Introduction
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. If your budget matches, I’d love to create a custom quote for your special event. Thanks for considering live music with meaning.

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

I recently had the pleasure of having Eliza Rush (and band) perform at my wife’s surprise 60th birthday party at a pavilion behind our house. I must say, they were absolutely fantastic! Their sound quality was top-notch, making it feel like we had our private concert right in our backyard. What truly stood out was their professionalism. They arrived on time, set up efficiently, and engaged with the guests in a friendly and courteous manner. It felt as if they were part of the celebration, which added a personal touch to the performance. Eliza developed a playlist to match the crowd’s vibe, ensuring everyone had a great time. Communication throughout the entire process was smooth and hassle-free. Eliza Rush (and band) exceeded all expectations and made my wife's birthday party an unforgettable event. I highly recommend them for any occasion where you want exceptional music and a professional, accommodating, and talented band.
