Technically, there are plenty of violinists that have better technique and skill. What sets him apart is his unique style of playing and his high level of energy that most violinists can't match. He also plays more relevant songs and plays in such a way that it mimics a vocalist. Watch his promo video for more info.
Absolutely. Spicy is based in Dallas Texas but regularly serves the areas of Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, and has done weddings in places even further like Boston, Cancun, and Denver. Spicy has to charge travel fees for events outside of the DFW area.
Mostly popular covers from the last 30 years, original music, as well as the occasional improv. Spicy Violin will typically do a combination of live looping and playing with tracks unless otherwise specified.
Spicy charges a flat rate for each section of your wedding so you aren't surprised by any hidden fees. The only things that could be extra charges would be to rent a tent (shade is necessary), learn more than 3 new songs, or if your wedding is running more than 15 minutes late (doesn't apply to full service weddings).
The couple always has FULL control over the music. Spicy has a song list of over 750 popular songs you can choose from and allows learning up to three new songs of your choice for free (excluding classical music).
For short bursts, yes. But he will eventually have to mix into the next song so at some point he'll have to put it down. Spicy loves surprising people who hire him for their reception by laying down a fire violin solo over a super fun dance song.
Spicy Violin is fully capable of putting on an amazing show and charming your audience with his persona and wowing them with his incredible looping abilities. Make sure you specify you're looking for a show as his prices for that are slightly higher than for background music.
Unfortunately no. The rate for his time remains constant regardless of the number of people showing up. However, you can check his home page to see if you qualify for a discount.
Spicy can play literally anything but if you want more than what his current song list allows, it might cost extra. He has at least an hour of Bollywood, Christian, Country, R&B, and has a plethora of pop and electronic tracks.
