Jared was awesome!

Jared is a very talented musician. Folks really loved his set at our street fest, especially the older crowd. I've never seen so many white-haired people "shaking it" for the locals in the street. They loved it and I'm re-booking Jared for next year.

There was a whole lot of shaking going on

We hired Not Fade Away for our 35th Anniversary celebration. The 90 guests
were mostly in their 60s and 70s…Original We hired NFA for a private party to celebrate our 45th anniversary. The 90 guests were mostly in their 60s and 70s….Rock N Rollers from the 50s-60s. The dance floor was packed for two straight hours. NFA
never took a break…they felt the vibe. They geared their performance to dancing and EVERYONE danced the night away. They are
THE BEST, instrumentally and vocally. I was sad to see them leave. Might become an annual event!

What to expect

When you hire us, you can expect a fully customizable, professional show tailored to your event and budget. Set lengths range from 90 minutes to 3 hours (with breaks), and we can accommodate up to five special song requests when appropriate.

Group size varies by production—Not Fade Away (2–4 performers), Good Vibrations (4–5 performers), ’70s Rock Road Trip (4 performers), and Forever Everly (2–4 performers)—allowing you to choose the configuration that best fits your space and vision.

We provide all backline gear, including instruments, microphones, and cables. Front-of-house speakers and a dedicated sound technician can be provided upon request for an additional fee. If a stage is required, we can also arrange a rental.

Our team handles load-in and soundcheck well before guests arrive. For a 7:30 PM show, we typically load in at 3:00 PM, soundcheck at 4:00–4:30 PM, and clear the room until showtime.

To elevate your event further, we offer meet-and-greets and merchandise options when appropriate. From setup to final encore, we strive to deliver a smooth, engaging, and memorable experience for you and your audience.

About

Emerging Pursuits Productions delivers premium, high-energy tribute entertainment led by Phoenix-based musician and producer Jared Mancuso. Known for electrifying performances, tight harmonies, and authentic musicianship, Esso and his team bring iconic eras of music to life with a modern, engaging edge.

Available Productions Include:

• Not Fade Away – A rocking tribute to the pioneers of late ’50s and early ’60s rock ’n’ roll. Featuring the music of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, Elvis, The Beatles, and more, this high-octane show fuses nostalgia with contemporary energy.

• ’70s Rock Road Trip – A story-driven concert following four friends on a cross-country musical journey. Packed with iconic riffs, radio anthems, and the rebellious spirit of ’70s rock—from Steve Miller Band to Bowie to Cheap Trick.

• Good Vibrations: A Celebration of The Beach Boys – A harmony-rich, feel-good tribute to America’s band. Recreating the surf-soaked spirit and intricate arrangements of The Beach Boys with vibrant stage presence.

• Forever Everly – A heartfelt tribute to The Everly Brothers and the artists they influenced. Lush harmonies, timeless hits, and intimate storytelling honor the duo’s monumental musical legacy.

Additional booking notes

We provide our own tablet-controlled mixing console, in-ear monitor system, and all necessary on-stage equipment. Easy access to power and an appropriate stage or performance area must be provided by the venue/buyer.

A full input list and stage plot are available upon request.

While we can supply a front-of-house sound system and technician for an additional fee, we prefer that the venue provide a dedicated sound technician, front-of-house PA system, and stage whenever possible.
