About
Playing together since 2003, Kevin & David have put together an acoustic mixture of oldies and new songs, with influences from folk, country, R&B, and rock.
We have tight, smooth harmonies and an easy, acoustic sound. We play small-to-medium size venues, including restaurants/pubs, wedding receptions, birthday and other parties, fundraisers, and outdoor venues.
We enjoy having fun with our listeners, often inviting them to come up and sing with us... and many have received the eye patches we award to 'honorary Pirates' at various venues. We play an occasional original, but mostly we like watching the looks of recognition and seeing & hearing people singing along to familiar favorites.

Excellent all around .I dealt with Kevin a lot leading up our event . He was very professional and encouraging on how they do their show . On the day of the show you could tell they’re seasoned professionals from how they set up to showing us their playlist to taking on requests. I got nothing but positive reviews form our guests on how well they loved The Time Pirates and all had a great time. I would definitely recommend them for anybody that wants a great time listening to great music . Thank you again Kevin and Dave !!

I hired The Time Pirates for my wedding and they were prompt, professional, and talented. Our guests raved about the music long after the party stopped. We couldn’t have been happier for them to play our wedding. Thank you!!

The Time Pirates were great to work with for a charity event we held for vets. They played a wide range of music that was age appropriate for our group. We will definitely have them back to other events we hold.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
For private parties we charge 200 dollars an hour with a 2 hour minimum charge. Call for corporate and business rates. These vary depending on how many bookings and or days are required. Travel over one hour from our home base in Columbia SC will require an additional fee to the base cost. All fees are discussed up front and agreed upon before booking is final. Cancellation within 30 days of the booking will result in a charge of the base rate excluding travel expenses.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We like to know what kinds of music that you and your guests like. We can tailor a setlist to suit. We also let you know that we get patrons involved by setting up an extra microphone so that everyone can get involved. We love to have the crowd sing along with us!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
David and Kevin have been playing together and honing their skills for 18 years. David sang during his time at Wofford College and has directed chorus and choir groups. Kevin has also performed in choral groups and choirs. We began playing shows over 3 years ago and have consider ourselves fortunate to have found success doing what we love to do. We currently play 3 to 5 shows every week.
