Andrew Hoyt is 'Can I give him 6 stars?!' Amazing

Acoustic Band

We were looking for an artist that provided both originals and covers so we listened to Andrew Hoyt's music on Itunes. We loved his sound. He met with us about the vision we had for the wedding. He was, from start to finish, kind, professional and accommodating. He plays covers but really owns them with his own style. He read the room and (played with an awesome trio) to a very enthusiastic audience. We danced our first dance to one of his originals (at our request) "Perfect" which just made it so special. I can not recommend Andrew Hoyt enough. He made my wedding unique and special.

About booking 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!
