Photo of John Henry Johnson John Henry Johnson "Better than just about everyone he slipped right in as background music/feature music and was able to entertain everyone. Fantastic." Based in Austin, Texas James C. - Corporate Event Photo of Tom Breton Tom Breton "Tom was amazing! I hired him for my private event and he was so professional! He played exactly what I wanted and all my friends loved his performance! I will hire him again next year!" Based in Austin, Texas Sonia Degrace - Private Event Photo of Kenny Karr Kenny Karr "Kenny played for a 50th Birthday party and he was great! He asked for a set list and played the songs we requested as well as many others! Everyone at the party raved at how great he was, truly a blast! Kenny was so easy to communicate with, very prompt and professional. I would highly recommend Kenny for you next party entertainment! ~Stephanie C."

It just doesn't get any better than this. One smooth vibe! Wonderful stuff!" Based in Arlington, Texas (175 miles from Austin) Steve Choate Photo of John & George Beatles Duo John & George Beatles Duo "John and George brought the Beatles to our Corporate Christmas party in Irving Texas. All were reminiscing the great music, which was spot-on! And these guys are from Liverpool!" Based in Watauga, Texas (181 miles from Austin) Chase Bank - Christmas Party Photo of Classic Acoustic Rock Concerts Classic Acoustic Rock Concerts "One of the finest musicians I've ever had the opportunity to hear in House of Blues. When he first auditioned, National Manager, Regional Manager and the House of Blues Management team all loved him and had him placed on our roster. He always delivers a first class performance, the audience loves him and will stay for over an hour to hear him sing. With the wide diversity of his music all audiences will find something they will enjoy. We will be using Tim in upcoming performances here for a long time. What I've heard is he is gaining a lot of new venues in Dallas, the elite are hiring him for special events. You will not be disappointed when you hire Tim. He's worth every penny and more for what you'll pay to have him at your venue." Based in Dallas, Texas (182 miles from Austin) Michael Edgdorf - LiveNation

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring acoustic bands is $550, with prices from $160 to $2,000+. 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.
