Photo of Steve Lyon Music Steve Lyon Music "Steve was amazing. He was incredible to work with and everyone at the party wanted his business card to have him for an event of theirs! His voice is perfect and he is so talented. He matches the energy of the party and elevated the entire experience. 10/10 recommend!!! Couldn’t say enough good things!" Based in Providence, Rhode Island (24 miles from Newport) Sandra - Private event Photo of Mc Junior Mc Junior "He is the Chris Stapleton of Cape Cod. I love when he does Tennessee Whiskey" Based in Boston, Massachusetts (61 miles from Newport) Sonja T. - Sand Dollar Bar & Grill Photo of Who.iAm Who.iAm "Who.iAm? More like What.iAm feeling is amazed at the talent and creativity. Out of all the music I've ever hear, Who.iAm certainly makes it!" Based in Boston, Massachusetts (61 miles from Newport) Vageena Hurtz - Hysterectomy Going Away Party 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!" Based in Manchester, Connecticut (65 miles from Newport) Lindsey Dunphy - Wedding Photo of Randy McGravey Randy McGravey "I wanted a live guitarist for my wedding. I was looking for instrumentals for a pre-ceremony cocktail hour, and for the ceremony. My ceremony was OUTSIDE in December in New Hampshire. Being cold was a given, and when I first found Randy online and described my vision a bit, he didn't once hesitate about it being outside. He always got back to my emails the same day. He had great song suggestions when I didn't know what was typical. His acoustics were exceptional and moving and perfect, not to mention at a price that didn't break the bank. Easiest decision of my wedding was hiring Randy. 10/10 would recommend to anybody looking for instrumentals OR vocals." Based in Nashua, New Hampshire (88 miles from Newport) Holly - Wedding Photo of The Midnight Anthem The Midnight Anthem "They are a female Simon & Garfunkle! Beautiful harmony, talented songwriting. Really enjoyed their performance at The Nest...look forward to seeing them again sometime soon!"

Frequently asked questions

The average price for singer / songwriters on Gig Heaven is $350, with rates from $120 to $1,150+.

The singer / songwriters for hire perform their own original songs, often in an acoustic or stripped-back style. Many also cover well-known songs, giving them a unique personal arrangement. This creates a distinctive, intimate performance that cannot be heard anywhere else.

Hiring singer / songwriters suits a wide range of events including weddings, private parties, corporate events, restaurant entertainment, festivals and intimate gatherings. The personal, authentic style of a singer-songwriter creates a warm, engaging atmosphere.

Many singer / songwriters offer custom songwriting services, creating an original song for a wedding, anniversary, corporate event or special occasion. This makes a unique and memorable gift or centrepiece for the celebration. Gig Heaven recommends contacting the artist well in advance for custom commissions.

For small, intimate settings, many singer / songwriters can perform acoustically. For larger venues or outdoor events, a small PA system is usually needed. Most singer-songwriters bring their own amplification. It is worth confirming the setup based on the venue.
