Photo of "Tiger" Will Mason "Tiger" Will Mason "...the feelings of...protest in the song ('Barbwire Blues') ...gave me the chills...yeah, it did...really liked your vocals..." Based in Ottawa, Ontario (90 miles from Kingston) Eddie Birkett - bookmyact.com Photo of Kavita Sahay Geet Sangeet Kavita Sahay Geet Sangeet "We had the absolute pleasure of having Kavita Sahay and her wonderful team perform at the Garba/Navratri Night organized by us at The Guelph Estate Convention Centre & Banquet Hall, and what an incredible experience it was! Kavita is an exceptionally talented, energetic, and professional performer. Her amazing voice, enthusiasm, and ability to engage the audience made the entire evening truly memorable. From beginning to end, she and her team created an electrifying atmosphere filled with music, dance, joy, and festive spirit. Her entire team was equally outstanding! Their coordination, talent, professionalism, and dedication were truly impressive. They kept the crowd entertained and dancing throughout the night, making our Navratri celebration a tremendous success. As event organizers and banquet hall owners, we understand how important great entertainment is to the success of an event, and Kavita Sahay and her team exceeded our expectations! We received wonderful feedback from our guests, and we couldn't have been happier with their performance. We highly recommend Kavita Sahay and her entire team to anyone looking for exceptional Garba, Navratri, or live entertainment. We would absolutely love to work with them again! Thank you, Kavita, and your amazing team, for making our event such a spectacular and unforgettable celebration! — Zaki Agha The Guelph Estate Convention Centre & Banquet Hall" Based in Toronto, Ontario (150 miles from Kingston) 30th October 2026 Zaki Agha - The Guelph Estate Photo of Chad Wenzel Chad Wenzel "Chad Wenzel is a talented musician and an engaging performer. His conscientious delivery to every song brings the audience in. I’ve seen some people deeply moved at live shows!" Based in Toronto, Ontario (150 miles from Kingston) 7th January 2026 Dale Jones Photo of Laura R Laura R "We enjoyed Laura’s line up of music and great singing, she took our requests and made it a successful event. Highly Recommend" Based in Mississauga, Ontario (164 miles from Kingston) Evelyn Trainer - Corporate Event Photo of Adam Karch Adam Karch "I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Everything Can Change, from Adam Karch and it's an interesting mix of acoustic and electric fused folk/blues music with solid vocals. Opening with It's Your Song, a contemporary, radio style track with a solid melody and clean acoustic guitar work, Adam Karch shows his stuff on vocal and guitar, backed by Richard Deschenes on bass and Marc-Andre Drouin on drums. JJ Cale's classic, After Midnight gets a substantial rework and I like it. Starting with acoustic slide and fine finger picking, Karch's stylistic vocal phrasing really changes the track and it's as cool as the original. Very nice. Porch Groove (Sunday Morning) is a real relaxing meandering melody on acoustic guitar. Very nice. Another nice cover is Bob Dylan's Don't Think Twice, It's Alright. Karch has one of those voices that is warm and refreshing and his picking style is clean and concise. Very nice. Wrapping the release is another Porch Groove (Saturday Evening) with a more contemporary finger picked melody. Karch is a talented musician and vocalist who has put together a real nice release."

He is a great guy to work with and a great musician! He is good at reading the crowd and taking requests from a variety of genres (even Britney on occasion ?)!"

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring folk singers is $470, with prices from $150 to $1,600+. Pricing depends on the singer's experience, performance duration and whether they perform with a guitar, other instruments or backing tracks. Folk singers suit a range of settings from intimate acoustic performances to larger outdoor events.

The folk singers for hire perform traditional folk, contemporary folk, Celtic, acoustic singer-songwriter material and folk-influenced popular music. Many folk singers accompany themselves on guitar, banjo or other acoustic instruments.

Hiring folk singers is ideal for weddings, pub and bar events, festivals, private parties, corporate dinners and intimate gatherings. The acoustic, storytelling style of folk music creates a warm, personal atmosphere that suits a wide range of settings.

Many folk singers offer flexible performance options, from solo acoustic sets to performances with additional musicians such as a guitarist, fiddle player or small ensemble. It is worth discussing line-up options with the singer when requesting a quote.

For small, intimate venues, many folk singers can perform without amplification. For larger spaces or outdoor events, a small PA system is usually needed. Most folk singers bring their own amplification equipment. It is worth confirming the setup with the singer based on the venue.

Many are writers as well as performers and will mix their own songs with traditional material and familiar covers. The balance is usually the booker's choice and most are happy to lean either way. For an event where guests should recognise what they hear, say so, because a set of entirely new songs makes for a different evening.

Singalong choruses are part of the tradition and many performers use them deliberately, choosing songs a room can pick up inside a verse. How far it goes depends on the crowd and the point in the evening, and a good performer reads that rather than forcing it. Events wanting a quieter listening set should say so, as the same singer can do either.

A live folk musician working a pub or bar usually plays two or three shorter sets across an evening rather than one continuous performance, with an audience that comes and goes. The setup is lighter, since there is rarely a stage and the corner of a room is the normal spot. Rates for this work differ from function bookings, so it is worth saying which kind of event it is when enquiring.
