About Vendor
Learn more about this vendor for your event.
My Better Half: Experience You Can Hear My Better Half is the husband-and-wife duo of Frank and Ellen Adams. We aren’t just two people with a setlist; we’re career musicians who have spent years learning how to read a room, connect with an audience, and—most importantly—keep the party moving. Our setlist is a deep dive through the 1960s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and into the 2000s. From the smooth grooves of Motown and the salt-air vibes of Carolina Beach Music to the polished production of Yacht Rock and the anthems of Classic Rock, we bring a level of versatility that keeps every guest engaged, regardless of their age. Based in Charlotte and performing across the Southeast for years, we specialize in providing a professional entertainment experience that feels like a conversation with old friends—if those friends happened to have a massive song repertoire and a knack for knowing exactly what song the room needs to hear next. :) Our mission? My Better Half is about bringing a high level of professional care to your special occasion. We love what we do, and we’d love to provide the entertainment for your event. Tailored for Every Event We know when to provide the ideal ambiance and when to be "entertainment forward." Weddings & Rehearsal Dinners: We create a family-friendly vibe for all ages. Bonus: We provide professional DJ and MC services (introductions, first dances, etc.) at no additional charge. Wineries, Restaurants & Private Parties: From upscale country clubs to casual backyard bashes, we strike the perfect balance between atmosphere and engagement. Festivals & Corporate Events: We show up with a "heaping helping" of hits and a professional, easy-to-work-with attitude that makes your job as a host effortless. Why book us? Professional Polish: Decades of experience mean we know how to read a room and keep the energy exactly where it needs to be. A "Variety" Mindset: We’re much more than two people with instruments; we’re a dedicated entertainment act designed to stand out with a wide variety of music for all ages. Intentional Volume: We prioritize the comfort of your guests. Our setup allows us to deliver a full-bodied sound at a level that remains tasteful. We believe music should enhance an event, not overpower it. Our volume is entirely controllable, meaning your guests can enjoy the full depth of the music while still holding a comfortable conversation. The Marriage Advantage: We’ve been harmonizing—on and off stage—for years. That means seamless transitions, tight vocals, and just enough playful banter to make your guests feel like part of the family. We take pride in being the most reliable part of your event planning. We’re accessible, easy to communicate with, and focused on the details that make a host’s life easier. We take our music seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. We’d love to talk about your upcoming event and show you how we can help get the ball rolling!

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on June 13, 2025•From Shelby, NC
My Better Half:
Hello Leah! Thanks very much for the kind words. Thank you for including us on such a special occasion. Your parents are incredible people and we were absolutely honored to play for their 50th wedding anniversary celebration. You did a wonderful job with the details and the afternoon could not have been any better. We came through Shelby recently on another performance and we thought of stopping to see your folks but we decided that it was probably a bit too late in the evening. Hopefully, we can catch up with them on another trip! Thanks again for having us - we wish you and the family all the best for the future. Best regards, Frank and EllenReview by Dave C.
