanks!
Christina
Good
Morning! We are a small not-for-profit theatre organization
that holds an annual fundraiser (A clambake & benefit).
More info about our org can be found on our website. Last
summer, we had 400+ in attendance. This year, our goal is
600+. The scheduled date is Friday June 27th from 5pm -
10pm. Can you please tell me if you are available and what
your fee is? We are having a committee meeting today and
it would be great to know. Thanks!!
Gina
I
was wondering if you do weddings. If so, I was looking at
2/7/15 and how much. Tim recommended you. Thank you,
Erika
We
are coming out this weekend to celebrate our friends birthdays
(Mindy and Amber). We have to try and embarrass them a little
Noelle
Yeah
TGIF!!!! I need to get out. I am going to try to make it
to the Hit n Run show tonight. Need to see the band and
dance
Melanie
Dan,
my favorite song that you play lead is Dont tell me
you love me. That one looks so difficult.
Sal
What
a difference a year makes. Annette seems so much more comfortable
and she really shines lately and sounds great adding her
lead vocals and great harmonies to an already stellar vocal
group. Any thoughts of doing Madonna or Gloria Estefan for
the dancers, or Heart or Fleetwood Mac for us Classic Rock
fans?
Michael
Going
to see if I can make it out this weekend at the club with
some friends
Dana
I
did not realize that I was in the presence of a local celebrity
and how popular you are. First my sister tells me she and
several of her friends watch you a few times a month, then
I ran into friends of the family, this married couple that
sees you at all the early shows in the summer. I did not
know you were that famous
Bill
When
you get a chance can you call me on some dates we are interested
in using Hit n Run for
Peter
Mark.
Have you made any decisions on the 3 venues we discussed?
Ying's on Thursday, Niagara(Grand Island), and the one in
Buffalo (Lancaster.) Thanks
Jerry
Mark,
We had a great time! Were looking at dates for our
2015 event!!! Ill be in touch soon.
Dan
Mark
One of the other rooms is interested in a fall date. I have
made them and they would like to get a date. I only have
a couple things scheduled for the fall at this point so
could look at almost anything date wise. Let me know if
you have a date I can offer him
Bill
Can
you send me back the contracts for Hit n Run and ELI for

Hi
Mark, We are still waiting to hear the confirmed date of
the party before we set anything in stone, but I do have
a couple of questions for you. Do the rates go by how long
you would be on stage? Typically at our parties the band
plays form 8-midnight, so roughly 4 hours. How big of an
area do you need to set up all your equipment? How long
would you need to set up you equipment? Im very excited
for our party this year; I look forward to hearing back
from you! Thanks!

and how best to move forward. Thank you,
Scott & Nicole
We
are all set for the two shows. If you want to start earlier
9 or 9:30 that is OK by me.
Bryan
I
was at the meeting for our Williamsville Octoberfest. I
told the chair that you are interested in playing again
and she said that they all want Hit n Run back.
Linda
I
am at the cove. Is there a chance we can start earlier at
9:30. We will have drink specials too.
Jody
We
are doing the original benefit at the Moose on May 3rd and
I got Patti Parks to play. I think they are more subdued
for this venue/ type of event. But, Macaroons might not
be a bad idea. I don't know him though so we will see. I
know you are booked up for most of summer, but maybe just
doing it at the a Chicken Coop down the street, it is good
and outdoors too. Just do wine and beer...I'll look into
it also. Do you have their number? Much appreciated! Warm
regards,
Sarah
Can
you get me some pictures of the band so I can use them our
promotional posters for our show on 4/5 in Lancaster at
St Marys school. Last year we had over 800 people
and hope to have more this year.
John
B (St Marys Tropical Dreaming)
Mark,
I brought into work the article with you in it for the Lancaster,
Depew Bee. For once it is not about Hit n Run but instead
about your microphone line at PCB. I thought you would like
to see it or would want a copy.
Alyson
Hey
Mark, can you give me a call when you get a chance.
Jerry
M (Rhapsody records)
My
friends come to see you every weekend. When I started at
PCB
I messaged some of them and told them you will
never guess who I work with and who is training me at PCB.
They were jealous. LOL
Bill
One
more thing...do you require an awning over the performance
area? As I mentioned we will be indoors if inclement weather.
Jim
C
So
I get into work and I get this email with your picture in
it, sent to me. My neighbors were at your show last Friday
at Samuels. Can you autograph the picture for me so I can
give it to them. They follow your band all around. He and
his wife will get a kick out of the autographed copy.
Lea
I
have a question on your schedule. It shows Fri for both
days but shows the Yellow Jaguar on 2/14 and Tony Romes
on 2/15. Can you tell me which day is Tony Romes?
Stephen
Can
I get a CD for one of my friends who loves your band?
Christina
What
time do you start on Valentines day at the Yellow
Jaguar. I want to bring my girlfriend out on a special date.
We have not seen you since the summer and dont go
to a lot of bars. We hibernate in the winter and do things
indoors. But since it is Valentines day, we wanted to see
our favorite local band. Looking forward to beer tent tour
2014!
Michael
What
is the deal with the Cove show. I want to have a private
party for my family on the day you are playing. Can we rent
out upstairs and also see your band? Can you send me a contact
name and number? Tx!

owner requested we start at 7:30 I tried getting them to
back up your start time to 9:30.
Joanne
I

Michelle
Mark, I mentioned to you a while ago about a possible donation
to a local charity. The money was raised at the Wednesday
Night Gateway Harbor Hit-N-Run Concert (Tonawanda Canal
- August 28th). My uncle, Ken Kopra, on behalf of the Knights
of Columbus (Twin City Council) was responsible for collecting
the tips from the beverage sales and picking the charities
to which they were distributed. We thought that the Rockin
with Santa event would be a good spot for the money raised,
$600, from the Hit-N-Run concert. The helps buy/distribute
Christmas presents to needy kids in the Tonawanda area.
If you wouldnt mind, on behalf of Hit-N-Run, mention
the donation on the bands website. Let me know what
you think. Thank you,
Chris Kopra
Another fun night at Hit N Run! Terry and I had bar seats
so he wouldn't go up front as much but still fun. Thanks
for a much needed "date night.
Tammy
Hi Mark, Thanks for getting back to me. I look forward to
meeting you. I have a conference call tomorrow at 1pm, so

July 12th from 7p-11p in our new lawn fete style beer tent?
Itll be located where the main (TOPS) stage was on
Delaware in Niagara Sq. so load in/out will be very easy
from West Eagle. Well be heavily promoting the new
tent and the new hours on all our media including tv and
radio. Plus, if you join us, I know you do an awesome job

let me know if you have any questions. Feel free to email
or call. Thank you Mark!

once in a while. If your interested please let me know..
Im sure you guys hear from many musicians! Thanks for your
time !!

I was told the band at the post race party was phenomenal.
I came in and thought it was the radio playing. But after
listening to 2-3 songs that I thought was the dj, I looked
up and saw it was your band. I could not believe how exact
you played come sail away. It blew me away.

My friend was in rare form and came in from out of town
and wanted to see Hit n Run. You were off so we saw the
hair band. She was so happy to see Mark sing (Loving, Touching,
Squeezing) a Journey song with them. She said at least I
got my chance to see a little bit of Hit n Run after all
before I had to leave town and go home.

Hi
Mark, You would be the closing act from 8:30-10:00.There
would be 3-4 bands prior to you. We would supply everything
you need all you do is show up and plug in. You would have
15 mins. for sound check. We would love to showcase your
band as we think we'll get a really nice crowd at the rink
to see you. We are putting all other bookings on hold until
we get a confirmation from you, thanks.

Hi,
I'm Pam, an employee of a non-profit senior care campus
in Clarence. We have hosted an outdoor summer concert series
for a number of years and they have grown in popularity
and attendance. Next summer (summer 2014) we hope to expand
from two or three concerts to six. After asking many people
about the best band in WNY, Hit and Run was mentioned several
times. Could you please reply to this email and let me know:
How much would you charge for this type of evening event?
We are a non-profit organization so our pockets are not
very deep. We have had helpful sponsors in the past and
hope to expand that in 2014, but need to have an idea of
how much we would need to raise. The concert series is offered
as a service to our community; no admission fee is charged.
If weather or other incident prevents us from hosting the
outdoor concert, it is very difficult for us to reschedule
for another evening. Is this a consideration for you? Thank
you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from
you.
Pam

Our
daughter is getting married on May 10 2014. please let me

of their events. Please reply to all so I get this at my

Hello,
I am trying to organize a surprise birthday party for my
mom who is turning 40. She loves Macaroons and the band
Hit n Run so it is just too perfect and convenient that
they are playing on her birthday, in 2014. I am wondering
if there are private rooms that can be rented out or if
I can reserve a table? I am not sure what my options are
and what the space is like in Macaroons so any help and
advice would be appreciated! You can reach me via email
or my cell phone is xxx-xxxx. Thanks so much!!
Amanda

wondering if Hit N Run will be part of our fundraiser. Could
you give me your price for a 90 min. set? Thanks
John V
Looks like the club is only going to run rock on saturdays
and a few holiday sundays for the 2014 season. I know he'd
like 2 dates between may 17 and aug 30. See if there is
something that you think might work.

band sound so much like the original and do such a wide
variety. Thanks for the entertainment.

found out today thru Bret Michael's facebook page. I have

want to enter the contest. Only one pic can be sent in,

get the picture, I have to round up votes! Thought I would
reach out to you in case you have anything better than what
I have! Thanks!

Mark,
here are the dates for next year festivals, Saturday June
7,2014, Fourth of July-Thursday July 3 2014. I know last
year there might of been a possibility of the fourth itself.
If your plans for the fourth dont work let us know.
Please confirm with me these dates and if there is anything
you need from me + Price. I will make sure we have your
checks the night of the event this coming year. It was tough
last year managing things without Jackie!!!! Thanks
John
Please let me know what saturdays you have available in
the first half of 2014. new venue on transit in lancaster.
Regards,
Tim
Same place at the Columns. Time is whatever we did last
year. I think it was 7:30 to 11:00 with a break in the middle?
Milton
Good afternoon Mark We are looking to reserve our venue
for 6/27/15 and would really like to book you guys if you're
available too. Please let me know if you're available for
this date and what the next steps may be. If it's easier
to call, feel free to reach out. Thank you.
Scott
Hi Mark, Thank you for the info. Our committee meets next
in 2 weeks, so I should have an answer by then.
Mary-Diana
Mark, I can do the legwork from here as long as you give
them a heads up that I would like to talk to them. And tell
me who to talk to. Most generally my parties in a case like
this would run 7 or 8 PM - until 10. PM Also, the other
area hostess from the POF parties is going to co-hostess
bringing with her some of her crowd. But as I said if you
can give me the contact to talk to I can do the follow up.
I want to thank you again for help with this. if this works
out I get an early Christmas present. {Giggle} This is still
closer for me.
Jody
Great use of the (Buffalo Music Hall of Fame) Inducted Members
Logo...!!
Rick M
Mark Please call me when you get a minute. Thanks

Patti
Mark, I was wondering if the band is available for our Xmas
party again this year at the Columns. I was thinking to
do it on Monday Dec. 16th. Does this work for you? If yes
what is the price? The other details we can workout later.
Please let me know.
Milton
Hi Mark, Thanks for getting back to me! Actually, that would
be fine, it's just getting you guys. You are booked on July
19. Is there any other Sat. available in July? This Margaret
Hi Mark, The event went pretty well considering the rain.
The band fortunately had a decent following which helped
the headcount. Is Hit and Run available for Sep. 6, 2014,
7-11pm? What is your policy with regards to the band playing
in the area - Hamburg the week or two prior
to the event? Please let me know. Thanks,
Chet
Can Hit n Run play on Sat Nov 9th. Do you want to do the
whole weekend here, 8th and 9th?
Phil (Macaroons)
Saturday 12/21 is great that gives me plenty of time to
do this one up big. Did you by chance mention to the cove
about me having the party and also can you give me the contact
person to talk to? Thanx
Jody
Mark, Can you let me know about the wedding at Salvatores
this month
Nancy
I haven't received a weekly email in months and this is

Tina

Tamara
What time do you start at Bellevue?
Jennifer
Mark, Thank you let me know as soon as you do!! The other
hostess and I are talking about making a party a joint effort
and one with Hit and Run would be Rocking. We could even
probably bring them in on an early night if you and the
Cove would want to try a Thursday. Or who knows maybe the
date in November you were suppose to play at Dog Pound Either
way I am in!! Hope to hear from you soon
Jody
Hey there Mark ...how r u ? We will c u Friday at fire hall

Jim H
Hi, I am interested in finding out your availability for
Saturday, March 15, 2014. It would be for a company
dinner dance in Buffalo. We will have anywhere from
150 200 people. I am also interested in what your
rate would be for the evening. We are still in the planning
stages so I dont have the exact time yet. I would
guess we would have you play from 7 10 or 11. Let
me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

Bryan Page (The Cove)
I am the coach of a 9U travel baseball team for Cheektowaga
youth Baseball. We are looking at having a beer blast at
Macaroons for either Jan or Feb 2014. I was wondering if
you knew your schedule yet for playing there.
Brian J
Hit and Run, I wanted to see what is the cost and what is
included with the Queen of Heaven party.
Lori
Hi Mark! Thank you so much for the information! I will be
in touch once we figure out what we are doing and hopefully
it fits in both of our schedules! Enjoy the day!

on Nov 2nd. My husband and his friends all bring shots.
He said he has one you need to try
I am in charge of
bringing appetizers for all of us. Any ideas what I should
make. Bill asked what you want us to bring for your shots
for your birthday.
Kim
Hello, We are exploring options for our Wedding on August
30th, 2014, and am inquiring about your costs and availability.
Our wedding is scheduled for the Buffalo Club. We are evaluating
options for the evening and are considering Hit N Run for
the reception. Please let me know your availability and
details, etc. Thanks!
Joy
You must have a huge backlog of email and shows.
Brian H
Why dont you post more pictures of yourselves and less of
the people that come out. We would like to see pictures
of you and the band too and not just the people in the crowd.
Linda
OLC was fun. We want to wear our costumes again. Is Macaroons
a Costume party? Is Bellevue open to the public?
Stacey
Are there tickets still left for the Bellevue firehall and
how much are they?
Trish
I will see you this weekend.
Mary
Mark, Just sent note out again to everyone... I think we
are good and will be there at Queen of Heaven.... No need
for us to get on stage!! LOL... On another note.. Just confirming
we are all set for Tuesday Dec 10th for Holiday Party....
Same venue and times... When you get a chance shoot me over
contract so I can have check ready for you... Thanks
Ron F
OMG the picture of your son is gorgeous. I absolutely love
the picture on facebook. He is going to be a heartbreaker.
Angela
I need u to give me at the info regarding the indoor beer
tent u told me about on nov 2nd..i was telling my friends
yesterday while I was working the game and I couldnt
tell them nothing
lol How was ur weekend?
Michelle
Mark, My efforts to book a Party where you are playing has
not been good. We had enquired at Yellow Jaguar only to
be told they basically did not need the extra business (when
you are there). I spoke with Dean at Tony Romes who said
he was going to talk to his brother. I do not think these
places realize it is financially beneficial to have a party
preceding the band. I bring a crowd in earlier than they
normally would. Plus attendees are also followers of the
band. My people want live music. Thanx again
Jody
Can you sub bowling with me on my team on Monday at Thruway?
Fred C
How much are tix for Bellevue next Friday?
Janet
Are you interested in playing for The Turkey Trot . We also
have s second show
. as a private party. Thx
Dave
In all honesty if I had the money and a venue I would hire
you for the November show and cancelled date the club LOL
Between your facebook and ours we could throw one hell of
a party.
Amanda
Mark,
if you are available on Dec 21st Saturday (at the Cove),
would you like to play our Christmas party. It is also the
ugly sweater contest that night. Let me know.
Bryan
Hey guys just saying hi and let you know tickets are starting

provide full sound for both stages. We would like to formally
request your booking for Friday, July 18, 2014 at 9:00pm

Hello, I am the advisor for the Cancer student organization
that supports the American Cancer Societys Relay For
Life. We are interested in doing a large fundraiser in mid-July.
Basically the program would entail an inflatable obstacle
course for kids of all ages, a couple bands, food and of
course fundraising. We were hoping to include your band
as I heard you for the first time at the Wings fundraiser
at fairgrounds
you are fantastic!!! Would you be able
to give me a ballpark figure of the cost to have your band
play for a few hours + other incidentals that you would
require to perform? Thank you so much!! Enjoy your day!

Thank you,
Jeffrey P
Hello-I was wondering how booked up into 2014 you are? I
was looking for available dates in September or October
of next year, on a Saturday for a wedding. I was also wondering
what your pricing is? We are having the reception at a private
property, so we are flexible with dates and just wondering
what, if any dates you had available next fall. Thank you!
Mary Z
Hi, I am getting married May 31st next year, and I was curious
if you guys did wedding events? If you do can you possibly
give me a quote and let me know if you are available? Thanks,
Dan
Mark, We typically have around 100 - 200 or so people but
would try to advertise to get that number up. This year
we are attempting to do that with another band - so we will
see how the turnout is (this year's event is 9/7/13).If
all goes well for us we would like to have your band in
2014. Is Hit and Run available for 9/6/14?
John
I am interested in scheduling your band on Sat. 9/6 in 2014
(next year) for our Annual BBQ and Cruise Night from approx.
7 pm to 11 pm. What is the cost? How many hours do you typically
play (break time)? How can I reserve you guys?
Chet L
Hi Mark! Looking to see if you have any open Saturdays in
February (2014) for a benefit. Also would like to speak
to you about June 27th, 2015. YES 2015
you guys book
up fast ! Would really love to have HNR play my sons Graduation/
my 40th Bday party. Thanks!
Kathleen K
I am looking for a band to play our wedding next September.
I was wondering if you would be able to give me a quote?
We were thinking maybe 5 hours. Also, I don't see Aerosmith's
"I don't wanna miss a thing" on your song list.
That is going to be our song for our first dance. Are you
able to play that? Additionally, my fiance is Polish and
will be having some of the Polish traditions at the reception.
Are you able to play any polkas at all? Thanks!
~Kati
Hi ! I am considering booking you for our Nov 29, 2013 wedding.
You came highly recommended . I looked your playlist and
there are songs I would like that are not on your list,
can you play them? Also, what is your pricing. Thanks so
much !

Good Afternoon, I am the chair of a national conference
of approximately 700 people being held in Buffalo in early

are available that day and your approximate costs.
Mark
Hello, I am the owner on the Bend on Allen and am looking
to do a bar Halloween party on Wednesday October 30th. I
was interested in possibly having Hit N Run play something
like 10:00pm and 1:00am. I am interested in what you would
charge on a Wednesday night. I know you are one of the premier
bands in Buffalo. Thanks,
Kyle
Hey guys, You are one of my favorite local bands, and I'm
throwing a birthday party on the 18th. I saw on your website
that nothing is scheduled but wanted to check. Are you playing
anywhere on Friday October 18th? Thanks,
Tony
My father has heart problems and is currently being evaluated
for a transplant. To help relieve some of these costs I
would like to hold a benefit for him in November. Do you
do events like this? Would you have any dates open and what
would be the cost? Thanks!
Sarah K
Mark: Your schedule says Ellicottville Brew Pub on Oct 5

Hi, My fiancée and I are beginning to plan our wedding

Hi I was at octoberfest in Wlmsv last week and I was amazed
at the array of music your band performs. I enjoyed myself
soo much. I brought Charlene and you played BILLY JEAN for
her. She hasn't seen a band in yrs. she talked about the
band for days. She was extremely impressed. I want to thank
you for that also was wondering if you play any nickelback
or stained songs. Your band could song any song and sound
fantastic. Thanks again

Jane

We are going to OLC Halloween party. Stephanies costume

marry Stephanie. She bought a wedding dress and it is hilarious.
Noelle
Guy, sorry to hear about your recent loss.
Scott
I need to make decisions about the Halloween party and also
the 4th of July event next year. As a result I would appreciate
a response from you so we can make plans accordingly.
Paul

Sheila
Hi Mark- Im very sorry about your mom. My sympathy
to you and your family. Since we've been playing phone tag,

Thanks-
Marlo

Mark T
Hey
I am a friend on facebook. How come you do not
post more things about yourself or other things you do or
like? It is nice to know more about the people behind the
music and things you like to do away from the band. I think
a lot of your fans would like that.
Maria
Noticed on your website that you are playing in Williamsville
tomorrow nite at 7pm. However, on the Village of Williamsville's
website, they have you playing at 8:30. Very sorry to trouble
you, but could I please check & verify which is the
correct time? I am emailing a few friends and would like
to give them the correct info. Thank you,

You seem to be getting back to your normal happy self lately.
Hopefully things are going well.
Laura
That would be cool not sure if we can get them on board
I hate to change venues mainly because it is literally the
end of my street. I will see what I can do from my end.
You and I both know the POF bunch can fill the place.
Jody
Hi Mark, Thanks for getting back to us. Just out of curiosity,
if we were to choose a different date in the summer of 2015

was impressed not only by the bands sound but by how fast
your sound men got the show up and running last week at
Island Park
Ken
We
had a really fun time at Williamsville for the October fest.
Do you think you will do it again next year. We are from
Williamsville and see you at Old Homes Days every year.
Nice to see you play a little more often in this area.
Stephanie
I
cant believe that you had to cancel on the Ellicottville
show, my friends and I were getting hotels and staying over.
Jennie
I
thought it was pretty neat to hear them last night and adding
you would have been awesome! I really wish I would have
known I would have gotten u to sing..
Shelly
Great
time with friends at Adam's Rib for dinner!

should have stopped the German band sooner and had you play
longer. Last week. Lots of fun!

get out to see you before November. Thank you for getting
back to me.
Jody
Hi Mark. I know you have been busy but I wanted to follow
up with you regarding the band playing at my daughters wedding
on Friday, May 16, 2014 at the Castle. I just need to know
if you can do this. If not, I need to find something else.
As you know, bands and sound systems book early and I need
to get some sort of contract signed. Thanks and I appreciate
it.
Gretchen
Hey I just saw your event for the mercy flights, who gathered
the sponsors? I want to do an event in Atlantic City for
the boardwalk actually I jumped the gun & have the green
light I just need home depot on board lol. I'm skipping
the charity thing & were going about this a different
way, however when I lock this down I will gladly offer you
a slot
Traci
Mark, I appreciate your effort. At this point I believe
that EBC will substitute on the night time performance slot
Oct. 12. Can you assure me that youll be at the ELI
show 12:45 - 3:30?
Please include me on any correspondence with EBC in the
future. Thanks,
Dave
Do this bro, you would kill it, Florida Georgia Line-Cruise
Marc H
Hey any chance of you learning some Maroon 5. They are probably
the hottest new band right now and Marks moves on stage
kind of reminds me of Adam Levine. I can see him and the
whole band doing a fantastic job and the crowd loving it.
Michelle
You really need to learn Blurred Lines. It is all over the
radio.
Linda
I love your band everyone raves about your performances
and I love to see you light up the stage!!!

Thanks to Hit N Run for my REO, Bon Jovi, Journey, Def Leppard
and 69 songs!!! Love you guys!!! :)
Lisa
Thank you. I was pleasantly surprised to hear from you.
I will most definitely keep the suggestions in mind. I have
Committed for October and November but am disappointed they
(our parties) will not be you guys (Hit n Run). Especially
considering I had already told some people. But I may check
with some other of your venues over the next couple of months.
I just wish we could have pulled off November with Dog Pound
aka Club Miami. Hope to see the band soon
Jody
Mark, saw your name in the paper for bowling. Is there anything
you dont do well?
Dan D
You should learn the new Halestorm song. Annette would kill

Anatole France once said, "to accomplish great things,
we must not only act, but also dream, not only plan, but
also believe" You have such a knack for being such
a great entertainer. You know how to make people happy and
enjoy themselves. The way you get people into the show and
the smiles you bring them is priceless. That is more impressive
than the singing or the band sound.
Lisa and Larry
We still have the date open for pour holiday party. Want
to know if you can play at it.

Anyway, this song is getting regular airplay and is up for
"electronic dance song of the summer". And I've
heard it in the background as between innings music on three
MLB games I was watching (different ballparks.....go METS

Hello!
We have spoken a few times and unfortunately you are booked
up for the year already. One of your shows is actually at

that was already scheduled to see if they would be interested
in collaborating on a fundraising event. The Dog Pound happens
to be in West Seneca, where I reside. Your show there is
scheduled for 10/12. I was wondering if you would be willing
to collaborate an event with my organization, the CCFA (Crohn's
and Colitis Foundation) on that night. Thank you again for
your time and consideration in this regard.Kimberly C (Roswell)Morning

Hello. I came out to see you guys for the first time in
a long time at resurrection carnival. My friends and I were
right up front. Your guitarist with the curly hair dedicated
a song at the end of the night to me, but due to an illness
I suffer from I had to leave after. I had so much fun. I
finally felt alive for the first time since my last three
surgeries in the past 8 months and cancer of the blood..
A friend of ours owns Brauns concert cove and my friends
were wondering what you would charge for 2 hours to perform
a benefit. We were going to look into Macaroons too.

Jamie
Mark,
Yes the show 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.

see Hit n Run and the Bills on September 6-7th of this year.
Looking at your schedule you play that Friday in Blasdell
and Winchester in West Seneca that Saturday. We would definitely
like to come out and see you guys as every one has their
(special HNR shirts you made us) shirts and the trip just
isn't the same without a Hit and Run performance. I'm ccing
Sam B who is our trip captain for lack of a better word.
What are your plans for the weekend? Do you Tailgate?

Mark, Sorry... Why did Lancaster have Hit n Run listed as
performing when you were actually in Clarence? (I think
it was a 4th of July events site?) Anyway, I enjoyed your
music soooo much in Clarence How lucky for me to hear ACDC
AND Sonny and Cher in the SAME Night!! Please tell your
group that your talent, versatility, and creativity is an
excellent site to see... and experience!! I have invited
new people to hear you tonight at Old Home Days. Thanks
again for the joy, fun, and good memories your music gives
to so many of us.

Hi Mark, Northeast Mechanical is again going to have a couple
of booths at this years BurgerFest, and we promote
this in various ways. One is on our Facebook and Twitter
pages. In our ads this year we talk about all that is going
to be happening, and we also mentioned the bands name;
I hope that this is not a problem (I personally always like
all the free advertising that I can get). If its an
issue, please let me know and Ill get them changed.
Well see you guys Sat. @ Q of H. Thanks,

Jamison have ever shared the same stage...We greatly appreciate
everyone's efforts!!!!!!

you at Macaroons. He said he saw you all dressed in Red
at Cheektowaga Town Park a few weeks back and said you guys
are great at Macs but you put on such an amazing show at
the park outdoors. He did not stop raving about the show
and how much fun he had.

Park beer tent on Friday, July 5th to listen to one of Buffalo's

some singing with friends.
Kerri
Mark, I just wanted to let you know that every "once
and a while" my husband and I get out for some fun.
We always try to track down your band. Last Saturday we
went up to West Seneca (Community Days) and couldnt believe
that it was possible for your band to get better. You sounded
better than ever and it was outside! It is also very enjoyable
to watch you and your band mates enjoy each other. You have
an amazing smile and it was fun to watch your face when
you saw somebody you were "especially" happy to
see (knowing that you are the type of person that is happy
to see everyone). It was extremely warm and the band played
on for hours. It was so nice to see the band again and my
husband and I promised each other to get out more to enjoy
the show! It was also nice to be surrounded by people that
were like us. Your band obviously brings together great
people. Everyone was happy and polite (in a crowded beer
tent) and just having a great time. Thanks for keeping me
posted and please convey to the rest of the group how enjoyable
they are!
Mary & Pete
we'll be at Old Homes on Thursday for Hit N Run
Michele
Had a blast last night, great friends, great music and beer.
What more could you ask for
Tracy
Cant wait for Queen of Heaven
Patti

Hoping you can help us out. 8-11 show.
Sarah

Mark,
How much are the tickets for the Roswell Park Cancer Fundraiser
(with Hit n Run and The Guess Who) on July 28th? Thanks.
Donna
We
are looking for a band to perform at our Firehall Installation
banquet at Samuels in 2014. We have several bands we are
looking for and trying to get budgets done. I have heard
your band several time and think you will be great for it.
Last year we had another band and they were good but did
not appeal to a wide audience the way that I think Hit and
Run will.
Alex
Mark.
My summer plans have changed and I will be home for the
Survivor show. Can you reserve two tickets for me? Let me
know. New job and next week is going to be nuts. Would be
nice to relax to a little HNR and Survivor. Let me know
email or cell. Hope to see you there, too! Thanks.

Hi
there, Just wanted to check and see if the event on 9/7/13
at Winchester is private or public. We are coming out for
the Patriots/Bills game on 9/8. We saw you guys last year

Hi
Mark, Great show. I thought you might like to see the show
from a different perspective; this is what the crowd looked
like from the rear. This was taken around 11:15. It was
crazy! Thanks,
Dale and Dawn
This
was the first time I saw your band and I was the extremely
impressed. After graduating from a music school I was very
impressed by the bass player

Mark;
Been meaning to e-mail you to thank you for the tribute
to all veterans at River feast. Its something to many
of us forget. Just a statistic: 10 percent of the populations
defends this great country, hope you thank them at all your
gigs. We need more patriotic moments Thanks again

George
I
just wanted to let you know what I heard on the radio this
morning. This Friday on 102.5 they are having a contest
of who is the biggest fan of Bon Jovi. I could not think
of a bigger fan then you. You can win tickets to see him
and the Boss in New Jersey. I am not sure of all the details
whether you call or write in but wanted to share it with
you. That may be a perfect for you!!!
Lea
After
car shopping I will want to have fun so I really might be
there....
Shelly

Hey
mark! Hope all is well. Saw you're playing hollow fest this
week. What times? I've been spending a lot of time out there
doing a landscaping job for a buddy right down on the hollow
behind the Asa Ransom house. Still pulling crowds I see.
Good to hear. I see a lot of bullshit on FB. It's un settling.
Don't know the specifics. But it hasn't changed my view
on you or the band. Always been great and will continue
to be.
Brandon

I

of 2014. Can you call me so we can discuss availability
and pricing.
Diana
Mark,
Just spoke to the organizers of the eastern hills beer tent,
they are meeting this weekend and will have final confirmation
by Monday or before re: the September date. Their plans
are to have a 3 day event with your band head lining on
Friday with 1 additional band opening up, Please let me
know this is something you want to do. Is the price the
same as the woodlawn event that unfortunately did not pan
out? I need to hear from you on this to know how to proceed
with this and the yellow jaguar date that you are also listed
for. Thanks again
Dave
We
have a class reunion coming on the 17th to Mickey Rats.
We love the band and picked that day because of Hit n Run.
Please give us a shout-out that night. I will remind you
before you start your show
Candy
Is
September 20th still OK for the outside tent show that we
are proposing?

Hi
Mark....Its Stephanie and Ray.... The only days we see for
a house party are Sunday 7/21 or Sunday 8/18. Will you be
able to play either of those days?
Stephanie
Hi
Mark, We are celebrating my friends birthday on Friday.
If you could play a song or two for her it would be appreciated.
Samantha
If
Tim is ok with this option/non contract, then I am ok as
well! Thanks,
Mike
Nice!
Woodlawn is only about 10mins from me...that could b a possibility
hopefully the rain hold off. I will be at both this weekend.
Sharon
We
want your band to play for our Lukes Legacy fundraiser.
So much so, we moved the date so it does not conflict with
one of your larger events. Hopefully, August works better
than the July date. Let me know.
Amy
Hi
Mark - Youre playing at our Summer Affair event on
Thursday, August 1 at AcQua. I was wondering if youre
free to meet with me there sometime to go over AV and other
items. Previously weve had trouble getting the sound
from the outside to go inside. Are you available July 8,
9 or 10 anytime to meet at Acqua? Thanks!
Katie

Hi
Mark: The tent run is off to a crazy start! Don't know where
you guys get the energy?! I am ready to order our wedding
invitations and wanted you to take a quick look at the proof,
(since Hit N Run is on it). As you can tell from the invite,
this event is as non-traditional as it can get. Dan from
Hitman will be taking photos too. Let me know if invite
is OK with you, thanks. Have a good week.
Diane

Might
see you Friday night!
