Introduction: "The musician that makes your party the one your guests will rave about." I didn't come up with that. It's what clients tell me 99% of the time! PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING ME 👉 My minimum fee is $1,500 for a solo performance (within 30 miles of 19355). If your budget matches, I would love to put a custom quote together for your special event. Thanks 😀👌🙏 Whether it's playing solo acoustic, with a full band or anywhere in between, I've been performing cover and original songs for over 20 years. My repertoire spans from 1960s through the present, ranging from Adele to Zeppelin. (Ask for my song list!) From a singing cowboy in a Febreze commercial to backing Adam Levine and Blake Shelton in The Voice, Season 14 “Porch Commercial” which debuted on Super Bowl LLI, my voice has been featured in numerous regional and national ad campaigns. I perform over 100 private events per year. So I'm great with a wide age range, special requests and can assist with event planning. I would love to provide price quotes tiered for up to a 7 piece band. That way you can find the perfect balance for your budget and music entertainment needs.

I was having a surprise retirement party for my wife 5-6-23, when I contacted Matt, he responded right away. We made the plans, talked about different music we liked for the party, etc. Matt was on time and his music was fantastic! He sang the entire time he was here. I got so many compliments about Matt, everyone said how good he was. I would highly recommend Matt for any event. I will be hiring him again for future events. Matt if you are reading this, Thanks again for making the party a great day :) Andrew Lohmeyer

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My minimum fee is $1,500. Typically I can perform solo for up to 3 hours for that price. Because every project is different, I'm happy to provide custom price quotes tiered for up to a 7 piece band. That way you can find the perfect balance for your budget and music entertainment needs.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically the customer will email me to start the conversation. We'll then schedule a quick call to go over specifics. From there, I will issue a contract and take a 50% deposit to hold the date. Any questions and follow up calls are welcomed once the date is confirmed. The balance is due on the day of the performance.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have "Street MBA" as I call it. In other words, I learned by doing. My education is real-world experience performing well over 2,000 shows in 20 years.
