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.

Hire Steve Earle
aka: Stephen Fain Earle
GRAMMY award-winning Stephen Fain Earle was born on January 17, 1955, in Fort Monroe, Virginia, and raised in San Antonio, Texas. Growing up in a working-class family, Earle showed an early affinity for music, learning guitar at the age of 11. By the time he was a teenager, he had run away from home to pursue his dream of becoming a musician, inspired by icons like Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, both of whom he would later cite as mentors.
Nashville and Songwriting Breakthrough
In the 1970s, Steve Earle relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, where he began his career as a songwriter. He worked odd jobs to make ends meet while honing his craft and eventually landed a publishing deal. During this time, he wrote songs for established artists like Johnny Lee and Carl Perkins. His songwriting skills gained recognition in Nashville’s country music scene, which set the stage for his transition to recording his material.
