Solo Artist is a relaxing, low-key and cost-effective option, perfect to create atmosphere for a relatively short amount of time (for example on guest arrival or cocktails segment) at a wedding ceremony or corporate event. Booking a solo artist allows one to keep within a budget, is perfect for background music and is ideal if there are space limitations.

INSTRUMENTATION

Solo saxophone, or solo piano*, or solo trumpet, or solo guitar (no backing tracks).

*Please note, that in the case of booking a solo pianist, the price includes the pianist providing their own digital keyboard at no additional cost. However, if you would like the pianist to play on a grand piano (and there is not one available at the venue of the performance), then a quote needs to be obtained from a professional piano shop/company to be hire, deliver, tune and remove the piano after the performance. The videos above both utilise a hired-in baby grand piano.

REPERTOIRE

Jazz Standards, Latin jazz (i.e. bossa nova), South African jazz, light pop.

SPACE REQUIRED

1m wide x 1m deep (a larger space is required if a baby grand piano is to be hired)

PERFECT FOR

Low-key music for guest arrival or cocktails at a wedding ceremony, corporate event or private party.

QUALIFICATIONS

All our artists are hand-picked for their years of experience, passion and personal study of music. In addition to that, many have B.Mus and M.Mus degrees, some even have PhD's in jazz studies.

MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE TIME

1 x 60 min sets over a maximum of 1 hour
2 x 50 min sets over a maximum of 2 consecutive hours (20 minute break)

*Please feel free to discuss alternative performance times with a representative from ShoutMC.com and we can advise or quote accordingly.

OTHER

Pianists will bring their own keyboard. If you would like a baby grand piano (like the one seen in the video), it would need to be hired in at an additional cost by a professional piano rental company (which includes transport/tuning/removal, etc.).

Testimonials

Thank you for making our day extremely special. All our guests loved the jazz duo (the best saxophone player in Rondebosch;) ) at the church and you guys also played so amazingly at the reception. DJ AJ then took over and we rocked the dance floor which was just so much fun! I will definitely recommend you further and once again a HUGE THANK YOU!!

I just wanted to swing you a quick mail to say thank you so much for the sterling job you and your crew did over the weekend! Everyone from the technicians to the band and DJ were incredibly prompt, professional, friendly and accommodating. We could not have asked for anything more! The band were extremely tight and played their sets with total class and DJ Cosher had everyone jamming until the last song. It was also great of you to pop in and wish us on the day! It has been a pleasure from start to finish to deal with you company and we will be sure to recommend you to anyone in need of your service.
