Hi Chris, congratulations to you and your choir! That is exciting news! Was it an original composition of yours that your choir performed? I’d love to hear the performance…Again congratulations!!
Regarding the first item, poor promotion, the venues shoot themselves in the foot by not giving a simple description of the bands’ music on their websites and social media. They only list the band names. So unless you already know the band, you have no idea what kind of music they play. Most people aren’t going to pay a cover charge to see bands they don’t know anything about, and don’t even know what kind of music they play. How hard would it be for the venues to simply say “metal,” “psych rock,” “hiphop,” “folk,” “punk”, “classic rock covers”, etc. after each band? And preferably, a little more?
I played a gig booked by AEG at the Globe 2 years ago. We brought 30 people, the other two bands brought folks, too. We got paid $26.
Bar gigs typically pay $150. Compared to AEG, that’s good money.
Pathetic.
This is what bands where paid in the 1970’s.
10% of $150 is $15. Who wants to go to the trouble of booking gigs for that? And who would want to book a gig for a band with AEG and make $2.60?
Bands deserve a cost-of-living raise. Venues need to step up and pay bands more. Cover charges are only $10 or $15. Dude, that is so 1990’s. They should charge $20 cover, minimum. For 3 bands, $20 is nothing to most people nowadays. Especially when they pay $8 for a beer.
I hope this succeeds. As a live music lover, I would like to see Live Nation/Ticketmaster crushed into dust. At minimum, they should be cut way down to allow for competitors to arise.
I would ok with this if the extra revenue went to the musical artists. Afterall, $12/month is equivilent to two beers a month. But I doubt the artists will see increased payments.

This is exquisite. Sums it all up nicely. I’ll recite this before I play his “Smile”.
The Lull band would be interesting in it. Please contact us on theullband@gmail.com
We are in Denver area north to south.
thank you! Anthony
Both Casey Boyd and I enjoyed being a part of this show. The food was great as well. A big thank you to Barb and Odde’s as well. Kevin Danzig
Question… Do you know of someone who produces original music into demos for local songwriters? Thank you!
