Booking a solo country act is mostly a question of matching the room to the sound. A singer with an acoustic guitar suits a function room, a marquee or a back bar without any extra equipment, while larger halls and outdoor stages need a bigger PA and sometimes a second musician to fill the space.
Ask what the venue provides before you book. Some rooms have a house PA the artist can plug into, others have a sound limiter that cuts the power if the volume goes over a set level, which matters more with a full backing track than with a voice and guitar. A solo performer needs a couple of square metres, a power socket within reach and around 30 to 45 minutes to set up and soundcheck. Check parking and the load-in route as well, since a guitar, a PA and speaker stands take two or three trips from the car.
Most artists send a song list once a booking is confirmed and will build the running order around it. If you want a particular song for a first dance, a birthday or an anniversary, allow three or four weeks so it can be learned and rehearsed properly; some charge a small preparation fee for anything well outside their usual repertoire. It is also worth agreeing what happens between sets, as most performers can leave background music playing so the room never falls silent.
Fees for a solo country act in South Africa range from R1,750 to R17,000+, with most bookings around R6,500. Ask what the quote includes: travel, equipment, setup and soundcheck time, and how long the performance itself runs. Anything beyond the agreed finish time is usually charged as overtime, and most artists take a deposit to hold the date with the balance due on or before the day.
The average price is R6,500 (ZAR), with most priced from R1,750 to R17,000+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Sheldon Live
"I cannot praise Sheldon enough for the incredible entertainment that he provided at the recovery lunch to our daughter's wedding. It was an international crowd of guests and he had them singing along and dancing all afternoon! Linda was super to deal with on the admin side - great team! I cant recommend Sheldon highly enough, great guy, fabulous entertainment!"
Rich Man Blue
"Richard is an amazing artist, singer and songwriter, with a huge list of songs cover and plenty of original.
He's shows are a show that would make you long for Nashville folk/county music.
Amazing work from this man.!"
Joubert.Artist
"I must be honest I had never been involved in finding and/or booking a band for an event, so this was a first for me - and it was my dad's 60th so I really wanted something special. Joubert and his wife (who seemed to be in charge of the Sound Engineering side of things) were very accommodating and there were little-no issues. The sound quality was great - his voice is great - and no request seemed too much to ask (they did everything with a smile on their faces). We tried to give as many song requests to them at least a week before the time as possible - and they seemed very appreciative of that.
They did go the extra mile in the sense that the party actually only seemed to kick off when they were supposed to wind things up - but they volunteered to stay for longer just before my dad asked me if they could, and so they did. The event turned out to be a big success and I wanted to thank Joubert and Juanita for the vibe they injected into a special day for us as a family. Dankie julle"
