Original artists in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada range from a solo singer-songwriter with an acoustic guitar to a full band or a rapper with a DJ, and the common thread is a repertoire they wrote themselves. Some have released records and play festivals; others are working musicians who fold three or four of their own songs into a covers set. The profile tells you which, and the audio and video on it are the quickest way to judge whether the sound fits the event.
Original acts suit the parts of an event where people listen rather than dance: a drinks reception, a dinner, a festival slot or a launch where the music is meant to be noticed. For a wedding party or a dancefloor, ask how much of the set is covers, because a room full of guests who do not know the songs is the one thing an originals act cannot fix. Many will learn a first-dance song or a request if asked in advance.
Fees for original artists in Halifax run from $170 to $2,900+, with most bookings around $650. A solo acoustic set sits at the bottom of the range and a band with its own sound engineer at the top; an act with a following charges for the name as well as the set. Travel and a PA, where the venue has none, are the usual extras.
The average price for Originals Artists available in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada is $650 (CAD). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Kirsten Kirk and the Dirty Work
"Kirsten Kirk and the Dirty work played my bachelor part and they were awesome"
Who.iAm

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."
Nitin Sharma
"I invited Nitin to perform on stage solo for our private event. He performed for close to 2 hours non-stop and I don't have words to share how awesome he was. Incredible voice and an incredible perforamce that will be remembered for many years. Everyone in the hall enjoyed his songs and guitar to the fullest and it was a night to remember. Good Luck to Nitin he comes across a big future star indeed. 2 Thumps Up!"
Corey Rieman and The Dilemma Band
"How do I get across how good this band is. Everyone is so talented. And the lead singer has a talent and a charisma that is unique, real and wholly impressive. His voice is so genuine and so pleasantly different. Lead guitar dude rips. Just absolutely rips. Rhythm section crushed it at full groove level. Drummer is crisp and on it , bass is always on point. The woman on tambourine added such a nice flavor. Hired for an outside town event. Everyone loved the band. Everybody. It’s a no brainer"
The Virtual Band nyc
"The Virtual Band gave one of the most memorable concerts I have ever seen…
There was no better proof of the universal appeal of this band than the packed and diverse house."
