I can’t be the first guy to do a survey on this, but I can’t seem to find any other sources.

This turned out really interesting, with over 800 responses so far.

    How much does a solo act make when performing at a coffeehouse?
    How much do bands make at festivals?
    How does your pay compare?

You’ll find the answers revealing.

This survey is for music acts that perform primarily original music, and it compares/contrasts coffeehouses, clubs, house concerts, festivals, and colleges.

Enjoy!
