About
Hi, I’m Joe Savia — a solo acoustic performer providing professional live music for private events, parties, and corporate functions throughout New England.
With over 20 years of experience, I focus on delivering a smooth, polished performance built around songs people know and enjoy. My setlist blends classic rock, country, and familiar favorites across generations—perfect for everything from relaxed cocktail hours to more upbeat, interactive gatherings.
Clients hire me because they want the music handled—reliable, easy to work with, and tailored to fit the moment without overcomplicating things.
What you can expect:
• Solo acoustic performance (guitar, vocals, harmonica)
• A wide mix of recognizable songs your guests will enjoy
• Professional sound system with clean, balanced audio
• Music between sets to keep things flowing
• Fully portable setup for indoor or outdoor events
I take pride in making the process simple and delivering a great experience from start to finish.
***Please Note:***
My minimum rate for events is $700. If that aligns with your budget, I’d be happy to connect and discuss the details.
Thanks for your consideration,
Joe Savia 🎤🎸

Joe was incredible to connect with. Unfortunately, our party plans changed and we were no longer in need of a professional musician, but Joe was quick to respond and very professional!

If you’re looking for an artist, look no further…Joe is THE guy! The wife and I scheduled a 55th bday party for the Fourth of July weekend and wanted live music out on the back deck for guests. Well, you may recall the weekend was a washout. Joe, being an absolute professional, allowed us to reschedule for later this summer. No cancellation fees, no added expense. This guy was amazing to work with.
Last Saturday (Aug. 28) we had the party under a beautiful night sky. Joe was amazing! He played all the classic rock hits to this crowd of 50-somethings and 60-somethings. We were singing along with him and some guests were dancing on the deck. This ended up being the most memorable party in my family’s history thanks to him.
He was timely, he set up his guitar and sound system easily, and he is so darn friendly. He connected with all of us and he was an incredible entertainer. He was even thoughtful enough to bring me my own harmonica and he got me to jam with him!
I can’t wait for another excuse to book Joe!
Again, if you’re looking for an entertainer and someone to bond with your guests, and get them singing and dancing, then look no further. I can’t recommend Joe Savia enough!
