Although less frequently requested, the following might be considered, also.
- A non-performance personal appearance.
An example would be to hire a celebrity to attend a private or corporate party as simply a (non-performing) guest to mingle with other guests, or to hire the celebrity to do a meet-and-greet at your party.
- A virtual performance.
A virtual performance is a live or recorded show—such as a concert, play, dance, comedy act, or other artistic presentation—that is broadcast or streamed online instead of being performed in front of a physical audience. Artists perform live from a studio, venue, or even their homes and stream the show on platforms like YouTube, Twitch, or Instagram Live. Essentially, a virtual performance brings entertainment to audiences through the internet rather than in-person venues.

Oliver Anthony Biography
aka: Christopher Anthony Lunsford
Based in: Tennessee
Based in: Nashville
Christopher Anthony Lunsford, who performs under the name of Oliver Anthony and releases music under the name Oliver Anthony Music, is an American country-folk singer-songwriter. In August 2023, he released the single, “Rich Men North of Richmond”, independently, which debuted at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making Anthony the first artist to debut atop the chart without any prior charting history in any form.
The video of Oliver Anthony performing “Rich Men North of Richmond” was uploaded to YouTube on August 8, 2023, and immediately went viral. Billboard described it as taking on “politicians, taxes, welfare, and other issues from a struggling working man’s perspective”, and various news sources described themes in it as anti-establishment, conservative, or conspiratorial. It was publicized by personalities including singer-songwriter John Rich, podcaster Joe Rogan, and political commentators Jack Posobiec and Matt Walsh.
The song went to number 1 on the U.S. iTunes all-genres chart within days, and to number 1 on the Spotify U.S. and Apple Music charts a few days later. Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares called Anthony’s performance “unreal Virginia talent.” NBC News reported on August 14 that the original video upload had over nine million views in the space of five days and noted a comment on it that had attracted 11,000 likes: “And just like that, you became the voice of 40 or 50 million working men.”

On August 13, 2023, Oliver Anthony performed a free show at a farmers’ market in Barco, North Carolina, which he opened with the reading of verses from Psalm 37 about evildoers. He was joined by a surprise guest, Jamey Johnson.
In a Facebook post on August 17, 2023, Anthony described what he believes to be the reasons for his popularity: “I wrote the music I wrote because I was suffering with mental health and depression. These songs have connected with millions of people on such a deep level because they’re being sung by someone feeling the words in the very moment they were being sung. No editing, no agent, no bullshit. Just some idiot and his guitar.”

On August 22, 2023, Anthony released a new music video for “I Want to Go Home” via YouTube. Views exceeded one million in 24 hours.
Oliver Anthony said in a video in August 2023 that he is nonpartisan: “I sit pretty dead center down the aisle on politics and always have.” Later that month, Anthony said he was bothered by others who “wrap politics” around his work. “I see the right trying to characterize me as one of their own, and I see the left trying to discredit me, I guess in retaliation. That shit’s got to stop,” he said.
On March 29, 2024, Anthony announced his debut studio album Hymnal of a Troubled Man’s Mind, which was released on March 31.
Hits include:
- Rich Men North of Richmond
