5/5 from 1,289 reviews
Photo of Dead Man Bordeaux Dead Man Bordeaux "A true performer. Delivers with such passion the audience was captivated" Based in Antigo, Wisconsin (201 miles from Minneapolis) Bruce Malitz Photo of Them Uke Boys Them Uke Boys "I saw Them Uke Boys perform at a couple of bars in town and ended up having them perform at my wedding! They were BEYOND amazing and I would recommend them to anyone! They were so accommodating and willing to perform longer when I didn’t want the night to end! Seriously go see them perform or have them at your next event. You won’t regret it." Based in Omaha, Nebraska (291 miles from Minneapolis) Jesslyn Song - Wedding Photo of BackForward / Adam Cartwright BackForward / Adam Cartwright "Talented across the board! We were blown away by Adam’s professionalism, attention to detail, musical talent and fun factor at our recent party! The cherry on top was his ability to take great quality professional photos! Adam was a great MC who took my DJ playlist inspiration and ran with it to create the perfect playlist for our party. And we can’t forget the Taylor Swift meets Coachella rendition of Happy Birthday which flowed into Jack & Diane. Such a fantastic addition to the event!" Based in Naperville, Illinois (339 miles from Minneapolis) Derek - Private Party Photo of John Drake John Drake "John performs to the crowd—if they’re mellow he’s mellow. If they’re having fun he kicks it up a notch with them. Great blues and blues rock. His original songs are crowd pleasers." Based in Springfield, Illinois (403 miles from Minneapolis) Mitchell - Brewery Photo of Ahsaas Chaudhary Live Ahsaas Chaudhary Live "Ahsaas was absolutely fantastic! We hired him to perform for my father-in-law’s 80th birthday, and he sang beautifully for a little over two hours. I had asked him to create a mix of older classic songs along with newer, well-known favorites that the senior generation would enjoy, and he completely understood the assignment. His song selection was perfect, his voice was beautiful, and he created such a warm, joyful, and nostalgic atmosphere for the celebration. Our family and guests thoroughly enjoyed his performance, and he made an already special milestone birthday even more memorable. I would highly recommend Ahsaas for anyone looking for a talented singer for a family celebration or special event!" Based in Ann Arbor, Michigan (511 miles from Minneapolis) 16th September 2026 Rosalie Patel - 80th Birthday Celebration Photo of Jeff Tucker, solo / Jeff Tucker Band Jeff Tucker, solo / Jeff Tucker Band "I wanted to let you know everyone loved you guys at our event. The set list was perfect! As soon as we know the date for next year's party, you'll be hearing from me!" Based in Columbus, Ohio (627 miles from Minneapolis) 18th January 2026 Michelle A.

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.
