Mar 6, 2022 2:01 AM Hi Jon, been a fan of yours for years. The other night while I was researching something on kickstarter a rap song came to me. I am not a song writer I am an Architect, Artist, Poet, Cartoonist and father of 5 great kids and grandfather to 4 beautiful grandkids. I am excited that you are getting back to your mission of music with a message." Based in Las Vegas, Nevada Michael Courville - Jon Gibson Photo of Erika Davies Jazz Erika Davies Jazz "Unbelievable Talent! A stunning voice. Magical music. They performed for a beautiful gatsby themed party. It couldn’t have gone better! I’ve hired many musicians in the past & Erika was 20 out of 10!" Based in San Diego, California Glenn Davis Photo of Mike Goodrick Mike Goodrick "We've had the pleasure of having Mike play at our Cider Taproom regularly, and the vibe he brings to the room is always a hit. Whether he's covering pop, rock, or indie favorites, he connects with our customers and makes every night feel special. But the real game-changer has been his Acoustic Emo Nights. Every time he hosts one, our profits jump by at least 40% compared to a regular night. The energy is incredible, and the crowd loves the all-requests format. It's become one of our most popular events, and we can't recommend him enough for any venue looking to draw a crowd and keep them coming back." Based in Phoenix, Arizona Josh Duren - Restaraunt Photo of Delphi Ravens Delphi Ravens "The Delphi Ravens have an amazing stage presence that demands your attention. I loved hearing back context of the songs, it felt like I was really getting to know the band members through their performance."

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for indie bands ranges from $130 to $2,050+, with an average of $500. Rates depend on the number of band members, performance length and the equipment supplied. Indie bands range from stripped-back acoustic outfits to full electric line-ups, so the size and style of the act is the primary factor in cost.

Many indie bands play a mix of well-known indie covers and their own original material. Some bands focus entirely on covers of popular indie songs, while others are original artists who also take cover requests. It is a good idea to check each band's profile for their repertoire.

Hiring indie bands is a popular choice for weddings, birthday parties, bar and pub events, corporate parties and festivals. Indie music appeals to audiences who want something more distinctive than mainstream pop and rock cover bands.

The indie bands in United States perform indie rock, indie pop, alternative and guitar-driven music covering both classic indie anthems and modern indie hits. Many bands have a distinctive sound that brings an authentic live music atmosphere to events.

Wedding bookings are common, and many acts build a set that stays quieter during the meal before moving to a full electric performance later in the evening. Most will learn a first dance song given a few weeks' notice. Couples who want the same sound during the ceremony usually book a stripped-back acoustic line-up of the same act.

Four or five players is the most common shape, usually vocals, guitar, bass and drums, with keys added where the material calls for it. Three-piece acts work well in smaller rooms and cost less to book. Larger line-ups adding brass or extra vocals are available where the stage and the budget allow.

Most are self-contained for pub, bar and small function work, bringing a PA suited to the room and basic stage lighting. Larger venues, festival stages and outdoor bookings usually need production supplied separately. Giving the act the room size and whether a house system is available lets them judge what to bring.
