FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My minimum fee is $500 for gigs in San Diego, and $750 for gigs in LA. Typically I can perform solo for up to 3 hours for that price. Because every project is different, I'm happy to provide custom price quotes tiered for either solo-acoustic performance, or up to a 5-piece band. That way you can find the perfect balance for your budget and music entertainment needs.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically the customers will email me to start the conversation. We'll then schedule a quick call to go over specifics.
From there, I will issue a contract and take a 50% deposit to hold the date. Any questions and follow up calls are welcomed once the date is confirmed.
The balance is due the day of the performance.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a "street MBA" as I call it. In other words, I learned by doing. My education is real-world experience performing over 500 shows in 15 years.
