FAQs
Q: What is the booking process like?
A: First, fill out the inquiry form on the contact page on my website. Be sure to include the date, time, location, and act you're inquiring about (solo, duo, 5-piece band, etc.). We can also provide a quote with some multiple options. Once the inquiry form is sent, Joey will respond within 48 hours. If Joey is available, he'll discuss details via email. Once everything is confirmed you'll be sent a signed agreement in which you'll be asked to read over and sign. If Joey is unavailable, he'll respond with a list of highly recommended musicians in the area.
