A crooner is a singer, typically male, who sings in a soft, intimate style. They are known for their smooth, romantic vocals and are often associated with the jazz and big band eras.
On average, a professional crooner costs $200-$500 for one hour. The exact price will vary depending on your location, the length of the performance, and the singer’s experience level.
Crooners can create a sophisticated or nostalgic atmosphere for any occasion, including weddings, cocktail parties, corporate events, holiday celebrations, and intimate gatherings. These talented performers are also great for themed events like casino nights or Hollywood parties.
If your audience includes those from an older generation, a flashback to a favorite era of music could be a great entertainment option. Consider hiring a crooner for birthday parties, anniversaries, and retirement homes as well.
Crooners often perform classic jazz standards and pop ballads from the 1920s to the 1960s. They will cover popular artists like Frank Sinatra with songs including "Fly Me to the Moon," "My Way," and "The Way You Look Tonight."
Many crooners are happy to take song requests so they can build the perfect setlist for your event. Ask to see their song list in advance to see what is included in their current repertoire. If the song you want isn’t included, they may be able to learn it. Be sure to discuss this with the crooner in advance to ensure they can accommodate your request.
Most crooners will bring their own microphones and other necessary equipment. However, discussing this with them beforehand is always a good idea to ensure everything is taken care of.
Some crooners may perform with a jazz group, party band, swing band, or pianist. They may already have a group, or they can collaborate with local musicians for live accompaniment. Otherwise, they will likely perform with backing tracks.
