FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A: Weddings, corporate events, fundraisers, private parties, festivals, conferences, faith-based events, tailgates, public events, concerts, restaurants, and yes... even funerals! I have options to fit whatever tone/vibe you need: elegant background music; high-energy dancing; listening room concert; and everything between. See "PRICING" below.

A: Yep! Suit and tie, or jeans and tee - I can dress however needed for the tone/vibe of your event: cocktail hour; tuxedo wedding; corporate event; moody rock star; Grateful Dead cover show... whatever you need!

A: Both! I mostly perform solo, AND I can gather my bandmates for bass and percussion - all based on YOUR needs for your event. Add keyboard, electric lead guitar, and other instruments, based on availability of my band mates.

A: YES! I provide a massive repertoire list (800+ songs) for all ages, genres, and styles, and you can pre-select your favorites and a desired song order. I can also be your "human jukebox & mix tape" at your event by bringing my songs-list booklets (800+ songs) and request slips for guests to submit their song choices and even dedicate a song to someone.

A: YES! With advance notice, I can learn and prepare 3-or-4 (or more)  special requests for your first dance, processional, recessional, bridal party walk-ins, parent dance, and for your event's special moments.

A: I tailor set lengths to your event. For parties and restaurants, I typically play 3 hours with one short break at the half-way point. At weddings or corporate events, I follow your schedule closely, and if a break is needed, I can play a Spotify playlist through my PA system to keep your preferred vibe going.

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.

See "PRICING" below, and contact me with any questions at barrylenoirmusic@gmail.com. Rates vary based on the type/complexity of event, length of event, and band size.

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 ceremony, 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.

A: See my Wedding Music page. Use the contact form, or email me directly at barrylenoirmusic@gmail.com. I’ll set up a free consultation by phone or Zoom to discuss your vision and design a music package that fits your ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, any announcements, dancing, and all your creative ideas.

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 at your event. Use the contact form, or email me directly at barrylenoirmusic@gmail.com.

A: I require a deposit to hold your wedding date and/or your event to which I must travel. 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.
