PLEASE NOTE: My minimum fee is $650 for a solo performance (within 20 miles of 19003).
Hello! I'm looking forward to playing at your event! I am a singer/songwriter (guitarist) from Ardmore, PA who plays solo cover shows or private events 3-4 times a week. Playing everything from Frank Sinatra to Bruno Mars; The Beatles to Coldplay; Springsteen to Maroon 5...hits from the 50's through today; I am the perfect solution to your need for a small, acoustic act that has something for everyone! I can also provide a duo, trio, or six-piece band.
"Neil offers an eclectic range of music from throughout the decades. He not only has a very strong vocal presence, but he has a subtle way of altering his voice to accommodate the song in which he is singing, so no one feels like they're hearing the same voice throughout the performance.
Neil presents very well with the utmost professionalism, and with a sense of pride in ensuring he is making the audience enjoy themselves, and the client pleased."

Neil made the entertainment portion of my husband’s 50th birthday party effortless and enjoyable. He listened to my ideas and, along with Ryan, created a truly memorable musical experience. Their ability to tailor the setlist to our specific tastes was impressive, and they kept the party lively and fun. The positive feedback from our guests was overwhelming, and I felt completely comfortable trusting them with such an important celebration. I’ll definitely be reaching out again! I promise, you will not be disappointed.

Neil arrived early to get set up and acclimated to the space from a volume perspective. He was extremely responsive & professional from our very first interactions and more than delivered on the day of our event. We hosted a “Friendsgiving” dinner at our home and he was the perfect touch to take the party to the next level. He has an incredible voice - is well versed with many different artists - and his music served as fun background music as guests first arriv

Honestly, you don't know what you are going to get when you find something/ someone online. But, I cannot say enough how easy it was to work with Neil, he got back to me, he reached out to me for a song list, which the song list wasn't my main concern. He made his own set list and took that off my plate which I was so appreciative that he did that, but also he did it well - the music was a perfect mix. He was ready to go at 4:30 like he said he would be and I would highly recommend Neil.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I base my pricing on my experience, value, and professionalism. I will always be fair and honest, and always try to work within your budget. That being said, my minimum fee is $600 for a solo performance (up to three hours). That includes consultation, local travel, providing my own sound equipment as well as a couple of Par lights (when necessary), and, of course, my performance.
If the travel to the event is longer than 20 miles (one way), I would work it out with you to adjust the pay accordingly. Length of your event may also affect my fee.
As I can also provide a duo, trio, or even a 5-piece band, with which I currently sing, pricing for that would also be adjusted.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I love speaking to a potential new client, finding exactly what their needs are, and honestly letting them know if I am indeed a good fit for their event. I have declined events because I sincerely felt that I wasn't right for it, and that wouldn't be fair. I will spend time talking to you to make sure everything is completely understood, so that there are no surprises or let-downs, i.e. - "Please play this song" or "Please do NOT play anything by this artist", etc. Making your event 100% enjoyable for you and your guests is my main priority.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been singing in bands and/or solo for over 25 years. I have worked with many extremely talented musicians, including going to California with a former band and recording an album, with John JR Robinson on drums, and Mike Post as producer. Look either of these guys up...it's impressive what they've accomplished. I play consistently...anywhere from 2-4 times a week.
