Why Musicians Charge so much for performances:
We don’t get paid vacation holidays or sick time; no bonuses for Christmas or for outstanding performances; no insurance; not eligible for unemployment; no hazard pay for dealing with drunks or stalking fans !! We sacrifice family, lovers, friends, & pets on special days to bring happiness to others. Illness & personal affairs are not allowed as an excuse for bad performance. And between equipment, hotels, airlines, gas food, roadies, promoter fees, etc – there’s nothing left $$ 2 take home. Musicians are musicians b/c they love music. Unfortunately U can’t live on Love!
Happy Musician’s Day
