Question 1

About

Accepted Answer

​Just Joe. That's it. In an attempt to satisfy my Attention Deficit Disorder, I perform a wide variety of music - classic rock, country, blues, R&B, pop, dance, oldies, swing, disco, or whatever. From the 1920s to the 2020s.

I sing along with backing tracks and play bass guitar. No two performances are the same. The songs are selected depending on the audience, venue, and atmosphere at the time.

For a typical restaurant/bar show, I usually play for 3 hours straight. I don't like to take breaks because that's when people tend to leave. I'm there to help drive sales and keep the guests entertained.

I use a Bose compact PA system and all music goes through it so that everything is on one volume knob close to me. I aim to keep the volume comfortable for the guests and the venue.

Question 2

Pricing

Accepted Answer

Performance costs are determined on a per client basis, but here are the general guidelines:
 
Bars, Clubs, Restaurants: $225 (3 hrs @ $75/hr)
Private Parties: $300 (3 hrs @ $100/hr)
Senior Centers: $150 (1 hr show)
Special/Corporate Events: $150/hr
 
Why the price difference?
 • Most public places let me play whatever I want and also collect tips, with minimal prep work.
 • Private parties require more prep & research, i.e. location, outlets, special requests, etc.
 • Senior Centers require a pre-planned show, more performace material, and MC work.
 • Special Events, like weddings, etc., require a lot of prep, MC work, and coordination.
 • Corporate Events require a very strict script, along with MC work by us and the executives.

Other pricing factors include: duration over/under 3 hrs, distance to event, time to setup/teardown, event access limitations, extra equipment or personnel needed, and various additional event expenses, such as parking, etc. 
 
A typical event encompasses up to 7 hrs: travel(2), setup/teardown(2), performance(3) 
 
We will always work with you to deliver a memorable event within your budget!
