~~~Positive, professional, and engaging…wherever your plans take us!~~~ Frank Giovetti . com / Private Events ⬆️⬆️⬆️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⬆️⬆️⬆️ (THOUGHTFUL REVIEWS, PROFESSIONAL MUSIC CLIPS, COMPREHENSIVE VIDEO COLLECTION, DIRECT CONTACTS & MORE) 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)

UpFront is a versatile musical group and solo performers who specialize in professional, live music and entertainment for any special occasion and voted one of the best wedding bands on Thumbtack (thumbtack.com/or/portland/wedding-bands/). Our focus is on jazz (smooth, standard, and swing), Latin, ballroom dance and our own twist on classic rock-n-roll, oldies and pop songs for parties and classical music for wedding ceremonies. We will tailor our performance to your needs at reasonable rates. Chris Bidleman (piano, keyboards, and bass) and Steve Burpee (saxophones), the founders of the band, have been playing music together since junior high school and in 2002, formed UpFront. Chris and Steve are joined by Robert Schultz on drums and are often fused together with good friends Jason Hafer on bass and Larry Pindar on guitar. UpFront can provide different configurations of musicians -- a duo of piano and sax for small events or wedding ceremonies, a jazz trio for the company meetings or a larger combo that can get people out of their chairs and dancing to Big Band Swing, Latin, R&B, and classic rock and roll. UpFront has been featured on Portland's KINK.FM, a local music spotlight radio show. While we often focus on jazz, there are no single labels to describe the wide range of musical styles we can perform. We can play oldies and pop tunes from every decade. We love to play cultural favorites, seasonal standards, and even classical music. Our playlist currently has well over 500 songs, but we can play many, many more, and we love to take song requests from the audience. We can perform as a solo, duo, trio, or larger band to meet your needs and budget. We will travel within the states of Washington and Oregon but are based in the Portland, OR, and Vancouver, WA area. Please enjoy listening to our sample music online at our website. Your satisfaction is our first commitment. UpFront would love to be part of your special event and to personally tailor a performance to your specific needs at reasonable rates. We have performed at so many different events and love to change the style of music we play to fit the mood of the crowd and location of the event. We don't write music sets but will work with our clients to find the songs they want to hear and the joy we see when people recognize a song we are playing that perhaps they haven't heard in a long time and the smile it brings, that makes our job very satisfying. Please read our reviews and you will see that we can adapt well to nearly any situation or event that would benefit from a live music performance.
