Soloists
PIANO BAR ENTERTAINER
Piano bar entertainers are dynamic performers who bring the party to life, keeping the energy high and the crowd singing along well into the night. This role is about more than just music—building a connection with your audience through humor and interaction is key.
GUITAR ENTERTAINER
Guitar soloists are dynamic entertainers who can channel the vibes of James Taylor, Eric Clapton, and Fleetwood Mac while putting their own spin on modern rock, soulful R&B, country classics, and chart-topping pop hits. Turning any venue into a lively, sing-along hotspot is a key part of the job.

STEEL PAN PLAYER
Steel pan players should deliver vibrant performances featuring a mix of Caribbean classics, reggae, pop, and calypso. Backing tracks are encouraged to enhance the sound, and vocals are a plus but not required.
Groups
MAINSTREAM DUOS
Mainstream duos should feature two versatile musicians who both sing and play instruments like keys, bass, guitar, or percussion. Strong vocals and the ability to cover genres from Motown to rock to contemporary—acoustic or with backing tracks—are essential.
PARTY BANDS
Party bands should include a 4-piece setup with drums, bass, a harmonic instrument, and at least two vocalists (extra vocals are always a bonus!). Bands with 5-6 members bring the energy with an additional lead vocalist.
LATIN ENSEMBLES
Latin duos, trios, and quartets where each musician is both an instrumentalist—commonly on piano, bass, or drums, though other instruments are great—and a vocalist. Backing tracks are a plus, and bringing lots of energy is essential. If you can deliver a lively mix of Latin genres like salsa, merengue, bachata, and cumbia, this is your chance!
CARIBBEAN ENSEMBLES
Caribbean ensembles can be duos or quartets, blending steel pan with instruments like keys, bass, or percussion to deliver a lively mix of pop, reggae, and calypso. Backing tracks add depth, and the more vocals the better.
JAZZ ENSEMBLES
Trios, quartets, and sextets should include drums, bass (or key-bass), a chordal instrument, and at least one vocalist. Sextets will additionally feature trumpet and saxophone. Multi-instrumentalists and musician-vocalists are highly valued. Repertoire should feature straight-ahead jazz, Latin jazz, jazzy pop renditions, and light pop and blues.
CLASSICAL ENSEMBLES
Classical ensembles, including duos, trios, and quartets, should seamlessly transition from timeless pieces like Bach to modern favorites like The Lord of the Rings theme. The ability to merge classical and contemporary music with high energy is essential. If you can also perform as an electric string ensemble using backing tracks, even better!
COUNTRY MUSIC
Country acts—duos, trios, quartets, and 5-piece bands—should showcase a love for country music, from classics like Johnny Cash to modern stars like Carrie Underwood. Whether in boots and a hat or jeans and a tee, bring your authentic sound and apply today!
