rate of pay around the country.

It's hard to put just one price on a gig, I can't charge the same nightly rate for a bar that can seat 75 people as I do for a bar that seats 400, priviate parties, or company parties, now that is a different story, I don't care how large or small it is the rate is 150 per hour of play time, I don't charge for set up or tear down on top of that rate, but three hour is min.

We do four bars five nites a week 175 to 225 per nite, and I work on four month contracks, and four hour bar gigs show starts at 9:00 and ends at 1:00.
