Photo of CroonerEd CroonerEd "Crooner Ed was absolutely amazing!!! Crooner Ed customized and delivered the most wonderful show for my mother’s 90th birthday! The song choices were perfect and his voice is amazing! I requested songs from the Rat Pack, and was extremely impressed with his choices and execution. A wonderful addition to any special event. Thanks Crooner Ed for playing a part in making my mom’s birthday such a memorable one. Lisa" Based in San Jose, California Lisa Budesa - 1940s/1950's Era Entertainment Photo of Band Saptham Band Saptham "Band Saptham Lit Up the Lesher Center’s Diwali Fair Band Saptham delivered a vibrant, high-energy performance at the Lesher Center for the Arts Diwali Fair, and it was one of the highlights of the celebration. From the first number, the band connected with the crowd. Their set blended familiar favorites with fresh, spirited arrangements, and the musicianship was tight, with strong vocals, confident instrumentals, and a rhythm section that kept the whole audience moving. Families, kids, and longtime fans were soon clapping, singing along, and dancing in the aisles. What set the performance apart was its warmth. The band’s stage presence matched the spirit of Diwali, [Choogaada song , Jawani Jaane mann, Medleys ] The sound was clean and balanced, and the pacing kept the audience engaged from start to finish. For a festival about community and celebration, Band Saptham was a perfect fit. They brought great music, great energy, and a sense of togetherness that made the evening memorable. We’d love to see them back at future events."

Frequently asked questions

The average price for singer / songwriters on Gig Heaven is $370, with rates from $120 to $1,150+. Cost varies based on the artist's experience, set duration and whether the performance is solo acoustic or includes looping, additional instruments or backing tracks. The authentic, personal style of a singer-songwriter creates a distinctive atmosphere for intimate events.

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.

Many singer / songwriters blend their original material with acoustic covers of well-known songs. This mix works well at events where guests want both familiar favourites and something fresh. For the best experience, check each artist's repertoire on their profile.

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.
