For private events, my base fee starts at $500. However, it's important to consider various factors such as equipment, travel, time, and drumming for accurate pricing. To ensure the best pricing for your needs and budget, please let me know your requirements. I offer solo performances in addition to duos with my drummer, providing a solid beat for your feet-tapping or dancing pleasure. Let's chat!Melissa Ellis, known as The Southern Spitfire of Jazz, boasts a one-of-a-kind voice with a powerful impact. Her voice ranges from warm and rich tones reminiscent of classic jazz vocals to soulful and uniquely growling blues vocals. With her signature blend of jazz and blues, coupled with her charming southern accent, she has secured a spot as a 2022 Josie Award Jazz/Blues Vocalist Nominee. Her EP "Live: In the House" showcases jazz and blues melodies, including her own track "Dirty Little Secret," which has been gaining traction on jazz radio. Currently, Melissa is collaborating with jazz piano virtuoso, John Colianni, on a jazz project.

Phenomenal. Melissa Ellis is absolutely wonderful. Despite originally desiring a full band for my reception and cocktail hour event, budget constraints led me to enlist her services. Though hesitant about her solo performance, she presented several options for me to choose from. And let me tell you, her performance was beyond words. I dare say, even a full band wouldn't have been able to replicate her incredible show. It was like stepping into a movie scene as she sang and played the piano all through the night. She turned my wedding reception into a dream-like event.
In fact, she was so good that my maid of honor and another bridesmaid have already booked her for their own weddings and events. Melissa Ellis is worth every penny and more.
Thank you for making my wedding an absolute bliss.

At the Cumberland County Playhouse, we have come to expect the delightful presence of Melissa Ellis in our concert music series. Her captivating melodies and witty humor never fail to amuse and entertain our audiences. Whenever we have the opportunity to showcase her music on our stages, it is our utmost pleasure. Melissa's music is the perfect accompaniment to an outdoor theater experience, especially under the starry night sky. Spend a summer evening with us enjoying blues music and bask in the magic of Melissa Ellis.

Melissa is an outstanding entertainer who can bring life to any party or event you are hosting! I have employed her services a few times before at my coffee shop and I have always been thoroughly impressed with her performance! This was the initial time I had contracted her for a personal function and she was a huge hit with all the guests! I highly endorse her services!
