Photo of BOBBY FIVE BOBBY FIVE "This guy is a true professional his songs are amazing He is a very fun music act I have booked him at several events all over the Nashville area and in different parts of the country. His Nashville recorded albums are as good as anybody's out there. His music is being played on radio stations across the country." Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (196 miles from Baltimore) Amy - Nashville booking agent Photo of Kt Lay Kt Lay "We hired Kt for our wedding and they did not disappoint. They performed before the ceremony and during cocktail hour. So many people came up to us saying how much they enjoyed the music. Would definitely hire again!"

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 ?)!" Based in London, Ontario, Canada (350 miles from Baltimore) Bad Apple Brewing - Bad Apple Brewing 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, Canada (425 miles from Baltimore) Eddie Birkett - bookmyact.com 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."

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring folk singers is $340, with prices from $110 to $1,150+. 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.

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.

The folk singers in Baltimore, Maryland, United States 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
