Managemental Podcast With Blasko And Mike Mowery

Blasko and Mike get into more listener questions based on the costs associated with being in a touring band. This week the question comes from new listener David Woolfall who writes: “I just discovered your podcast via an ad on the Lead Singer Syndrome podcast. I’ve listened through maybe half of the podcasts so far and they’re great! I am not in the music industry at all just an interested spectator. I have questions related to money… I would love for you to give an example of a small band income vs. expenses ie. A band that can sell 500tickets 1x or 2x a year in a place like Denver. How much does this band earn from the venue, merch, VIP, etc?Lets assume they get minimal radio play so that their music sale income is Spotify + iTunes.What does it cost them to tour, hire a few techs, gas, food, some hotels or an RV?Basically, do most band members have regular jobs at home to make ends meet?  Find out answers to these questions and more in this episode.   Email any questions or comments to askblasko@gmail.com
