Q: How much do acoustic bands cost in New Orleans?

The average cost of hiring acoustic bands is $550, with prices from $160 to $2,050+. 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.

Q: What style of music do acoustic bands play?

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.

Q: What events are acoustic bands suitable for?

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.

Q: How many musicians are typically in an unplugged group?

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.

Q: Can acoustic bands also perform amplified sets?

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.

Q: Do acoustic bands need a power supply at the venue?

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.

Q: Can I contact multiple suppliers at the same time?

Spiritus Mundi Crescentis "What a show last night! We're still talking about it at breakfast." Based in New Orleans, Louisiana 21st September 2026 Adrienne Shulman

Tank and Bill "It was so much fun tonight, guys!! Can't wait to have you back!" Based in Harahan, Louisiana (8 miles from New Orleans) Shelly V - Rivershack Tavern

K W Hoffman Music "Our members loved him and was asked back for 2 more shows" Based in Russellville, Arkansas (409 miles from New Orleans) Brenda - VFW Russellville

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 (442 miles from New Orleans) Michael Edgdorf - LiveNation

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 (459 miles from New Orleans) James C. - Corporate Event

Clay Bitter "We used Clay Bitter for a big work party to bring in the New Year. His band was incredible. As a musician myself, I can honestly say they never missed a note. They pulled songs out that people requested effortlessly. I just witnessed a 28 year old guy go from singing Merle Haggard, to Guns N’ Roses, to Frank Sinatra. WHAT?!?! Definitely call this guy. You will not be disappointed! Thank you so much Clay for making our event unforgettable" Based in Nashville, Tennessee (469 miles from New Orleans) Joseph Bellinger - Work Party
