Photo of Strings & Keys by Conner Strings & Keys by Conner "If I could give a higher rating, I absolutely would. Conner was incredibly punctual, professional, and accommodating throughout the entire process. Although I did not personally get the opportunity to experience his full performance, my guests had nothing but wonderful things to say. They were thoroughly impressed by the versatility of his music and the atmosphere he created. Beyond his talent, Conner is also warm, friendly, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to book his services again for future events. Thank you so much for helping make my day even more special. I had booked you with the intention of setting the tone for the evening, and you truly delivered. You created the perfect atmosphere and set a wonderful standard for the rest of the event."

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring acoustic bands is R9,000, with prices from R3,250 to R33,000+. Pricing depends on the number of band members, performance duration and whether additional equipment such as a PA system is included. Acoustic bands vary widely in line-up, from duos to larger ensembles, and this is typically the biggest factor in cost.

The acoustic bands for hire perform a wide range of genres in an acoustic or unplugged style, including pop, rock, folk, indie, country and classic hits. The acoustic format gives songs a more intimate and relaxed feel, making it a versatile choice for many types of events.

Common events for acoustic bands include weddings, drinks receptions, garden parties, intimate corporate events, restaurants and venues with noise restrictions. The softer acoustic sound allows guests to enjoy live music while still being able to hold conversations.

The acoustic bands on Gig Heaven range from solo acoustic performers and duos up to full acoustic ensembles of four or five musicians. A smaller act suits intimate settings, while a larger group provides a fuller sound. Many acts offer flexible line-up options depending on the event.

Many acoustic bands offer the flexibility to switch between acoustic and amplified sets during an event. This allows the music to start quietly during dinner or drinks and build in energy later in the evening. It is worth discussing this option with the band when making an enquiry.

Some acoustic bands perform entirely unplugged and need no power at all, while others use small amplifiers or microphones that require a standard power outlet. For outdoor events, a portable power source may be needed. It is a good idea to confirm any power requirements with the band before the event.
