Q: Can you dress the part?
A: Yep! Black tie, business casual, country shin-dig, church formal, cosmic peace-fest, or luau - I can dress however needed for the tone/vibe of your event... whatever you need!
Q: Will you learn special songs for my event?
A: YES! With advance notice, I can learn and prepare 4-or-more special requests. If desired, I can also help you choose songs to fit each special moment. Heck, I can even create a parody that is specific to your organization.
Q: Requests? Can I customize a songs list?
A: YES! I provide a massive repertoire list (800+ songs) for all ages, genres, and styles, and you can pre-select your favorites for each moment of event AND a desired song order. I can also be your "human jukebox & mix tape" by bringing my songs-list booklets (800+ songs) and request slips for your guests to submit their song choices and even dedicate a song to someone. If desired, I can also help you choose songs to fit each moment.
Q: How long do you perform? Do you take breaks?
A: I follow your schedule closely, and if a short break is needed, I'll only take a break at an appropriate time. I can play a Spotify playlist through my PA system to keep your preferred vibe going.
Q: Do you travel?
A: Yes. I'm based in western Virginia, but I regularly travel throughout Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia. I'm available to travel if needed, and travel mileage is included in your booking fee.
Q: Do you provide sound equipment? Can you play outdoors?
A: Yes, I bring all the sound gear needed, unless the venue provides it and prefers that I use their gear. I take care of setup and soundcheck in advance to ensure everything runs smoothly, and I always have a backup system. With advance planning, you can also use my sound equipment for announcements or amplification of speeches, video, and more.
A. Yes, I've played dozens of outdoor settings: under a tree or tent, outside a barn, on a shoreline, in a hayfield... All I need is an extension cord (for amplification), OR I can perform unplugged. I also have a small battery-powered amp if needed.
Q: Can I hear you perform before booking?
A: YES! Check my Upcoming Shows for future live performances, check my Videos for a few samples, OR I can send you an audio clip of me performing a song you'd like performed. Use the contact form, or email me directly at barrylenoirmusic@gmail.com.
Q: Cancellation policy? Liability insurance?
A: I require a deposit to hold your date. Cancellations made after a specific date may result in forfeiture of the deposit. All details are in my Performance Contract.
Although it’s not often required, I can have event-specific liability insurance through my provider. I can provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) if your venue asks for one.
Q: How do I book you?
A: Use the contact form, or email me directly at barrylenoirmusic@gmail.com with questions and details of your event. I’ll set up a free consultation by phone or Zoom to discuss your vision and design a music package that fits event, gathering, dinner, any announcements, dancing, and all your creative ideas.
