      Matt Griffo was an INCREDIBLE addition to our nonprofit's gala! He played ukulele during our cocktail hour and the guests loved him! He walked around and engaged and interacted with our guests, played amazingly, and we got so many fantastic comments about him. We'll definitely be booking him again for next year! On top of all that, he was so patient with me as I changed the schedule only a couple of days prior- his flexibility was so appreciated and it was great to know there was one less thing I needed to worry about leading up to the event. Matt was incredibly professional and showed up early, with all of his gear, knew how to set up, and performed for longer than requested. When you're planning an event there is so much to take care of and you're running around like crazy. Booking Matt meant that I didn't have to worry about any of that and I knew it was going to run smoothly and be taken care of. He spoke with me multiple times prior to the event and helped to strategize a set list that would create the atmosphere we were going for, and overall acted as a collaborator and not just entertainment. I'm so grateful that we booked him for this event. If you're wondering if Matt would be a good fit for your event, I would encourage you to reach out to him. He is very honest and will tell you up front what he can and can't do and make sure that you make the right decision. If you're considering him, just book him. You won't regret it.

Acoustic Bands in Chicago, IL


Live music doesn’t have to mean rock bands or hitting the dance floor. If you’re looking for a more low-key vibe, consider an acoustic duo or band. Acoustic groups are great for all types of events – wedding ceremonies, birthday parties, corporate events, and more. Their song list usually includes a variety of genres from pop to classic rock to country. Whatever your special event needs, you can find it with the acoustic bands on GigSalad.

The cost of hiring an acoustic band in Chicago, Illinois will vary depending on the length of the performance, the size of the group, and their skill level. Bands with years of experience performing live events will often come at a higher price than those just starting out. For smaller budgets, you might consider a solo acoustic guitar player instead of a group. Contact local acoustic performers to get a quote customized for your event.

While browsing profiles for Chicago acoustic bands, look through photos, listen to audio clips, and watch videos of their performances. This will help you learn more about their style and song list. Then read reviews from past clients to see what it might be like to work with them. When talking with musicians, discuss important details like setup requirements, arrival times, scheduled breaks, and any song requests you might have.

Once you find the band you want to hire, finalize the booking on GigSalad. Our full-service platform makes it easy to book live music for weddings and parties. You can communicate with the group, confirm the details in an online agreement, and make a secure payment all in one place. Every GigSalad booking is covered by our Worry-Free Guarantee so you can rest easy knowing we’ve got your back. Just relax and enjoy the music! Search for Acoustic Bands in Chicago, Illinois above.
