I'm a singer-songwriter based in Lawrence, KS. I tour as a solo act, and sound like Sting or Duncan Sheik with a bit more sense of humor. http://fransnyder.com I'm also the founder of concertsinyourhome.com, a website dedicated to creating a circuit of homes and non-traditional venues where talented artists can be rewarded for their music, and not for how much beer they sell. http://concertsinyourhome.com http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/drivinman Mon, 08 Sep 2008 11:46:54 -0600 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.squidoo.com/whatartistsgetpaid Wouldn't it be great to know how much original music artists get paid? Artists, wouldn't you like to know how different venues stack up against each other for artist pay? Wouldn't you also like to know how your act ranks in pay? Coffeehouses, bars, house concerts, colleges, festivals... how different are they? These questions are in 3 sections: 1. solo acts 2. duos (per person pay) 3. trios and groups (per person pay) If you play original music, professionally, please scroll down to your section and select the pay that most often reflects what you receive, in each type of venue you've had the opportunity to play. Check back for results! That's Bob Sima in the picture. music Sun, 13 Apr 2008 02:33:54 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/houseconcertfastfacts How do house concert hosts find acts? How many will do shows on weeknights? Who offers guarantees? This survey should help us get a good picture of the most common (and least common) practices of house concert hosts. It's also a great way to see what issues are most important to this community, and how much variety they all have in their approach. House concerts are one of the most important trends in live music, and a great way for artists to reach out to new and existing fans. If you host house concerts, please take a few moments to answer the questions below. I think you'll enjoy seeing how your house concerts compare to the others. That's Lois and Greg's House Concert in the picture. Remember to hit "Vote" after each selection, and you'll see the result! Ignore any questions that don't apply to you... music Mon, 30 Jun 2008 02:45:02 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/house_concerts News, thoughts, and links relating to the artists and presenters of house concerts. music Wed, 09 Apr 2008 01:49:59 -0600
