Booking Questions

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR MUSIC?

I call it pop-laced folk-rock. A blend of upbeat toe tappers, thoughtful ballads with some catchy, quirky and funny things along the way. As a songwriter I have a deep well of originals to draw from but I also play covers from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, like a good mix tape. Just let me know what kind of show you want at your venue.



HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE?

I usually charge $50 per performance hour. (Subject to travel distance on occasion.) Let me know your budget. I always have a tip jar and merch to sell also. Let's talk.



DO YOU HAVE YOUR OWN SOUND EQUIPMENT?

Yes. I travel with a compact sound system, stands, mics and cords. I am a solo act, so I don't take up much room. I can fit most all venues.



WHAT OTHER VENUES HAVE YOU PLAYED?

Please see the up to date list at the top of this page.



DO YOU TRAVEL FOR GIGS?

Yes. The price may vary on the distance, but I do travel. I have played in 11 states and once in Canada (so far).



WE DON'T HAVE ASCAP/BMI LICENCES. CAN YOU PLAY ORIGINALS?

Yes. I have been writing songs for 30 years and can easily put together 2 to 3 hours of original music that will entertain your audience. If you would like to sample some of my original music, you can go here: https://soundcloud.com/epschwartz/sets/the-schwartz-sampler



DO YOU PLAY COVERS?

ep. Music from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. (the ratio of covers to originals usually depends on the venue. Let me know what you would like).

DO YOU TAKE REQUESTS?

I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS. HOW CAN I CONTACT YOU?

DO YOU DO HOLIDAY PARTIES?

DO YOU HELP PROMOTE?

Absolutely! I use social meda - Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, to promote all my shows. On Facebook, if I don't have a known audience in the area, I will often pay for a little FB promotion also. I also have fliers that I can send via email for you to print off or that I can mail, if needed. Feel free to check out my social media (where I am quite active):
