How pricing works

Every artist sets their own rate. We negotiate it for you.

We don't publish price lists because there isn't one. Each performer quotes their own fee, and it changes with the date, the hours, travel and production. Tell us who you want for your Austin event and we'll get the quote, then negotiate the fee and terms on your behalf before you commit to anything.

  • The artist names their price
  • We negotiate it for you
  • You see the final terms first
  • No cost to inquire

How booking works in Austin

  1. 1

    Tell us about your event

    Date, city, guest count, budget and the sound you want. Name a specific artist or describe a style. Either works.

    We shortlist and check availability

    We contact the musicians or the artist's agency, confirm they are available and interested, and bring you real options with real prices.

  3. 3

    We negotiate for you

    Fee, hours, breaks, overtime, travel, sound, rider and cancellation terms. We represent you, the buyer, not the performer.

    You sign one clear agreement. We advance the timeline, load-in and production with your venue so the day runs on schedule.

Austin entertainment booking FAQ

How much does it cost to hire musicians in Austin?+

Every musician and artist sets their own rate, and it depends on the act, your date, hours, travel and production, so we don't publish prices. Tell us who you want and when, and we'll get the quote and negotiate it for your Austin event.

Do you book local Austin musicians or bring talent in?+

Both. We book whoever fits your event best, whether that's a local Austin band, a regional act or a national headliner. When talent travels, we negotiate flights, lodging and ground transport into the offer.

Can you book a famous artist for a private event in Austin?+

Yes. We act as your talent buyer: we confirm interest and availability with the artist's representatives, submit a formal offer and negotiate the fee, rider, production and travel on your behalf.

Do I need to be in Austin to work with you?+

No. We work with clients nationwide by phone, email and video call, and coordinate directly with your venue and planner.

How far in advance should I book entertainment in Austin?+

Spring and fall are peak. Major festival weeks book up hotels and talent, so plan around them. For peak Saturdays and December holiday parties, aim for 6 to 12 months ahead. Headline artists can take 2 to 6 months to confirm.
