About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

Based in the Charlotte, NC area, My Better Half is a husband and wife musical duo that has performed throughout the Southeast for many years. This talented twosome, comprised of Ellen and Frank Adams, brings together their complementary vocal styles and instrumental skills to create a sound that’s both nostalgic and modern. With Ellen’s soulful voice and Frank’s guitar-driven melodies, their music is a perfect blend of influences from different genres and eras. From Rock and Roll, Rhythm and Blues and Beach to Party/Dance Favorites, Motown, Country and even Yacht Rock, you’re in for a fun-filled ride through some of the best music of the past 50 years! From a chance meeting at a music store that developed into a musical and personal partnership, Ellen and Frank bring warmth and humor to each performance. Drawing inspiration from their own story, their music is embodied with a sense of authenticity making their shows feel relatable and intimate. Whether they’re belting out upbeat anthems or rendering heartfelt ballads, My Better Half’s chemistry and camaraderie on stage are undeniable, leaving fans of all ages entranced and eager for more! Private Events - From upscale country clubs and hotels to a casual get-together in your backyard, My Better Half adds just the right touch to any situation. Weddings - Our song list was created with everyone’s enjoyment in mind: from grandparents right down to the nieces and nephews… so that everyone hears the songs they know and love. In addition, we offer DJ and MC service (introducing the wedding party, first dances, etc) at no additional charge. We will work with you and/or your event planner to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Rehearsal Dinners - These special occasions have become a particular favorite for us to perform at. These can range from a more structured function with a timeline to the relaxed vibe of a casual “welcome party”. No matter which approach you take, as a smaller ensemble, we offer the ultimate in flexibility to ensure it's an evening you'll never forget. Wineries/Restaurants - At these types of venues, we're there to provide the ideal soundtrack and ambiance to enhance the experience your guests have. Our role is to strike a flawless balance between creating just the right atmosphere and knowing when to be slightly “entertainment forward”. In short….this is our wheelhouse….and we enjoy our role in helping to create a superb afternoon or evening. Festivals/Parties - Street fairs, neighborhood parties, Alive After Five events……these types of shows tend to be LOTS of fun! We'll show up with a heaping helping of Rock and Roll, Soul/R&B, ‘70’s Dance, Retro ‘80’s, Motown, Yacht Rock, Reggae, Beach and Country to deliver a family-friendly, fun-filled show appropriate for all ages. In addition to all of the above, we're easy to work with, accessible and easy to communicate with and we will always do our best to deliver the best results for our clients. Please get in touch with us so we can get the ball rolling! Warmest regards, Frank and Ellen Sent: 6/26/2022 7:52:51 PM Thank you so much Frank and Ellen! You are a beautiful couple, we loved your story and your performance was wonderful! Everybody enjoyed themselves so much! My little 3 year old Addie said, "They're ROCK STARS!" Thank you again! Karri and Steven

Review by Judy H.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on September 4, 2025From Concord, NC

My Better Half was amazing! They arrived in plenty of time to set up and were accommodating when we asked for a rendition of Happy Birthday halfway through to bring out the cake. Many guests during and after the party mentioned how great they were and asked how I found them! I would definitely recommend this lovely duo and would hire them again in the future! Thank you!

My Better Half:

Thanks very much for having us Judy! We had a great time with you and your guests on your wonderful property - such a beautiful spot and perfect evening. We appreciate the kind words and hope to see you again sometime. Please take care! Frank and Ellen

Review by Leah C.

Anniversary PartyReviewed on June 13, 2025From Shelby, NC

I can not say enough good things about My Better Half. I booked them for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. Frank and Ellen started by doing their research, asking to know more about my parents, so they came in with an understanding of their audience and the occasion. They communicated clearly and promptly on logistics and which songs from our request list they could play (offering to put together a Spotify list with the others!). They sounded great. The song list was perfect. The volume level was perfect. Everyone loved them, and they made me look good just by booking them. I'm pretty sure my parents want to be BFF's with them. Highly recommend!

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 Ellen

My better half truly made our event amazing. Very easy to work with. They really read the crowd and there music matched. I will be using them again and again as well as can’t wait to see where they play locally.

Thanks for the fantastic hospitality and for making us feel so welcome. We know we will see you again down the road......and we really look forward to that.
