Book the Soapbox
BOOK MR. “LIKE THE DOG”
Whatever You’re Planning, Let’s Make It Memorable.
There’s no one-size-fits-all Banjo Youngblood experience—and that’s the point.
Book Mr. “Like the Dog” for an intimate appearance, a full Banjo Youngblood Show, live music, storytelling, MC and hosting duties, audience shenanigans, additional performers, or go all the way with The Whole Damn Medicine Show.
Festivals, fundraisers, community gatherings, grand openings, birthdays, holidays, celebrations, ceremonies and wonderfully strange ideas that don’t fit neatly into a box are all welcome.
Tell Banjo what you’re planning, who’s coming and what you want them to remember. We’ll build from there.
READY TO MAKE AN IMPACT?
PRIVATE EVENTS
Don’t Just Throw Them a Party. Make an Impact.
Birthdays, anniversaries, family reunions, holiday parties, backyard gatherings, milestone celebrations—or simply getting a bunch of good people together because life is worth celebrating.
Banjo brings live music, storytelling, humor, audience interaction and a healthy disregard for the invisible wall between performer and audience.
Book a surprise appearance or serenade, make Banjo the featured entertainment, or let him help carry the whole party as entertainer and MC.
The goal isn’t simply to give your guests something to watch.
It’s to give them something to be part of.
WEDDINGS & CEREMONIES
Get Married by the Friar.
Meet Your Friar, Banjo “Like the Dog” Youngblood.
Reverend. Storyteller. Entertainer. Husband. Father. And a man who believes a wedding ceremony ought to sound like the two people actually getting married.
Banjo offers personalized wedding officiating for couples who want something heartfelt, human, funny when it should be, serious when it matters, and unmistakably theirs.
From the ceremony itself to live music, storytelling, MC duties and reception entertainment, you can invite Banjo for one important moment—or weave the Youngblood experience throughout your day.
Because the ceremony shouldn’t just be the thing everybody sits through before the party.
It’s the reason everybody came.
CORPORATE EVENTS
Give Them Something Better Than Another Company Party.
Employee appreciation. Holiday parties. Retreats. Conferences. Awards. Client events. Team celebrations. Company milestones.
Banjo Youngblood combines the instincts of an entertainer, storyteller, Master of Ceremonies and Corporate Morale Coach to do more than fill a time slot.
He helps read the room, connect the people in it, celebrate the humans behind the job titles and create moments that break through the ordinary.
Whether you need featured entertainment, an engaging MC, or someone helping carry the experience from beginning to end:
Morale doesn’t have to feel like a meeting.
Festivals & Fairs
GIVE ME A CROWD.
Festivals, fairs, street events, community celebrations, fundraisers and stages that need more than somebody standing behind a microphone.
Banjo can arrive as musician, storyteller, emcee, roaming entertainer, rabble-rouser—or some combination thereof.
Years spent in circus, vaudeville, festivals, community organizing and unconventional performance have made one thing abundantly clear:
The audience doesn’t have to stay an audience.
BUT WHAT IF THE EVENT
ISN’T THE POINT?
Sometimes the work is what happens before everyone enters the room.
FIND OUT WHAT’S IN THE MEDICINE
Entertainment Is Only Part of What Banjo Does.
Sometimes the room needs a song.
Sometimes the team needs its spark back.
And sometimes an organization has a big idea, a community it wants to serve and absolutely no idea how to turn good intentions into meaningful participation.
Beyond the stage, Banjo Youngblood works with businesses, organizations, event producers, and community leaders as a Quality of Life Coach, Corporate Morale Coach and/or Community Impact Architect.
Through coaching, facilitation and impact consulting, Banjo helps people strengthen connection, discover purpose, cultivate play, improve morale and design experiences and initiatives that people actually want to participate in.
It’s the same philosophy behind the entertainment—just applied differently:
People matter. Connection matters. Play matters.
And when we intentionally create spaces for those things, remarkable things can happen.
