Do you prefer Latin artists for live concerts?
I don’t get to see many Latin artists. Some religious music is sung in Latin and a few others have used it for historical accuracy. Otherwise, I don’t really care which language someone sings in.
I would rather suggest to give a chance to students or folks in your locality who are finding some stage to perform on.
Believe me they will give their 10000% as it's for themselves too !!!!! And not just money that matters!!!. That's where your job of finding a descent and dedicated band comes in. Spread a word and see who are ready to do anything to perform at your place. Some hard working band would get publicity. Their job done. Your hunt for a local latin band also ends + affordable rates (only if they realise that it's a golden opportunity to become famous).
Cheers!!!
How much have you got.
I know bands that will play for a bowl of chilli and a couple of beers.
On the other hand, I guess Taylor Swift might ask for a the thick end of a million dollars.

Where do I start?
I’m a huge financial nerd, and have spent an embarrassing amount of time talking to people about their money habits.
Here are the biggest mistakes people are making and how to fix them:
Not having a separate high interest savings account
Having a separate account allows you to see the results of all your hard work and keep your money separate so you're less tempted to spend it.
Plus with rates above 5.00%, the interest you can earn compared to most banks really adds up.

Overpaying on car insurance

When it comes to hiring a good band, you'll have to decide on audiences prespective and not the employer.
Uno: Musical knowledge of the band members.
You wouldn't want a bunch of hobbos in 1st week to music school students playing in your club. Any band's musical knowledge can be tested on the basis of their dedication and respect to their art. Lead singers vocal ranges, musician's playing technique

You wouldn't want a bunch of hobbos in 1st week to music school students playing in your club. Any band's musical knowledge can be tested on the basis of their dedication and respect to their art. Lead singers vocal ranges, musician's playing techniques, synch and understanding between band members are a few stuff to scribe down.
Duo: Their presentation.
Secret to success of bands and that audience would go nuts for is their presentation. Their power and ability to compel audience using something mesmerising. This could be their interaction with audience, instruments playing techniques, vocals and so on.
At the end of the day you want your customers to be happy and audience expects good music. Hence, their presentation of music should be in such a way that it satisfies the audience. Or in a musicians language, “Touch their soul”.
Tre: Look for the grace
There are a gazillion of bands out there out which I have ...
A website that allows you to search for and book local musicians, bands, and DJs. Bandsintown: A site that lists local bands, musicians, and live events in your area. Gigsalad: An online marketplace that connects you with local bands and musicians for hire.
How much do bands cost to hire?
Literally anywhere from nothing (for neighborhood kids willing to play for the practice, exposure, and chance to meet girls) to a million dollars (for a big-name pop act with full stage show).
You are going to have to be more specific.
Set your budget.
Research bands online or ask for recommendations.
Check their availability.
Discuss event details and preferences.
Get quotes and review contracts.
Book the band by signing the contract and paying any required deposits.
Coordinate logistics for the event.
Promote the event.
Enjoy the performance on the day of the event.
It depends on how good the band is and where they play regularly. It also depends on where you need them to play.
Have at least $500. Even the most desperate and needy of bands should get that much. That covers food and time and gas, and gives each member about $100 after.
That's cheap, a DJ with nothing more than an ipod and a mixing board will charge you.

Having been in a rock and roll band..
Anything less wasn't worth our time. Any band has a LOT of gear, even a classical three piece. That gear is expensive, complex, and heavy. Moving my band around for a show needed my full pick up truck bed, and another SUV crammed with crap.
How much is your extension cord...
You can place an ad that you are looking, go to a local talent agency and ask or go to a venue that the band is playing at and try to talk to them about playing for your wedding. Remember, they more than likely will have a set fee and all members of the band and crew will need to be included in your # of meals needed.
When booking bands for Scottish dance events in and around Edinburgh, I could expect to pay them…
Local gig Solo musician on off peak night 60–80 pounds, 100 if more than about 20 minutes drive to venue
Band on off peak-night 100 pounds a person for the evening
Friday/Saturday night. Add 50% and book well in advance.
That is with built up contacts, and co-ordinating set lists an appropriate degree in advance- days to weeks, depending on complexity. Without the contacts, add another 10% at least.
A good band consists of TEMPERED MUSICIAN, that is the ultimate consideration.
Ask around for recommendations. Live bands will cost more than hiring a DJ and will need to have breaks during their ‘sets’ so will probably play recorded music duro g that time. They will have a limited ‘set time’ and may not be able to play specific songs your guests may request. You will also have to provide them with food & drinks.
Normally the going rate is like 50.00 per band mate plus expenses. If it's a well known band, better established they may have a set rate, like 500.00 non refundable per gig.
