Booking
The prices listed here are tentative and subject to change.
Ben is based in central MN. Extra charges may be added for travel costs. If you can offer safe, free lodging, travel costs will be significantly reduced, and the extra charges will be smaller.
A performance consists of up to four sets of 50 min of music and a 10 min break. If you want something special (all blues, all country, the band dresses in goat skins etc...) please tell us in advance so that we can make it happen. We have the gear to play at most venues. For outdoor events it may be necessary to rent some extra PA equipment.
A reasonable stage area is necessary for any performance. It is the responsibility of the venue to provide a safe performance space.
Performance costs:
- One performance: $400
- Two consecutive performances: $775
- Three consecutive performances: $1350
- Alternative arrangements, such as a percentage of the door, are possible.
Equipment rental, special costs:
- Discuss the situation with us and we will try to find the cheapest effective solution. Most indoor events will not require us to rent gear.
Travel costs:
- Mileage. This will depend on distance and the price of gas.
- Price of lodging in cheapest local motel, if needed
