On average, a professional jazz singer costs $400-$900 for a 2-hour performance. The exact price will vary depending on travel costs, the length of the performance, the singer’s popularity, and their experience level.
Many jazz singers perform with live bands or can collaborate with local musicians to create a complete jazz ensemble experience. Other jazz singers might just play a single instrument themselves, like piano, or use backing tracks.
Performance lengths can vary based on the event’s requirements and the agreed-upon set duration. They can often range from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on your needs. On GigSalad, jazz singers are most commonly booked for 2 hours.
Keep in mind, for longer performances, you should schedule breaks every 30-45 minutes to give the singer time to rest their voice and hydrate.
Most jazz singers will have a repertoire of songs they draw from when building a setlist for an event. You should review their song list in advance and let them know which songs you would like to be included in their performance.
If there’s a specific tune not already in their repertoire that you want to be performed, you should let the singer know at the time of booking. With enough notice, they may be able to prepare it for your event.
Some jazz singers will have all the equipment needed for their performance, including microphones, a sound system, or stage lighting. Others may require the client and/or venue to provide the necessities. You should discuss these specifics with the singer and your venue in advance so everyone knows who is responsible for what.
With any entertainment or music, you should book talent as early as possible. Many singers’ schedules fill up quickly, so securing them early will ensure you get the performer you want. As soon as you’ve selected your event date, you should begin your search for the perfect jazz singer.
A jazz singer will add a touch of elegance to all types of parties and events, including weddings, birthdays, gala dinners, corporate functions, cocktail receptions, or art gallery openings. A jazz band or singer would be especially great for events with vintage themes like the Roaring 20s. You could also consider jazz music for the festive tunes at your next holiday party.
