FAQ about hiring a Singer/Songwriter

How much does it cost to hire a singer/songwriter?

expand

On average, a professional singer/songwriter costs $200-$400. The exact price will vary depending on your location, the length of the performance, and their skill level. A singer/songwriter performing with backup tracks may cost less than one playing an instrument or performing with a live band.

What equipment do I need to provide the singer/songwriter when I hire them?

expand

Most performers will be able to provide their own essential equipment. However, you may need to provide a sound system, lighting, and a stage for the performer. When booking a singer, you will want to find out what performance and setup requirements they have and discuss what your venue might be able to provide as well.

Can I request a special song to be performed?

expand

Most singer/songwriters will take requests for specific songs to be included in their setlist. If the song is not already a part of their existing repertoire, they will need enough advance notice to learn it before the event. You should discuss these types of requests prior to booking.

Will the singer/songwriter perform covers or just original songs?

expand

Every musician is unique when it comes to curating their setlist. The musical styling of singer/songwriters generally leans toward more original songs. After all, they are songwriters! However, those that perform live at special events will often work in popular covers as well. Look through song lists and watch videos of past performances to see what each singer/songwriter specializes in.

What type of music can the singer/songwriter perform?

expand

Singer/songwriters can perform a variety of music genres, including pop, rock, folk, country, and jazz, among others. It’s best to discuss the type of music you’re looking for with the performer before booking.

How long does a singer/songwriter performance typically last?

expand

Typically, a singer/songwriter performance lasts 45 minutes to 2 hours. Keep in mind that the longer the singer performs the more often they will need to take breaks to rest their voice.

How far in advance should I book a singer/songwriter?

expand

As with any entertainment, the earlier you book the better. Many singer/songwriters book their schedule out weeks or even months in advance, especially for weekend gigs. A minimum of 2 to 4 weeks is a good time frame to ensure availability, but try to book sooner if possible.

Can a singer/songwriter perform outdoors?

expand

Most musicians are willing to perform outdoors, but they might require special conditions or backup plans for inclement weather. It’s important that if your event is outside to provide a covering for the performer to protect them from direct sunlight or wet weather. Make sure to discuss this with the performer in advance.

Will the singer/songwriter play with backup tracks or with live music?

expand

Many singer/songwriters will provide their own instrumental accompaniment, as is the case with a singing guitarist or a singing pianist. Some may perform with additional musicians as well, like another guitarist, keyboard player, or drummer. Other singer/songwriters may perform with pre-recorded instrumental tracks, especially for events with limited space. It’s important to discuss this with your performer in advance to ensure you get the type of performance you desire.

What types of events should I book a singer/songwriter for?

expand

Singer/songwriters are perfect for adding a unique touch to many types of events such as wedding receptions, cocktail parties, festivals, and corporate events. They can play from a repertoire of their own music, covers of classic songs, or a mix of both. Some can even arrange a custom song to add a special touch to your special event.
