Jazz Singers for Hire in Nashville

Q: How much do jazz singers cost in Nashville?

Hiring jazz singers typically costs between $150 and $1,400+, with an average of $500. Rates depend on the singer's experience, performance duration and whether the vocalist performs with a live band, backing tracks or as part of a duo. Jazz singers are a popular choice for drinks receptions, corporate dinners and evening entertainment.

Q: What styles do jazz singers perform?

The jazz singers perform a range of vocal jazz styles including classic standards, swing, bossa nova, soul-jazz, jazz-pop crossover and Rat Pack-inspired sets. Many jazz singers have a wide repertoire that spans several decades of popular and jazz music.

Q: What events suit a jazz vocalist?

Hiring jazz singers is ideal for wedding receptions, cocktail hours, corporate events, gala dinners, private parties and restaurant entertainment. A jazz vocalist brings warmth, personality and sophistication to any occasion.

Q: Do jazz singers perform with a live band?

Many jazz singers perform with a live accompanist (usually piano or guitar), a small jazz combo or a full band. Some also offer performances with professional backing tracks. A live band provides the most authentic jazz experience. It is worth checking each singer's available formats.

Q: Can jazz singers learn specific songs?

Most jazz singers are happy to learn specific songs for special moments such as a first dance. Jazz singers are often skilled at arranging well-known songs in a jazz style. It is advisable to make song requests in advance to allow time for preparation.

Q: Will a jazz singer perform during the ceremony as well as the reception?

Ceremony singing is less common than reception work, since the repertoire is different, but many singers will cover both where the timings allow. Drinks receptions, the meal and the evening are the usual slots, and they are often quoted as one booking rather than separately. Agreeing which parts of the day are covered at the enquiry stage avoids paying for gaps in between.

Q: Do jazz singers work at smaller private events?

Small private events are common bookings, and a singer with one musician suits a room where a full group would overwhelm the space. Many performers scale the same set down for a private dining room and up for a larger function. Venue limits on volume or space are worth mentioning early, as they usually decide the format rather than the repertoire.

Q: Are jazz singers suitable for background music during dinner?

Dinner sets are a standard part of the work, pitched at a level that lets conversation carry rather than as a featured performance. The same singer will often lift the set afterwards, when the room is ready to listen or dance. Saying which parts of the evening are background and which are the focus shapes how the sets are built.

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

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard .

Q: How far in advance do we need to book?

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

CJ the Pianoman "CJ is a great entertainer his interaction with the people was spot on .I would highly recommend him for any event" Based in Oak Ridge, Tennessee (141 miles from Nashville) Darrell A Ashley - Class reunion

Rodgers Pure Jazz 24/7 "MY DAUGHTER JUST LOVE DARLENE RODGERS' MUSIC. DARLENE RODGERS IS ONE THE GREAT ARTIST EVER, AMEN." Based in Osceola, Arkansas (181 miles from Nashville) Lashunna Jefferson - Entrepreneurs

The Anthony S Experience "Anthony and Jasmine was great to work with. They were on time and flexible once a torrential downpour came and we had to adjust the run of show some. They were even kind enough to let my strolling violinist use their gear when hers started acting up. I would definitely recommend them and use them again if we are back in Atlanta!" Based in Hampton, Georgia (239 miles from Nashville) Jonna B. Thoma. CMP - American Association of Airport Executives

Gary Strickland "Gary has done a few events for me as I am a club advisor to students in college. I would say he is all about performing arts, except for the fact that he is just as good with customer service, and interactions on a business level! If he says he'll do something, he follows through with absolute professionalism. Mr. Strickland has been a solo performer on the trumpet, a singer, an EMCEE, a set designer , a professional photographer and crowd pleaser. Should anything unexpected happen, he has the experience and sharp reactions to handle a burgeoning situation without a hitch. I wish I had the time to simply listen to Gary perform outside of the venues for which I have hired him.
