Photo of Kevin Robinson Piano Kevin Robinson Piano "Excellent! Kevin was an excellent pianist playing classic songs for easy listening. Great looking, fit right in!" Based in Kansas City, Missouri Julia M. - Private Party Photo of luna on drums luna on drums "Robert was awesome on every level. I really appreciated his solid drumming skills and the sounds. Normally I’m annoyed by drummers - Simply because they’re too loud. But Robert was better than that! And the percussion foundation he played for both rehearsals and the show was off the charts! Robert was professional, timely, hard working and clear in his communication. Most of my songs were pop. 1 tune was more alternative rock. He toggled between the styles easily, kept a steady beat, established good tempos & always with a supportive attitude. I would highly recommend him for any band or musician in need of a drummer." Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota (412 miles from Kansas City) 26th January 2026 Kristin Hanninen Photo of D'AYCH and The Next Level Band D'AYCH and The Next Level Band "Used these guys for my event in September of 2023. I can always tell things are going to go well when the communication is clear. We were able to get exactly what we needed for both days of our two day event. The first day we wanted classic rock and/or light rap for the festivities to get the crowd amped up. People were walking around the fest jamming while shopping/eating, which is what we wanted. The second day we needed something far more subtle while dinner was served to our sponsors and guests. D'aych and The Next Level Band brought the old school JAZZ BAND sound. Wow! We were originally going to go with 2 different bands but D'aych assured me that they could handle it all. THEY ABSOLUTELY DID. The best parts: 1. On both days they dressed for the theme of our event!! 2. They arrived EARLY and I always say EARLY is on time! 3. They were professional 4. They did exactly what they were hired to do on both days... seamlessly Definitely my go to band now and will use them at our event in 2024 as well. Thanks guys!" Based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (441 miles from Kansas City) Bob Anderson - September 2023 Photo of Gentle Piano Music Gentle Piano Music "A true professional and impressively talented! She was just a lovely addition to our formal cocktail party! A true talented professional! She played beautiful traditional Christmas music for our holiday cocktail party! She was great at communicating with us, even prior to us booking her. She wanted to know exactly what our wants and desires were, and she made sure she satisfied our wishes. A very pleasant and classy touch to our evening was had. We would highly recommend everyone to hire her to add that elegant and sophisticated touch of class to your event." Based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada (756 miles from Kansas City) 5th March 2026 Charlene Ramkissoon - Cocktail Party Photo of Vic Barreira Vic Barreira "When we talk about musical talent, and skilled soulful vocals, Vic Barreira is first on the list. Whether he's performing with a guitar or keyboard, Vic is the "real deal". His renditions of Neil Diamond, Elton John, Billy Joel, and the Beatles, as well as his own material is testament to not only his professionalism but for his love of music. Catch Vic live at your next venue and get ready to be blown away!" Based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada (817 miles from Kansas City) Mystic Highway Band (CCR/John Fogerty Tribute) Photo of Who.iAm Who.iAm "Who.iAm? More like What.iAm feeling is amazed at the talent and creativity. Out of all the music I've ever hear, Who.iAm certainly makes it!"

Accompanists support solo vocalists, instrumentalists, choirs and other performers, and those with specialist skills or extensive repertoire may charge more.

The accompanists for hire are skilled musicians who provide musical support for singers, instrumentalists, choirs or other performers.

Common events for accompanists include wedding ceremonies, church services, vocal recitals, auditions, rehearsals and other events where a singer or performer needs live musical support. Some accompanists also provide solo background music for drinks receptions and dinners.

Most accompanists are experienced sight-readers and can learn or prepare specific pieces for an event. It is advisable to send any music or song requests in advance so the accompanist can prepare. Many are comfortable working with a wide range of musical styles.

Most accompanists who play portable instruments such as guitar will bring their own equipment. Keyboard players typically bring their own instrument, though some may prefer to use a piano if one is available at the venue.
