Full Time Service - Fully Insured - Equal Opportunity Employer









WHO WE ARE:
Crow Entertainment, LLC is a full time entertainment company. We are large enough to handle major events yet small enough to meet face to face with all of our clients. We are fully insured and belong to ethical business organizations that advocate proper business procedures and the support of local business. Crow Entertainment is a diamond in the rough. We are one of those organizations that insists on doing things right the first time. As a result, it will take us longer to grow. This is a fact that we accept. We are an employee based organization. Our DJs are employees of Crow Entertainment. We also have qualified and certified contractors who regularly perform on our behalf. Being an employer allows us to provide jobs for people and in a very small way, stimulate the economy.
 

OUR HISTORY: Established in 1997, Crow Entertainment thrived mainly on weddings. This allowed us to specialize in weddings and go beyond the needs of our clients by offering wedding ceremony music, coordination, and specialized services. By 1998 we began to gain the attention of the corporate world, schools, and Venues around the DC and Metro area. In 2001 we moved our operation to Calvert County, MD. Our office is in North Beach.

Our original 1997 Logo was drawn by Steve Waller. The object was to catch an abstract profile view of DJ Brian Crow that conveyed DJing, music, and entertainment. If you look closely you can make out the hair, eye, mouth and face of DJ Brian Crow. This picture, in it's original hand drawn form, can be found in the Crow Entertainment office. So much has happened since the original vision of Crow.
Our logo today is not so abstract. Designed by Alex Lawryczenko, an artist originally from New York who worked with Sony Music, sets the tone with a Big Band Jazz Appeal. The C and the E are similar to what you might see on the front of a bass drum in the 1940's. This was in honor of Brian's father, William "Mac" McDaniel whose musicianship sparked a major fire in Brian's drive to succeed in the entertainment business. Brian's father had an undying love for the Big Band era.

WHO AND WHERE WE SERVE: Though we are local to the Calvert and Annapolis regions, we travel quite often to Virginia, Washington D.C., Baltimore, and have gone as far as Texas. Our clients, however, come from all over. We've served clients from Spain, Italy, and many parts of Europe. A lot of our clients come from New York, California, and all over the east and west coast. Over the years we have come to be one of the main sources of entertainment for places like Herrington on the Bay, The Chesapeake Beach Hotel and Spa (Rod n Reel), and local venues in the Calvert and Annapolis region.

ON THE NAME: Crow Entertainment got its name because of the "Scarecrow." It sounds crazy but it's true. It was a name Brian was drawn to having portrayed that character in several productions of "The Wiz" back in high school. Teachers would refer to him as the Scarecrow, affectionately. It was fitting. The Scarecrow didn't believe he could achieve anything until he was surrounded by other characters who convinced him he could. When Brian was working in radio at WARW in Rockville, MD, he needed a name other than his birth name for appearances, radio work, etc. If he was to work on air or anywhere else in that field, he would need a name. He chose "Crow." Like the character, Brian was the same way in terms of being determined but not always having the confidence. It stuck with him. Today, friends, business associates and even family call him Brian Crow. It's just easier to call him that and it works.

OUR AFFILIATIONS: We belong to the ADJA, AMAEA, and the BBG, with the focus being on ethical business practices and customer service. These organizations stand up for our rights as entertainers and also assist the consumer with getting a good deal without the worries of inexperienced or questionable DJ operations. In short, you should always meet your DJ face to face and check credentials.

PRESENTLY: Today, Crow Entertainment stands strong on its own and provides entertainment for hundreds of customers per season. We've expanded to offer many things but not limited to CD/DVD duplication, audio production, Slide show production, A/V rentals, and much more. Most recently we joined forces with a local record label to produce and promote new artists. Our full list.

ON THE GREEN MOVE: We're a lot greener than we used to be as we have been eliminating paper and electricity waste in the office. We've also incorporated the use of LED lighting FX which uses less power. Batteries from microphones and other devices are recycled along with CDs. We've moved to recycled inks in our printers and are on a 90% PDF workflow in our office. Our trash cans are rarely full and we've seen a reduction in our overhead. These savings are passed on to our customers.

DOING BUSINESS: Our name has reached thousands yet we still focus on the small business approach. It is absolutely the best way to do business if you love what you do and aren't interested in simply chasing the dollar bill. We make a comfortable living serving people. Anything beyond that is greed. When your foundation is solid you can pretty much build anything on top of it. So many businesses lose focus and treat customers like numbers. Our direction has always been customer based. At the end of the day we are service providers and proud of it. We hope you get a chance to experience what we can do for you.
