My New Friend,
WELCOME!
And thank you for considering me as your entertainer for a most special event!
I would be honored to help your event SHINE, and create an experience your guests CANNOT stop talking about! ✨
MY EXPERIENCE:
In just over a year of full-time operation within the events space, I have:
1. Booked Over 100 Performances
2. Generated Over 150k in Booking Revenues
3. Been Awarded and Maintained Prestigous Top-Pro Status on Thumbtack Nationwide
I have been blessed to play for loving brides and grooms as they walk down the aisle on their biggest day.
I have played for Fortune 500 companies as they graciously reward employees and clients.
I’ve played for VIPs at Olympic Qualifying Events.
I’ve helped throw countless RAGERS (high-energy parties) that will be talked about forever.
There is no vibe unseen.
From yachts, to ballrooms. From the heart of metropolis to the middle of nature. I’ve played in tiny corners and atop massive stages and everything in between.
My song list is extensive and inclusive, reflecting countless hours of effort and building. It features music that is familiar and resonant, across all-genres (sans mariachi, pre-prohibition era) played in a style that is fresh and personal to my experience. (List available on website above!)
SERVICES I PROVIDE:
- Solo Acoustic Performance (Vocals and/or Guitar)
- DJ
- Accompanying Acoustic Musicians
- Full Band Shows
- Professional (Self) Recordings
- Emceeing/Speaking Appearances
SERVICES I DO NOT PROVIDE:
- Booking Agency For External Talent
- Free/Exposure/Non-Compensated
- Looping/Tracks
TRAVEL SCHEDULE:
I travel across and out of the country throughout the year, booking to booking, most-often in my touring van with my pup Cabela 🐶, taking flights when ground transportation has been deemed unsuitable.
I am most often in South Florida “eventing”November through March, doing fly-outs/day-week trips as booked through the season (staying in warm weather as much as I can), but am ALWAYS open to accommodating your spectacular event requests.
I DO NOT CHARGE TRAVEL FEES.
My quoted rates are flat, as opposed to hourly (reflecting demand and opportunity cost), and all-inclusive: Booking, Performance, Sound, Lighting, Travel.
***I Offer Insurance Upon Request***
QUICK NOTE ON MARKET POSITIONING AND PRICING (PLEASE READ BEFORE REQUESTING QUOTE VIA THUMBTACK OR OTHERWISE):
There is a phrase I tell every potential client looking for a “deal” or a budget provider:
“You will ALWAYS be able to find someone to do it for less in this market.”
I am however, not that provider. I am exclusively a premium provider.
If you choose to contact multiple providers, there is a strong chance I will be your highest quote. There is also a chance my quote will fall above your budget. Please reach out directly (via my website) for budget concerns, and I will do my best to accommodate honestly, as I am able.
There are three things you will ALWAYS find in your personal booking experience with me that can easily and most often will be sacrificed in “budget bottoming” or working with multi-level booking agencies:
1. Professionalism
2. Top Quality Music and Entertainment
3. Tip to Tail Premium, Personal Booking Experience
In my humble opinion (and experience as I’ve seen from inquirers pre and post), the cost of having a proven, invested, CARING provider always outweighs the alternative.
PHILANTROPY:
For 501(c)3, pro-bono, and philanthropic requests, kindly email as listed on website.
I have a passion for service and am happy to discuss requests for performance OUTSIDE of PRIME BUSINESS HOURS (non-weekend, Mon-Wed)
FINALLY,
PLEASE take time to read the thoughtful reviews from all of my wonderful clients throughout the country, and never hesitate to call directly for any questions or aid in helping plan your special event.
I can’t wait to join you for an unforgettable time together,
Frank Giovetti
MINIMUM FEE:
1.0K (local, < 1hr travel, < 1 hr performance, non-prime business hours)
