Requires a performance space of at least 4 feet x 5 feet. Requires 2 power outlets (1 of them 3-prong). 1 parking space is needed- preferably close to setup entrance.
I'll need to know the address and any specificities with directions to the venue. I'll need to know where to load my equipment in, and where to setup at the venue.
I provide my own PA system, but I currently do not have any lighting equipment. If that is requested, I would need assistance in obtaining a lighting rig.
I'd be happy to play music from Apple Music or YouTube in between my sets. I have playlists already created for different types of events; otherwise, the client can choose the playlist/music they want played in between.
I've been gigging since I was a Freshman in High School (for about 8 years now). Since then, I've been in 4 different bands, 2 duos and I started gigging with my solo set 2 years ago. I've played multiple weddings, tons of brewery/winery shows, and a few private events.
I normally arrive between an hour and 30 minutes before the start time, due to my solo set having a very simple setup. I normally perform two 50 minute sets with a 10-15 minute break in between. However, I'm able to play more or less depending on the event (maximum amount I can perform for is 3 hours).
Yes! As long as the weather is agreeable and I still have 2 power outlets (1 of them 3-prong).
I'm happy to learn specific songs but I do charge extra for them.
