Feestet

We quote performances in sizes ranging from 2 (voice and guitar) to 6 (full band with a vocalist and horn player). This allows us to work with a larger range of budgets and sizes of stages.

Additional factors beyond band size that can affect pricing include travel distance, total play time (1-2 hours is typical), and any specific song requests.

Wedding receptions or cocktail hours receive comparable pricing to other private events, but ceremonies or comparable events that require an advance rehearsal or custom arrangements are priced accordingly.

We have experience working with event planners at locations ranging from Monona Terrace, the Edgewater Hotel, Hard Rock Casino, and more. We are low maintenance, volume-aware musicians experienced in elevating a room’s vibes without dominating it. You’ll work directly with Helen, the bandleader.

Feestet (pronounced “Feest-tet”) is a Madison-based, gateway jazz sextet fronted by vocalist Helen Feest.

Cutting their teeth on standards from the Great American Songbook, Feestet formed from a weekly jazz jam in 2021. Since then, they've performed at several notable local venues and events: Jazz at Five, North Street Cabaret, Atwood Fest, The Sessions at McPike Park, and the Madison Jazz Festival.

We can include all sound management setup, engineering and tear down. (All we need is access to power).

We do not retain any lighting equipment or lighting production capabilities.
