Wanted
to see about booking Hit And Run. How much would it be to
have a 40th suprise party for a family member this summer
or fall?
Jeff
Mark,
hope you can fit us in for a date at our summer show at
the grove. I have a lot of people asking when you will be
here and I went with the date we discussed.
Mike
Thank
you so much for your help. After your announcement of me
there, the photo gallery really took off. With every one
wanting to get their photo taken. This by far Captured the
true "Friends" and flavor that always happens
at a HNR Event and what we need for My Buffalo.com. To sum
it up..."The Hit N Run Beer Tent Tour Captured at it's
best!" The band is Sounding Awesome! Here is the link

Cool...I
mentioned it to John and I checked our calendar and we don't
have anything going on. It will just depend on how ambitious
we are about driving there. I am going to mention it to
the Wipperman's as well (it's very close to their house).
Maybe you'll see us there...
Kelly M
Feel
free to stop by anytime for a beverage.....always home.
Renee
So
great that you are reconnecting with you family .You look
happy. Hope that you had a fantastic Memorial Day weekend
Tony
I
am sooooo ready for carnivals and tents...haven't been able
to dance much at all....going nuts here... see you soon!
Dee H
I
saw some guy running with a HNR shirt on. Speaking of shirts,
are there any HNR shirts this summer? A few friends asked
me to get them one.
Brian
Mark,
How are you doing? We have been thinking about you and if
there is anything we can do let us know. Give my big boy
(your son Michael) a big hug and kiss for me and tell him
I miss him too. Love
Diana
Mark,
the Frog Hair show is for 7-10
John C
Is
it Ok for Jeff to play drums on Born to Be My baby?
Claudette
Isn't
Frog Hair a bar? Or is it a restaurant? It's far for us,
but I'm going to mention it to John...I can't remember if
we have anything going on that day or not? Will try to stop
out.
Kelly M
See
you in July at our OLBS function.
Karen
Look
at it as a compliment. He would never do that if he got
what he wanted and he was doing well and you were not. It
proves he is not happy with his current situation.
Tim
Please
add me to your mail list
DK
Hey
there.....I haven't heard from you in a while. I hope all
is well.
Ren
Still
waiting to see if Hit n Run is available for our "Grove"
show Thanks Mark.
Mike Rizzo
I
am including the contact information for the Bar and REST.
I did explain that the date might not still be open, but,
I hope that things will work out for both you and him.
KB
Mark,
can I get a contract for our wedding. I will be in town
shortly and we can confirm all the details.
Claudette
Wow,
you have Guy Nichols in the band. I used to love having
him play here at the IV Stallions. He sings ACDC great and
is fun to watch. He once put on some special Videos on our
big screen in the middle of singing a song.
Donny (IV Stallions)
Any
news on the extra dates for the Dock?
Roz
Hi,
We're from Erie, Pa, and have followed you for a long time.
We want to come up to hear the guys on the 12th of June
but is this open to the public or a private party. Where
is this St. Johns NF Carnival in Niagra Falls? If you can
send me the directions, we would love to hear the band again.Tks,
Ginny & Roger
I
recently saw you perform . Can you tell me what your rate
is for a 7pm to 12 pm Friday night . I am looking to book
a venue on August 13th 2010. Please let me know you availability
and price. The location is in East Aurora-
Dennis
Hello,
can I first tell you that I think you guys are an amazing
band. I have seen you play so many times from outside shows
to Club Paradise. We are looking for a local area band to
perform. As I stated before, it will be held on July 25th
from 2-8pm. Thank you for your time and I will hopefully
hear back from you soon. Sincerely,
Gina-Marie Kitcho
Hi,
How does one go about purchasing the Live cd? Thanks,
Michael A. Pignataro
Hey

wants to see what our carnival is like they can just go
to queenofheavencarnival.com Just can't wait for that saturday
nite it will be fun!! See ya all soon KEEP ROCKIN
Terry QofH Carnival
I'm
very sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. My thoughts
and prayers to you and your family.
Tim Unger (eXit band)
Sounds
great Mark! Enjoy the long weekend. Hopefully this nice
weather will stick around!
Rita
Mark,
We had a good time. Thank you for announcing Nancy's birthday
Saturday night. That was very cool. My birthday is May 17
and Nancy's is May 19. I would've requested Crazy Bitch
for her, but the band had already done it by the time I
talked to you. I love how the band gets the crowd involved
in the songs you guys sing. And you singing with people
is cool. Thanks, Mark!!!
Lisa
Very
nice following!! (GREAT CROWD last week) Good for you guys!!
You’d never find me in that sea of people!! Ha ha!
I’m sure you’re back up to full par again with
your musicians. We’ll have to throw a duet in the mix
somewhere.
Christine
Mark,
we decided to go with Hit n Run for our show. Can you send
me a contract, when you get a chance.
Bob
Thanks
Mark for playing Something to belive in for Denise and I
at
club paradise. It sounded great. Enjoy your weekend off.
Roger
Mark,
I was just looking at the schedule and I noticed the NYC
date in the Hamptons. How cool is that?! Is it for a private
party or something else and is that THE Hamptons? I like
to thing that someday I'll have a summer home in the Hamptons...maybe
in my next life I'll marry a Kennedy.
CarolYn
Mark,
is Tommy still in the band singing ACDC?
Donny (IV Stallions)
Hi
Mark, I know you usually get emails from me, from my Clubs
email...but I am looking for a band for a different venue.
I am part of my high schools anniversary gala committee
and I am in charge of finding a band for our big event.
The date is August of 2011. It will take place at the Marriott
in Amherst. They have asked me to find a band that would
appeal to those alumni from 1965-2010. So what I'm looking
for at this point is a quote on a price for 2-3 hours of
music. Let me know ASAP as we'd like to book this band soon.Thanks,
Carolyn
Was
wondering if the date open on your calendar was still open
and if you guys would be interested at playing at the Rose
Garden on Werhle Dr. The owner has shown a lot of interest
in having you guys play, I'm thinking it would be an out
door show. He is currently on vacation until Monday. I should
see him hopefully then with a contact person for you.
Kathy Stevens-Bates
Just
got word from the boss Frog Hair is a go to cover. I look
Foreword to being there and getting great photos of you,
the band and the MANY FRIENDS Hit N Run Has! These always
make great Photo galleries!
Dan R (Buffalo.com)
It
was recently brought to my attention that the photo of I
have of your band is very outdated, I need a new photo sent
ASAP as either a jpg or a pdf at 300 dpi and in black &
white.
Nightlife
Hi
Mark, My name is Jenna Thorn, and I am a huge fan of Hit
N Run. I love going to your shows, and the last one you
had at Club Paradise was a lot of fun. It was the first
time I ever had liquor poured down my throat!! Lol. Even
though I am only almost 22, I absolutely love the music
you sing. Journey and Bon Jovi are two of my favorite bands,
and you are such an amazing singer. I love singing along
and dancing when I go to see you guys. Its like for 4 hours
I can let loose and just have fun. I think it would be incredible
to have you guys play at my graduation party. I was hoping
you could send me information about how much it would cost
to book you. I know how busy you guys are, so I do not even
know if you will be free to play at my Graduation party.
I was thinking it would either be in December 2010, or January
2011. If you could send me any information at all about
booking Hit N Run I would appreciate it sooo much! Thank
you,
Jenna
Just
heard about your brother, I just went to funerals last week
myself. My condolence to you and your family, may your brother
have safe passage to heaven. Losing a family member is always
hard, keep cherishing him in your memories.
Jim Gleason
That's
a great pic of me. Drunk and singing. Lol thanks. Had a
great time as usually. Band sound excellenté. Got
a couple busy weekends coming up. I'll see ya for sure.
See ya soon.

Hi

time entertainment in the Plaza on Old Falls St. during
the summer season. I would love to know your booking rates
for 11:30am-2pm Monday-Fridays and if you have specific
dates available that we can work with. If we can get you
guys up here for a special performance , we would really
love to have you here. Thanks and I look forward to your
response.
Jennifer N
Call
or email me. I have a new club on Transit and need to know
if you are interested in performing for our grand opening.
Jay
Mark,
When you find out about the Hamburg PBA, let me know. It
would be great to have you play the wedding, if possible.
JS
Mark.
Thank you once again for being the first guess on our radio
show for local music. I’d like to have u back to get
more time. Thank you, brother.
Rich M
You
are good at thinking on your feet (and answering the callers
questions on air.)
Christa
19
years WOW - I can't believe the longevity. You guys are
really good. That is really something to be proud of. You
are very talented.
Liza
Hi
Mark,, Just checking to see if you have considered doing
a fall Saturday night @ rane? I also have another depew/elma
area club i'm booking that was asking about the band.
Dave Buffamonte (Backstage productions)
I
have a CD of the Radio show that we did. I will get you
one.
Mick
Dale
and I tried several times to call into the radio station
on Sunday but could not get through. Great job and great
show for Buffalo Music.
Don (Aud)
The
song that you did live on the radio sounded great.
Judy
Thanks
for calling me up on Saturday at Club Paradise and the plugs
for Wide Right. You guys are sounding great. Back to the
old format of song after song and long sets.
Ken
Aw
good job on the radio. I listened to the whole show.
Rachael
Guy
just cracks me up. He is so entertaining and really looks
like he is having a blast.
Mary
That
radio show sounded awesome.
Nancy
Great
job on the air.
Terry G (Queen of Heaven)
I
tried to get through and was on hold and could not get through.
Great show you sounded very comfortable, like a natural
on the air.
Amy
Sounded
great on the radio.
Guy
You
were at Disney in FL and did not call me. Glad you are doing
so well. Keep on Rockin’
Larry D
Mark,
I'm sure that you have been asked this question a lot. Have
you heard anything about May 20th with Brett Michaels? I
would be guessing that he's not coming. Have you heard anything
specific yet? Have you learned my Nickelback song yet?
CarolYn
Great
time and great crowd at macaroons last week. How many shots
did we do?
Robbie
I
really think that Guy Nichols brings allot of excitement
and energy to your show. I think he really is a great addition.
Im really a personality type of person. people take jokes
and even when he put those guitar glasses on, people remember
they laughed and I think thats a good thing and will go
see a band that they had a good experience previous!, previous
to seeing your band I stopped and watched another, and did
not hold such a positive comment ( I will hold the name
out of professionalism)
Fred G
Hey
Mark, Just wanted to know about tomorrow night at The Aud.
If I wanted to get a good seat there what time do you think
the girls and I should be there? I don't want to be stuck
in the back of the bar. Let me know Talk soon

Hey
look tickets were going fast and almost gone three weeks

moving. You should have realized a long time ago.

Keith
Hey Mark, I just had to let you know, I was making sales

was playing the Hit n Run CD at work. They saw me laugh
and asked why and I told them that I am good friends with
you.
Jerry
Close
your eyes and you would never know. Guy sounded great.

me informed on Brett Michaels show
Joe Gunning
Mark,
I am doing an on air radio show about Buffalo Music and
would like you to be my first guest. We want to discuss
Hit and Run and offer tips for new bands. I also would like
you to perform a song (acoustically) live, if possible.
Call me to discuss. It would be in early May.
Rich M
Those
two dates work out great for the Dock. Please see if you
can work on an extra Wed date. Let’s talk about Thursday
in the Square, too.
Roz
Mark,
I was hoping to get a couple of friends to go with me last
Fri night to see you play but it fell thru. Question - I
have a friend who is disabled that would like to come see
you play @ Macaroons when you play there and I was wondering
if there was anyway that seating could be reserved? Seating
is critical for her because she is unable to stand for very
long.
Mary M
Hey
Mark, Let me know if you get to open for Brett. We would
prob. discuss that on the air!
Chris Klein (97 Rock)
I
will try to stop Fri. You always make the right decisions
so don't worry about it. Maybe we can get together during
the week at Aud for dinner.
Ken
Thanks
for the email letting me know they will not be there. It
will be great to see Ryan Miller and Drew Stafford of the
Sabres Jam with you. Let me knowwhen they will be confirm
they are coming.

as i would like to be part of that via media wise.

Hi
Mark, Thanks again for a wonderful performance at Moog.
Unfortunately I heard a lot of people just walk in and out
because it was so crowded. I just keep thinking they should

OH MY GOD!!! YOU HAVE A HIT!!!!! The country recording is
exceptional! Did you ever think that you would be doing
Brooklyn Country!!!! Loved it! I thought the country song
was phenomenal. After hearing it, I had to play it for several
people at work. One could not imagine how you could change
your voice and sound like that. I absolutely loved it.

ok it's official, i am the biggest GOOF in Buffalo...i'm
just thankful you guys put as much as you do into your gigs
and you wear the Funband East crown with pride! thank you
for giving us such great music to dance to! i've been in
bands and i know how much *work* it is to do those gigs
and make them good -- especially if you have a dayjob and
as much gear as you guys have...and music lovers like Kerri
and myself, we APPRECIATE IT so much. there is just nothing
like live music - hearing the song come to life like that,
and the energy it creates, it continues to amaze me every
time i go to a concert or a show...and having a space to
dance and just live in the song for a few minutes, it's
so much FUN! next time we will take some rock-star shots
of you in action and send them to you! :)
Robin
Great
Job on the duet, Mark! A beautiful song & video! The
vocals are awesome! You did a great job of adjusting your
voice to get that little bit of twang in there to fit the
song :) Love it!
Carla
MARKKKEEEEEEE!!!
I loved your country twang!!! You could put Tim McGraw to
shame! ;-)
Sheila
I
thought the video of the original song was great and added
to the song experience.
Barb
Mark,
on the first line of the original country recording, I laughed
because I could not picture you singing that way, but after
I stepped back and listened to it as if I did not know who
was singing it, I thought it was awesome. I have listened
to it a few times already. You should add it to the list.
Jerry
Hey
Mark, I can bring you a check to reserve the date for the
Christmas Party they we talked about Tuesday night. Who
does it get made out to and is there a contract that needs
to be signed as well? Again, the date is December 4th at
the Protocol on Transit Rd. Thanks again!
Kim
Wow.
You want to talk about a band who gives their all? Hit-N-Run
played at Club Paradise for the PBA, and then the doors
opened to the public at 930pm and they picked up and did
it all over again. Coined, 'Buffalo and WNY's premier party
band,' they had the crowd on their feet and booties were
shaking all night long, as they went on cruise control and
drove thru the 80s with a common milestone, 'Pour Some Sugar
on Me,' going into musical reverse int time with 'Margaritaville'
and 'Sweet Caroline' later bounced back to visit the likes
of Journey, Styx, and Quiet Riot. A little something for
everyone. They live up to their tagline. (See the whole
article at the link below)

Thanks
for the reply...I heard about your new members, it's gonna
be a great band (AGAIN) you seem to always pull it off!
Congrats!!!
Dave Buffamonte (Backstage Productions)
Mark,
Here is the copy of the country song I wrote (and you sang
with me). I was hoping you could post it so we can see what
others think.

Wendy
Anxious
to hear you guys. my brother is in 3 diff. bands, lead singer.
Rochester trying to get them out West. a friend turned me
on to your band. Always love new bands!
Mark
Hi
Mark! I'm soooooo sorry I missed my song, "Keep on
Loving You" by REO Speedwagon that you sang last night!
Honestly, I didn't think you would remember after all the
beer and shots you had on Friday night. Normally, I don't
get to the shows until 11-11:30pm. And if I do miss it,
I can always pop the Hit n Run CD in and listen to that.
Although, it's not the same. You guys were awesome as always
both Friday (Aud) and Saturday (Club Paradise) night.
Lisa Ostemposki
I
shared your song on Facebook. I hope you don’t mind.
I think it should be shared : ))
Brenda
I
was interested in having your group play my wedding sep
10th. 2010 at Salvatore's. Both myself and my fiance are
musicians and we are having a glam rock/hollywood glam themes
event! We are also having a red carpet for fun! We are coming
out (with your help) with me singing "born to be my
baby" (which I bet you can play) and my fiance would
like to play the drums on that song? We are a family full
of musicans and fun and I'm sure you guys would have a blast!
MY fiance has been on tour with Queensryche, RATT, and others!
We live in Cali but are from Buffalo.
Claudette
Dear
HitNRun, I have been so fortunate to have heard you the
last two years at St. Mary’s festival in Olean, NY.
I see that this year you will not be performing there, and
I am greatly saddened. I know you are very busy and booked
like a year in advance, however there are many of us in
Olean area that would love to see you down here more. If
there is any way you guys could in the future venture down
this way more, well your extensive fan base down here would
explode and be very grateful. Thanks,
Keith Durphy
Couple
questions. Would you be available on June 18, 2011 for a
wedding? How much do you charge? How long?
Renee C Bray
How
about April 30th??? We can't have a party WITHOUT Hitn'Run.
We will move our party at the hotel in Grand Island later
if we have to but no earlier than the 23rd. And yes, I will
help you with a new poster design.
Paul
Dear
Mark, I am very excited to hear that you guys will in fact
be able to play at our wedding. If you could let me know
about setting up a contract and a down payment that would
be great. Thank you for your time, feel free to call me
anytime if needed.
Cheri Dyson
I was wondering if hit n run performs at weddings. I am

We
at Club Diablo are looking for a few serious bands, with
a steady draw. We would like a band that has a strong following
to do a once a month show. Bring other bands with you, or
have the whole night to yourself. Cover bands accepted
Hey

Tour Hit N Run Tshirt tomorrow at Mac's? I want a large,

Renee L
I
am wondering if Saturday Jan 30 at WS Hose is open to the
public? ( I have been wanting to bring my friends to see
your band and this date would work for us....)
Diane W
Mark,
We are in the process of planning /Summerfest 2010/, the
22nd annual lawn fete at St. Christopher Parish on Niagara
Falls Boulevard in Tonawanda. I thought that I would inquire
anyway to be certain that those dates are booked. So, please
let me know whether /Hit n Run/ is available to play for
us on either or both of those nights, and the band's fee
for such a performance. I look forward to your response.
Ray K
Mark,
We are having our Third Annual Friends & Cohorts party....last
year was the Prom From Hell...this year is...A Spring Break
Party. We are looking at Friday, April 23 and were wondering
if H n R was available for that date...if not, we'll work
around you.
Paul K
Hi
Mark, We all had a GREAT time new Years Eve. Well it's that
time of year again. I would appreciate anything we could
do this season at the Dock. I would take any wekkend date
possible. Wednesdays are wide open. Maybe a Sunday show?
Also we should talk about Thursday in the Square. Thanks,
Mike (Roz)

easily replaced. Rob & Karen are coming to see you Sat
I might stop in for awhile to see you guys. See you then.
Gail
Hello
Mark! Just wondering if you have any open dates in June,
July, or August, Saturday or Sunday. I was looking to have
a party, but it has now turned into a possible family reunion.
Kathy
Hi
everyone, check your calenders because Caitlin's softball
team is having their annual fund raiser January 23rd from
6 - 10 pm @ Macaroons. It costs $20 and includes beer, vodka,
rum & pizza. We will have a huge Chinese auction and
a special Sabres raffle where we are giving away tickets
in the harbor club, tickets in the 100 level and an autographed
Drew Stafford hockey stick. Our good friend (and shortstop
on two of my softball teams) Mark Valentino's band HitnRun
will be making a RARE appearance @ Macs going on stage @
9:30. Hope to see you all there. Contact me for tickets
on my cell @ 432-1015.
Mike Myszka
Mark,
can we switch our summer carnival date? We have a conflict
with another function.
DG
Hey
Mark! The band was great Friday night. Great song selection
for the set. Also, thanks for the special tribute. We got
a kick out of that. Hit & Run is the only band that
plays that song! See you soon. Thanks again!
Dan & Colleen
Hi
Mark: I’m contacting you (to see if) your band may
be looking for a singer. If I’m incorrect I apologize.
I’ve seen your band before, know your song list and
am impressed with the diversity of music you play. I’ve
been in various bands for the last 15 years and am capable
of a variety of music myself and played percussion (yep
.. tambo, shaker, and “MORE COWBELL”, ha ha).
I am capable of singing everything from Sugarland and Shania
to Aretha Franklin, Bonnie Raitt and Melissa Etheridge and
enjoy harmonizing as well, and believe I would be a complimental
addition to your group. If you have an opening, I would
be interested in coming down to sit in on a few songs and
audition. If not, let me know and feel free to keep my information
on file for any future openings.
Cris H
Hi
Mark, Mark & I stopped out to see you last week at Macaroons,
sound was good. what a long set you played.Catch ya later
Marilyn
Good
Morning and Happy Friday! I'm trying to talk Pat into coming
out to see you guys at Pompei tomorrow night.
Renee L
You
guys up to another fall dance at the glorious Bellevue Fire
Dept? Looking at Friday October 29th. Let me know if you
would be available. Thanks,
Brian Gould
Hey
Mark, First happy new years.... I wanted to book you guys
for dyngus day but Liz told me you were booked already.
let me know asap if that is true. In case you forgot I am
Liz and Cindys friend.
Kim Potts
Mark;
It is truly amazing what you have accomplished. It reminds
of the frenzy we had when I was with Universal Grille for
a short while. If you are ever in need of my professional
services please do feel invited to call.
Joe Mahfoud
Hi
Mark, Why don't we get together (to record our CD tracks)
after the holidays. Just let me know. I would like to have
it done sometime in January. I am planning on sending the
two demos to publishers and record labels in February. Thanks
again for the opportunity to finish this project with me...
Talk soon!
Wendy
Saw
you guys on New Years Eve and was absolutely fantastic as
usual! Taz is the best drummer around, Kelly has an amazing
voice, Mike does the best AC/DC I've ever heard and its
no wonder Mark has won best vocal award so many years in
a row! Just amazing!
Mary F
Hey
Mark, You're playing Hard Rock Cafe in Niagara Falls, NY
on 2/5. That's no private party. We're staying over at the
Casino. Can't wait! Thanks for reminding me of Pompei. I
may go. Probably see you at Macaroon's Friday.
Greg M
Hi
Mark: Have you ever thought of adding this song”Staceys
Mom” to your playlist? I would surely enjoy it! See
you on Jan. 29th at Macaroon's.
Anita
My
daughter is planning her wedding for June 2011. She was
interested in having a band instead of a sound system. We
have no idea what a live band would cost. Could you give
us a ballpark figure what a standard charge for a Saturday
night wedding package would be.
I
Personally want to Thank all of you for a GREAT NEW YEARS
EVE!!! Yes another record breaker! You have all been Great
Friends throughout the years and I love you all. Great job.
Wishing you all a safe and prosperous New Year. HitnRun
ROCKS!

Sue C
Hey,
Mark, I had to let you know this - I picked up a copy of
your CD to give my uncle for Christmas. Mark, you'd have
thought I gave him a million dollars! He loves the group,
and was so excited over getting the CD. Every so often during
the evening, I'd catch him going back over to his little
"gift pile" and picking up the CD to read the
back of it...and later during the night, he said, "These
are all my favorites!" Then later he'd again make some
other comment....it was really so cute, and he said it was
his favorite gift! Just had to let you know you made his
Christmas wonderful, and you didn't even know it!!
Gina Browning
Please
make the change as to rather me, put Brighton fire Company
in, also need the cost and the date. A check will be written
at our jan. meeting, it is at the end of the month. I am
sure you will be rocking in the NEW YEAR!
Wally (Brighton Field days)
Hello
and Happy New Year to you! I hope all is well Mark!
Ren
Have
a great 2010. Good seeing you and the women at Club P. Rick,
we did good closing the place up. That’s a reason to
get a room next year. Markie, nice work on New Year’s,
the band did a great job keeping Club P ROCKING!!! Once
again you brought the “A” game LOL. “Second
Chance” sounded real good too
Mark T
Just
wanted to let you know that my tall blonde neighbor is no
longer allowed to go anywhere without her shorter brunette
friend. How dare she have fun without me??? That will NEVER
happen again. :) Hope you had fun (but not too much ) Happy
New Year!
Theresa
Happy
New Year singer guy! Wishes from me to you for a wonderful
2010
Ann
HI
Mark, I have found a recording studio for us to record the
duet. Let me know what you think and give me a couple of
times next week that you could meet me at the studio. I
plan on being at Mac’s Friday to see you guys play
so if you want to talk more I can see and talk with you
then. Thanks and talk with you soon
Wendy
Hi
Mark, Same to you friend, and have a great gig @ Paradise
and a fun safe New Year!
