That's an interesting point Mr. Olhsson. While there may be a decrease in venues that pay well, there is a increase in other options. House concerts are becoming more popular even for more established artists. It's a whole different vibe than the club atmosphere. I prefer it. It's a more intimate experience between the artist and audience. There's definitly a better connection and you sell to most everybody. It also pays very well compared to a club. If you feel there is a shortage of venues, you can start your own. It's all the rage. There is a guide on how to do this on my link page.

It would probably also be an excellent way to network with new clientele. Support the music that you want to support you guys. Start your own venue.


Boody- I tried to access Sarah's site, but your link wasn't working, and google doesn't know her.
