Nate,

There are so many places to play: Private parties or receptions (both formal and casual), coffee houses, even Nordstrom. Be brave, talk to the store managers and ask them what they need from you - perhaps a demo CD, just a 20second "sound byte" from each of 5 or 6 selections would probably do the trick. A nice photograph of yourself plus your CD makes a great marketing tool. Maybe add a mini-resume of places you've played - like the list of accomplishments in this posting (above). Otherwise, just spread the word to friends, family, teachers, etc. As for what to charge, many places already have a set price they'll pay for soloists so that takes the guesswork out of the equation. Best of luck to you,
Andrew
