Let's Talk!

If you'd like to host an event in your home, church, fundraiser, gallery, school, or other venue, get in touch and we can talk about options and the timing. I'd love to play for you, your family, friends, congregation, piano teachers, students, and guests!

How Much Will it Cost? My fee varies depending on distance, travel expenses, and whether I can group other events together with yours in a single trip. Also taken into account is whether the concert is a private event, a public event with ticketing, a fund-raiser, church-ministry based, or a special event for piano students.

Below see the breakdowns for each type of event:

House Concerts & Private Events: I'll come and play for you, your family, and friends at your home on your piano—or any other intimate event space you may have access to with a piano! Imagine inviting your friends and family over for "An Evening at the Piano with David Nevue—Live in Your Living Room!" It will be a memorable evening of music, laughter, and inspiration for your guests! If you have access to a well-cared-for piano that's in good working order (the piano doesn't have to be a grand piano, either—an upright is fine), let's talk about it and see if we can come to an agreement on a workable date and price to cover my performance and travel expenses. One other thing: I do ask that the piano be tuned up a day or two just prior to the concert, so include piano tuning in your budget. My base fee for a house concert or private event is $1,500 plus travel expenses if you are within a two day drive of me (I'm in Johnson City, TN.) If my getting to you requires a flight, my base fee is $2,000 plus travel expenses. If you have a proposal, email me directly at dnevue@gmail.com. Let's talk!

Church Events & Fundraisers: I'd love to share my music and stories with your church family! We have the option of making the concert a fundraiser for a specific ministry, mission, local food bank, or other project your church supports. We can get creative with donations and/or ticketing so that my fee/expenses are also covered. For pastors or church decision-makers who aren't familiar with what I do, here's a link to my mission statement, which outlines what a "David Nevue" concert looks like in a church ministry context. If you have a proposal, idea, or any questions at all, email me directly at dnevue@gmail.com.

Events for Piano Teachers & Students: Piano teachers and student families, I love playing concerts for piano students! I know many of you are playing and teaching my music as part of your lesson plans (thank you!), and it would be great fun to come and play and share with the "next generation" of pianists in person! We could do a Q&A time, talk about the inspiration for my work, my approach to composition, and provide encouragement and motivation for your piano students! Events like these are great fun and have a long-reaching impact on young players. My base fee for events is generally $1,500 plus travel expenses, if you are within a two day drive of me (I'm in Johnson City, TN.) However, I'm a big believer in inspiring the next generation of pianists, so let's talk, and see if we can come to an agreement that works for both of us. Email your thoughts and proposal directly to dnevue@gmail.com.

Other Venues & Opportunities: If there's a local spot you know of (a piano hall, store, art gallery, coffee shop, or small auditorium) that has a piano in an intimate space (seating 50-200 for a public show) that you believe would make a warm, intimate setting for a concert (or a private event), I'd love to explore that! You might even consider renting a small venue to host a private concert for your friends and co-workers! My fee and costs vary depending on the type of event (private concert, see above) or whether we can make it a ticketed event for the public. Get in touch with your proposal or idea! Email me directly at dnevue@gmail.com.

To discuss the possibilities, email me at dnevue@gmail.com with your proposal, budget, and any questions. In your email, let me know the type of event you'd like to host (house concert, public ticketed event, ministry event, background music, fundraiser, concert/workshop for piano students, etc.), along with details about the venue/space, the type of piano piano, and how many seats. Based on the information you provide, I can quote you an all-inclusive flat rate—or, if you have a specific proposal based on your budget, make me an offer, and we can try to find an arrangement that works for both of us. Keep in mind, you'll also need to provide a piano for the event that's well-maintained, tuned up just prior to the show, and in good working order. The piano doesn't have to be a grand piano—an upright is fine—so long as it's been taken care of.

If you'd like to talk about scheduling a performance now or in the future, email me at dnevue@gmail.com! Even if you can't budget for a show right now, get in touch and let me know you're interested. You never know what the future holds. I look forward to hearing from you!
