**Paula has full gear available to set up at additional charge (including portable keyboard and distance speakers suitable for large rooms or outdoors). Paula keeps pricing fair for Senior Healthcare markets by using the available equipment, since many facilities have a piano on the premises. When there is no piano, or the piano location/position hinders engagement, Paula uses the guitar. She will bring in a small vocal speaker at no additional charge as needed to boost vocals over a bold/grand piano or in larger rooms. Paula's daughter, Amber, is occasionally available to accompany Mom for some amazing vocals & harmonies on a limited basis in the local Triangle area. Travel fees will apply outside of the immediate Triangle - ask about what range is covered - generally when greater than 30 minutes drive to/from NW Raleigh. With a busy calendar, Paula often books more than one performance on any given date. In particular - if possible to serve a specific geographical location in one day or overnight trip, bookings may be coordinated around that area for that date. Holiday rates apply when bookings occur on a specific holiday date (i.e. Valentine's Day, St Patricks Day, Mother's Day, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Halloween, Veteran's Day, the last 2 weeks of December before Christmas, Christmas Eve Day, and premium rate for New Year's Eve - this list is not all inclusive.)
