I've got three musical interests going. Four if you want to count my home studio business.
As for gigs....
The Waybacks (6 piece Showband) 50's thru 80's revue, with multiple costume changes, lots of comedy and shtick. Base fee $2500 Can. We probably do on an average...8 shows a year.
Consenting Adults (5 piece) typical pub and lounge fare, much more open to inpromptu music. Base fee $800. Gigging approx. 4 times(weekends)/month.Sometimes we have mid-week gigs also, generally these are from 8-11:30pm
Solo gigs: just myself on kb & guitar Base fee:$150.Depending on my "ConsentingAdults" schedule, once...maybe twice a month.
Weddings are a whole different trip in that more often that not, you've got to put together a list of special requests, and as already mentioned by Chony, weddings are an all day thing, so for me, the fee depends on the circumstances, travel, special requests by the wedding party, etc.
Studio: Base fee $25/hr. Varies with type of job required. Quite often I'll throw together a package deal, depending on what the client wants.Most of the people who come to me are solo artists, so I'm often called upon to build and sing a background vocal array.
These prices are all Canadian so, any there's no real comparison to my U.S. counterparts.
That pretty well covers it. .....Next?
