Based in Washington D.C., District of Columbia 26th May 2026 Meagan Brown Photo of James Anthony's Salute to Sinatra James Anthony's Salute to Sinatra "James Anthony was amazing when he performed for the United States Congress on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. He arrived early to rehearse with a 20 piece group of musicians and was a huge hit. The Congress Members and Senators were asking where I found him and we at the Las Vegas Metro Chamber of Commerce absolutely recommend him. Due to popular demand, we brought him back the next year to perform for the US Senate for their annual gala." Based in Fairfax, Virginia (15 miles from Washington D.C.)

Frequently asked questions

The average price for singer / songwriters on Gig Heaven is $370, with rates from $110 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.
