Description

In this episode, Jared shares what goes into delivering a high-end solo performance—and why most musicians are drastically undercharging for their time, gear, and expertise. From setting up three PA systems to handling last-minute corporate inquiries and playing multiple locations in one wedding, he breaks down the true value of what musicians provide. You’ll learn the difference between low-end and high-end gigs, why pricing is often arbitrary, and how charging what you're worth leads to better client experiences (and better performances). If you’re tired of bar gigs and ready to elevate your career, this episode is for you.
