This isn’t background music—it’s the heartbeat of your event. I bring connection, rich harmonies, and a genre-blending sound that lifts the room and meets the moment. Whether solo or with my full band, every performance is crafted to move your guests and leave a lasting impression. With a hauntingly beautiful voice and a presence that draws people in, I blend folk, pop, country, and contemporary styles into performances that feel both personal and unforgettable. From private retreats to the Lincoln Center stage and a feature in Lancaster County Magazine, I’ve spent over 30 years creating music that connects—and clients trust me to deliver experiences that matter. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate gathering, or private party, my team and I create more than a soundtrack—we create an experience your guests will remember. What I Offer: 30+ years of live performance experience Available as a soloist, duo, or full band (up to 10 pieces) Repertoire from the 1960s to today, plus classical training Custom songs, special requests, and curated setlists Wedding packages for ceremony, cocktail hour, and/or reception Optional help with event flow and planning support PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING: My minimum fee is $1400 for a duo performance.

I was looking for a band to perform at an outdoor pool 95th birthday party. Family, friends and neighbors would be there, so I wanted someone good. Not knowing Eliza Rush nor her music, (she responded to my request almost immediately), I listened to some of her original stuff on You Tube, and realized she has a great voice. After responding to her, she asked me what I was looking for, what type of music I liked. I like a lot and told her Motown, Classic Rock, Oldies, Blues rock and Country. After hearing this, she told me she had the perfect group of guys to perform at my party. I figured Eliza’s voice was very good, how bad could the band be? Well, they were not only good, they were great! Eliza coordinated my requests and the band performed all the genres of music I requested. Totally exceeding my expectations! In addition to that, the band members performed vocally as well as Eliza. From singing “My Girl” by the Temptations to Johnny Cash to John Denver and Neil Diamond, to singing “Birthday” by the Beatles, they performed it all. What I liked most about Eliza’s band was that it didn’t seem like work to them. They were constantly smiling while performing and seemed to be having as much fun as my guests! What a great night, I was fielding compliments about the band all night! Eliza and her band were the cherry on top of the birthday cake!

I had the pleasure of working with Eliza and her band on two sperate occasions this summer, as we planned and held two special events at two different YMCA locations. From the very start Eliza was a joy to work with, she was very responsive, she listened to our vision and/or needs, and then provided us with a very thorough, well executed, and fair quote. Most importantly, the quality of the music and experience that was provided by Eliza and her band without a doubt exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Eliza Rush for any of your live music and special events needs!

Details: General event / party • 201 - 250 guests • 18 - 30 years old • 51 or older • 31 - 50 years old • 13 - 17 years old • 12 years old or younger • Band • 3 - 5 • Pop / top 40 • Covers • Variety • Outdoors

Eliza and her team were beyond excellent and an absolute pleasure to work with. They WAY over-delivered and made the night so memorable. Eliza's bandmate, Ian, played keyboard beautifully during happy hour before we moved to a tented area where the full band ROCKED for 3 hours... And then we asked them to play another 30 minutes, which they did, before concluding with Bruce's Dancing in the Dark to surprise my wife (a custom request for her favorite song). Eliza also made the booking process seamless and communicated clearly from the first outreach to the last. They showed up an hour+ early for setup and sound check. Truly a pleasure to work with the entire crew and I could not recommend them more highly.

Details: Birthday party • 25 guests or fewer • 31 - 50 years old • Vocals • Guitar • Band • Pop / top 40 • Rock / classic rock • Covers • Outdoors
