Members mstreck Posted October 16, 2013 Members Share Posted October 16, 2013 We got asked to do one. I am about as apolitical as you can get, so I'm pretty clueless about how they work.We've never done any type of private event other than the very casual type. What's a reasonable way to figure price compared to what we'd normally earn at a live-music venue?Thanks! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tlbonehead Posted October 16, 2013 Members Share Posted October 16, 2013 I've done several. They were freebies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WynnD Posted October 16, 2013 Members Share Posted October 16, 2013 I've done quite a few as general PA supplier. (Had many Denver polititions on my system and one early Presidential candidate.) As a musician, none, but if we did one, it might be cheap, but it wouldn't be free. (Might donate my own time, but I will never donate a bandmate's time. We might not even politically be on the same page.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point - our "singer" in that project is a liberal but her desire to gig (remember this is just a basement jam band) overcame her distaste of supporting the Republicans LOL. OTOH a country project I just put together Monday has a newspaper reporter as the singer/rhythm player so we can't do anything like that . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
