Carol, (and all)

What sort of gigs are you trying for? ( restaurants, private parties,  
retirement homes, clubs, events, sidewalk sales, political,  
corporate, what? ) What is the size of your group?

Are you talking $60 per musician or $60 total?

Each gig is different and it can depend a lot on what region you live  
in, but if you are making good OKOM and promoting your group the best  
you can you should be making better than that.

Did you look at the information Steve B. posted about band  
promotional packages?

Keep pushing! The good stuff is out there if you try hard enough.
