Gary, those are low rates...We are getting better rates here...mostly South Jersey..has the largest work venues..

Our Band gets $600- $1,200 for a 4 hour gig...depending if it is a multi night (steady) or a one nighter..We are a trio..

Solo acts get $250- $400 a night..

The bad thing for me..travel 3 or 4 hours on the road...

Senior venues, I have been getting $125-$150 for an hour with an average driving time of 1 hour total (both ways)..

House piano gigs have been averaging a solo pianist $350 for 3 hours..on customer's piano..
