The choice to hire Eliza Rush and her band did not come quickly. After interviewing several quality artist, I knew I discovered the right professional for this important family event. She was responsive, enthusiastic and accommodating to our several changes. Even day of event when the start time had been adjusted earlier, Eliza made the change work with no drama. Beautifully talented and thoughtful, she made this event a hit without it becoming self promoting. People are still talking with me about the perfect performance she provided.

About Eliza Rush
No two celebrations are alike. Your music shouldn’t be either. From backyard birthdays and graduation parties to anniversaries, weddings, and milestone celebrations, I build each performance around the people in the room—not a prepackaged setlist. Some clients want Fleetwood Mac and the Beatles around a backyard fire pit. Others want Motown for a milestone birthday, country favorites for a graduation party, or a Latin band for a wedding celebration. The music should fit the occasion—not the other way around. That’s why I don’t believe in cookie-cutter playlists or one-size-fits-all bands. Every event begins with a conversation about your guests, your musical tastes, and the atmosphere you want to create. From there, I build a performance that fits your celebration—whether that’s a laid-back acoustic duo, a lively party band, or something in between. With more than 30 years of professional performance experience, I’ve learned that great event music isn’t about playing the same songs at every party. It’s about understanding the crowd, reading the room, and creating the right soundtrack for the people you’ve gathered together. Available as a soloist, duo, trio, or full band, with customized song selections and flexible ensemble options to fit your event. My goal is simple: music that feels like it belongs at your celebration. Please note: My minimum investment is $2000 for a duo performance.

I was looking for a band to perform at an outdoor pool 95th birthday party. Family, friends and neighbors would be there, so I wanted someone good. Not knowing Eliza Rush nor her music, (she responded to my request almost immediately), I listened to some of her original stuff on You Tube, and realized she has a great voice. After responding to her, she asked me what I was looking for, what type of music I liked. I like a lot and told her Motown, Classic Rock, Oldies, Blues rock and Country. After hearing this, she told me she had the perfect group of guys to perform at my party. I figured Eliza’s voice was very good, how bad could the band be? Well, they were not only good, they were great! Eliza coordinated my requests and the band performed all the genres of music I requested. Totally exceeding my expectations! In addition to that, the band members performed vocally as well as Eliza. From singing “My Girl” by the Temptations to Johnny Cash to John Denver and Neil Diamond, to singing “Birthday” by the Beatles, they performed it all. What I liked most about Eliza’s band was that it didn’t seem like work to them. They were constantly smiling while performing and seemed to be having as much fun as my guests! What a great night, I was fielding compliments about the band all night! Eliza and her band were the cherry on top of the birthday cake!
Eliza and her team were beyond excellent and an absolute pleasure to work with. They WAY over-delivered and made the night so memorable. Eliza's bandmate, Ian, played keyboard beautifully during happy hour before we moved to a tented area where the full band ROCKED for 3 hours... And then we asked them to play another 30 minutes, which they did, before concluding with Bruce's Dancing in the Dark to surprise my wife (a custom request for her favorite song). Eliza also made the booking process seamless and communicated clearly from the first outreach to the last. They showed up an hour+ early for setup and sound check. Truly a pleasure to work with the entire crew and I could not recommend them more highly.
I came into town to visit friends and we needed a band for a last minute get together. Eliza was amazing! She delivered a fun experience that everyone enjoyed! She was beyond our expectations and I highly recommend her!
Eliza and her band were fabulous! They arrived early and were well researched on the type of music we were looking for, which is not what they typically play. They achieved the desired mood and I received so many compliments. I highly recommend them for tour next event.
I had the pleasure of working with Eliza and her band on two sperate occasions this summer, as we planned and held two special events at two different YMCA locations. From the very start Eliza was a joy to work with, she was very responsive, she listened to our vision and/or needs, and then provided us with a very thorough, well executed, and fair quote. Most importantly, the quality of the music and experience that was provided by Eliza and her band without a doubt exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Eliza Rush for any of your live music and special events needs!
I recently had the pleasure of having Eliza Rush (and band) perform at my wife’s surprise 60th birthday party at a pavilion behind our house. I must say, they were absolutely fantastic! Their sound quality was top-notch, making it feel like we had our private concert right in our backyard. What truly stood out was their professionalism. They arrived on time, set up efficiently, and engaged with the guests in a friendly and courteous manner. It felt as if they were part of the celebration, which added a personal touch to the performance. Eliza developed a playlist to match the crowd’s vibe, ensuring everyone had a great time. Communication throughout the entire process was smooth and hassle-free. Eliza Rush (and band) exceeded all expectations and made my wife's birthday party an unforgettable event. I highly recommend them for any occasion where you want exceptional music and a professional, accommodating, and talented band.
They were very professional! And did an amazing job playing to the crowd. Would highly recommend looking for great live music!!
Eliza Rush and her band were fantastic and made my husband’s birthday party extra special! Eliza was a pleasure to work with- scheduling was easy and she was amenable to all my requests. The band showed up well on time, was dressed for the occasion, and gave a wonderful performance! My guests raved! Highly recommend.
Very personable and effective with our train riders, fun to work with, will definitely reach out to her group again for future events.
