Acoustic Pop Soloist for Palm Beach Cocktail Parties & Private Events

Who Should I Hire as an Acoustic Pop Soloist for a Cocktail Party in Palm Beach?

For a Palm Beach cocktail party, the right hire is a vocalist who can read the room, hold a stripped-down solo or duo set without losing energy, and build the evening around pop, R&B, soul, jazz, and rock classics guests already know — not background music that fades into the wallpaper. Sydney Small has fronted a four-piece band around New York City since 2018 and has performed at private weddings, high-end events, and exclusive shows for celebrity audiences going back to the start of her career in Los Angeles. Her sound is inspired by powerhouse voices like Amy Winehouse, Adele, and Aretha Franklin, and she's performed at some of New York City's most respected live music venues, including The Groove, the W Hotel, the Rainbow Room, Café Wha?, The Flatiron Room (NoMad and Murray Hill), Prohibition, The Red Lion, and Casa Cipriani — a résumé that translates directly to the polish Palm Beach hosts expect from a solo cocktail-hour performer.

What's Included in the Solo / Duo Cocktail Party Format

• Solo with backing tracks or stripped-down duo — the same repertoire and vocal delivery she brings to a full four-piece band, scaled to fit a cocktail party, private dinner, or smaller room
• A set list built for your crowd — pop, R&B, soul, jazz, and rock classics, learned and rehearsed for the specific event
• Most bookings run 45 to 90 minutes of live singing
• A clean, on-time set — no generic cover-band playlist
• PA provided if your venue needs one

Why Couples and Hosts Choose Sydney for Intimate, High-End Settings

Sydney's career began performing at private weddings, high-end events, and exclusive shows for celebrity audiences, originally in Los Angeles, before she moved to New York and built a name fronting a four-piece band around the city. That background — reading a room, learning the songs a client actually wants, and delivering a clean, professional set — is what she brings to a Palm Beach cocktail party or private event booking, whether it's a backyard, a rooftop, a hotel suite, a private club, or a private residence.
