FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our pricing system depends on the length of the performance, venue, length of travel involved and equipment needed in the venue. We are based in the Uptown New Orleans area and will perform with 3 vocalists and 1 piano accompanist for $400 as long as travel is within 45 minutes of uptown. If you want a full band, we can accommodate that as well, but prices would be higher. A good rule of thumb would be $200-300 for each additional musician for a longer 3 hour performance.
