When performing in the immediate NW Raleigh, NC area (includes Cary, Durham, most of Chapel Hill, Wake Forest, etc.), I can play music for as low as $150 minimum per hour (or up to any increment thereof, including a 15 minute singing telegram/serenade) if I am walking in to play your piano or using my guitar acoustically. This could include a small powered speaker for vocals if needed at no extra charge. This is great for entertaining/heartfelt singing telegrams, short presentations, kids birthday parties, senior communities and healthcare facilities, house parties, and intimate gatherings in private banquet rooms. This fee is also applicable to intimate indoor/outdoor weddings. (Higher powered speakers, full set up with electric keyboard, custom poetry, additional rehearsals, etc. will put us at a higher price range per hour). The small powered speaker will usually be used when the group is over 30 attendees. The hourly rates consider travel to/from my NW Raleigh location (within 30 minute radius), performance hours and setup/breakdown times. Additional travel, long/early set up times, down-time planned (for instance 2 sets with an hour wait in between based on clients program set up) in the middle of the performance hours will be charged. Your final fee will be determined based on these factors and set before we make a firm commitment. **Note - I usually set a Maximum Performance time of up to 4 hours total any given date, with a 10-15 break after every hour of performance. (This does not affect the rest of my time on your premises for set up/break down, preparation, downtime on the job. It is specific to vocal/musician performance hours.) If you are looking for your entertainer to actively perform longer than this during your event, we can discuss how this might or might not be accomplished.
