Solo Performance

Every performance/booking event is a case by case basis. Most situations require a minimum 50% deposit of the total fee to confirm booking. The following is a rough estimate of what Justin charges during peak hours.

Initial 30 minutes of performance - $228

Every 30 minutes added - $76

The initial fee is to cover the time for commute and set-up before the 30 minutes performed. Things that may alter the rate include traveling metropolitan beltways during rush hours, longer commutes more than 30 minutes one way, consultation meetings, contracting, parking fees, registration of vendor insurance, rehearsal attendance, and video previews of requested performance material.

Short-notice booking fees (direct bookings): $76 when confirmed by deposit 7-14 days before the event, or $152 when confirmed 0-6 days before. These are alternative fees, not cumulative.

Rates may be flexible if time requested is not high in demand. Also if the work is routine (assisted living, dining establishment, or any other residency) the rate can be flexible. Justin also has a big heart for charity events so do not hesitate to contact him about your event.

Justin has all of his own professional sound/speaker and keyboard equipment incase the venues do not provide. Usually a power source is coordinated by the event planner or venue.

Ensemble/Group Performance

Justin collaborates with vocalists, guitarists, brass and woodwind players, bassists, drummers, percussionists, string players, sitar and harmonium musicians. Options include piano/vocal duos, jazz ensembles, rock/pop bands, international and themed groups, and Polka Face, his Oktoberfest band performing traditional German music and polka takes on modern hits. Each musician and lineup has its own rate, so group bookings are quoted for the event.

Holiday & Themed Performances

For seasonal and themed celebrations, explore holiday-party piano, accordion and ensemble music or Polka Face, Justin’s Oktoberfest band, featuring traditional German music and polka takes on modern hits.
