Just wondering what the going rate is for a full band to play a bar? I got into a pretty heated discussion earlier today with our singer about going rates for a bar. We were asked to play in our local bar in a few weeks and they asked what we would like to charge. I've never played a bar gig with this band, but in the past with other bands we've always charged between $5-800 depending on the night, and how long we play. I've always been told this is actually on the high side of things so i've never complained. Our singer seems to think we should be charging far more than that.
So whats the going rate where your at? Am i wrong to think that $5-600 is pretty fair for a starting out cover band to play in a small town bar for a few hours?
