Our Price varies from performance to performance. For Private Parties we generally charge at least $900.00 in the greater Tulsa area and $1,200.00 in OKC. The length of the performance is also a factor, but this fee covers traveling expenses and use of PA equipment. We hope you take interest in our music. Thank You very much for visiting our site.
