FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
While each opportunity is different, we set a 2 hour-minimum for shows. Since each show needs time to set up on-the-spot (drums, keyboards, amplifiers, PA/mixers, microphones, etc.), we would like for the experience to be worth the musicians' and clients' travel and work time, and have found that the 2 hour minimum works best. We tend to work within the $150/hour price range, usually producing a 2 or 3 hour show, with a 5 hour maximum. However, we will work with you to negotiate the rate that works best with your budget and event type. For example, if you need a band to perform intermittently at a day-long conference, we would negotiate customized pricing that fits both the event schedule and also fairly compensates the musicians for blocking out the entire day.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first thing we do is meet with you directly to listen and understand why you are searching for quality live music, including event mood, audience, style, etc. A booking for background cocktail music is a different animal from needing a band who keeps dancers on the floor all night.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Several of our musicians hold Bachelor and even Master of Arts degrees in Music Performance and Music Education. We have decades of experience in performing jazz, blues, pop, and other genres, and some of our artists are actually seasoned professionals in other areas such as technology, management, science, and law!
