to discuss concert bookings or in the event
that you need to order CDs by mail.
If you'd like to book me for concerts or
other events, here is a good breakdown of what it
Here's an Overview of Everything
You Need to Know...
Here
are my basic fees:
My fees do vary depending on the
event and the location, and can vary anywhere from $500 to $1000.
Generally speaking, the costs to have me come and play for you will
be my fee + travel expenses. If you don't think you can afford
paying my travel expenses, keep on reading, because you may not have
to pay much at all depending on what else I can book near you. Here
are some example fees...
Formal Concerts
(see below for church or ministry-related events)
$300-500 +
travel expenses. There's a lot of play here because there are so
many variables, including location, audience size, whether tickets
are being sold and your expectations for the concert. Please feel
free to email me with your needs and we can discuss
the details.
Weddings
The amount varies
depending upon what is required. For example, if you just need
background music for a dinner reception, that will be toward the low
end. If you need music during the wedding service itself, which
requires much more planning and coordination, it will be require a
little more attention. Contact me for
details.
Background Music
$300 + travel
expenses. This includes two hours of music. For each additional
hour, add $50.
House Concerts
$10
suggested donation per person. Be sure to read the info below on
house concerts as these are handled a bit differently than normal
concerts.
Charities, Benefits, Fund
Raisers
This varies greatly depending on the event. What
I often suggest is one of two options.
Option
1 (preferred): Find a sponsor to cover my fee ($300-500).
Then all ticket sales and proceeds go toward the charity or benefit.
If you sell tickets for $20, and sell 200 seats, that's $4000 to go
toward the charity. All I ask, aside from my fee, is that I can sell
CDs at the event.
Option 2: This is intended
for smaller organizations who cannot afford my fee or find a sponsor
to pay it. What we'll do is simply split the ticket sales. 50% goes
to me, 50% to the charity. This is a no-lose situation for you, as
the organation doesn't pay me anything up front. However, you may
pay more after the fact.
Questions? email me
House Concerts: House concerts are a
wonderful thing! They are incredibly intimate and will provide your
guests with an unforgettable memory! If you wish to have me come and
play a concert in your home, there are a couple of
requirements:
a) I ask that if you can, please
provide a piano in good condition, tuned up just prior (within a
week) to the concert. The piano doesn't have to be a grand piano,
just a piano that plays well, with working keys and pedals. Even a
small upright is fine.
b) I would ask that you be willing to
help promote the show to your friends, family, and acquaintances,
and that you commit to doing your best to bring at least 20-30
people into your home.
c) I request a $10/person donation
from attendies to help support my art and my family with a minimum
commitment of $300. So for example, if donations from attendees come
to $200, I would ask you to please cover the extra $100. Also,
please read the info above about travel
expenses.
Other Items of Note...
Availability: Check out my
concert calendar for most recent availability. I do a variety of
events and things do pop up from time to time, so the section stays
fairly accurate.
