Rates Rates for performance are largely dependant on
the following factors:
Solo or group? - (11/07 - presently there is no full-time group available, so solo is the only option).
Length of performance - Usually calculated
in hours or 45 minute sets.
Travel Gigs outside of a
1 hr radius of Bloomsburg, PA (USA) will incur extra charges (including lodging). In other words, within 1 hr distance there is no extra charge. Important: Out-of-state shows must provide sound system and engineer.
Sound system/engineer
I have my own system for local shows within Central PA. Allow minimum 1 hr setup time (also billable). PA rental
is typically $50 per weekend, plus transportation costs if you go somewhere else (depending on size of system). Completely acoustic
performances for very small intimate venues can forgo this charge. Important: Out-of-state shows must provide sound system and engineer. Most outdoor gigs require a sound system (not to be confused with
a Public Address system which usually isn't appropriate for music.)
Type of event
Outdoor, indoor, charity, commercial... these are all things that can impact what you pay.
That said, I can only say that my base solo per hour rate
is $50. That is the starting rate to cover administrative
and labor costs. From there, the price varies depending on your
answers to the above. It would be best to contact
me directly for a price quote.
