FINE DINING, RESORTS & CAFES
I provide background ambient music at rates that are always in line with prevailing costs. For restaurants near the Asheville metro, I will come in and play one hour of a time you choose, as a field test to see if it works. Rates are charged by the hour, in increments of an hour and vary if regular weekly performances are booked. Please call for details.GALLERIES, CORPORATE AND OTHER AFFAIRS
Costs and programs are determined by location, size, profile of attendees and personal preferences, with most occasions starting at $250.00 for a three hour appearance. These events are negotiable and have a wide range of variables. Again, please call to discuss.OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS!
I wear a dark blue two-piece Lauren suit with a white shirt and business tie unless otherwise directed. For less formal events I where a long sleeve pullover collarless shirt and tan slacks. I usually arrive one hour before an event to set up and do a sound check. I do not drink or smoke. If there are any special items needed to make your occasion fit your wishes, they are decided upon during our consultation. Please speak up about everything you wish.
To hold-your-date, a $50 deposit is required, non-refundable but deducted from the fee. A very simple contract will be sent to you at that time, its main purpose being to have you record the details, terms, dates, addresses and contact info for my files; it also legally assures you of my services. Any event within 2 hours of Asheville are without charge. Travel beyond is charged at $50 an hour unless prior agreements are made due to circumstances.
James is a member of the Asheville Chamber of Commerce, and a past or current member of AFM#802 NYC, SAG, AFTRA and other professional associations.
