Photo of Little Black Dress Little Black Dress "Excellent! Would consider again in the future. They were professional and extremely talented!!!" Based in Boston, Massachusetts Cidalia S. - Porsche of Nashua NH Photo of Matt Brodeur Music Matt Brodeur Music "I really enjoyed working with Matt, who I booked to perform at a retail store event. There were a few mixups with the scheduled performances at the store, but Matt was very understanding and professional about it all which was very much appreciated! I look forward to working with Matt again in the future." Based in Millbury, Massachusetts (38 miles from Boston) Samantha Lynn - Corporate gig Photo of Jon River Jon River "We hired Jon & Tessa to perform for a private party on New Year’s Eve in CT. Their performance was beyond our wildest expectations. Jon is cool, charismatic, incredibly gifted, and super talented. Tessa is the perfect compliment, and accompanist, and an absolute pleasure to be around!! His country covers are amazing: Wallen, Bryan, Combs, Kahan, Stapleton, Jelly Roll, you name it, he crushed it. Jon even did a country version of Post Malone’s Circle that could be on the radio tomorrow! He really shined when he sang his originals though, you can tell they mean a lot to him and we really enjoyed them. This was a New Year’s party that we’ll never forget at a time when we really needed it. I would highly recommend Jon & Tessa. They are awesome."

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.
