Aaron played for a corporate dinner at Sadelle's in Soho. In the days leading up to the event he was incredibly professional, even liaising with the restaurant to make sure that everything would be set up properly the evening of my event. The day of the event, all guests commented on how amazing he was! Not only does he have a great voice, but he extended his set and even took some requests. Highly recommend Aaron for any event!

I threw a 40th birthday party for my husband and had Aaron play for 40 guests after only hearing him play once before. He was professional, timely, honored all of our requests and most importantly, everyone at the party had a great time singing along with Aaron!

Aaron was fantastic. We hired him to entertain at our daughter's first birthday. He was very good with the children and our daughter was enthralled with him and the song choices. He even learned her favorite song VERY last minute! Aaron is a very talented singer and guitar player. Definitely would recommend him to other parents!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing depends on the day of the week, how far I need to travel, how many hours of playing, and the type of event. I have regular gigs in Manhattan on most days of the week already but I can usually reschedule these with a little notice. Also, weddings are a lot of work for a band and will cost more. I can charge anywhere from $350-$3500 depending on these factors.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a degree in Music Performance (Vocals) from Thames Valley University in London, England. I am always learning new music to keep up with the popular tunes of today and still keep adding in the old classics. I listen to my audiences and learn popular requests.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started performing in pubs in England when I was 16 years old! I then performed all over London for 7 years professionally and I have been in NYC since 2010 doing the same. I have also played Children's Birthday Parties, Corporate Events, Wedding Proposals and Weddings.
