Booking Info

For most average shows, I get $300. During the holidays (Oct 15-31, Thanksgiving through New Years) it's $500. New Year's Eve runs $600. Book holiday dates and summer weekends early, they tend to fill up fast.

That includes me arriving at least an hour before start time, setting up everything, starting on time (always!), and playing four sets. A set is 45 minutes of playing and a 15 minute break. If you have me start at 6:00 PM, for instance, I would finish playing about 9:45 and be packed up and out of your hair before 11:00 PM

I have been known to donate my time to a good cause. That's one where a significant amount of money is being raised for a worthy charity. I don't usually play for the sake of "exposure"; people die from exposure. Longer, more involved gigs may be bid at higher rates. This might include things like weddings or corporate parties that require a lot of planning and coordination, shows longer than four sets, travel more than a couple hours away, or *(especially!) shows involving other musicians, singers, or folks that expect to use my equipment. (I'm a solo act for a reason, you know.)

I will travel anywhere from Ogden to Provo, Park City to Tooele/Grantsville for the basic fee. Jobs outside that radius may be bid at a higher rate.

Call for a bid, I'm sure we can work out something within your budget! When you are ready to book a date, you can pay the deposit or the entire fee using the handy button in section below.

Contact Info

If you prefer the phone, call Griz at 801-386-7726 or click the button below and the internet will call me for you free for nothin'. How's that for handy? If I don't answer, leave a message, I'll get right back to you.

I'm finding that some web filters block access to this call me button, so if it doesn't appear for you, please stick your finger in the dial or email me with the form above.

Terms

If you cancel after paying your deposit and I manage to book something into that date, I will refund your money. If you are unhappy with my performance for a good reason I will gladly negotiate a reduced rate or even return your money. When I say good reason, what I mean is that you should know what you're buying ahead of time. You will have heard my demo recordings so you will know exactly what I sound like. If you are concerned about the list of songs I'm going to play, I can make that available to you ahead of time to make sure it's acceptable to you. Beyond that, if you have additional expectations, please voice them ahead of time. That way we both know what to expect.

Above all, I am honest to a fault in business. If something goes wrong, I will do my best to make it right. If the something that goes wrong is my fault, you won't have to ask for your money back.

Reserve a Date

If you don't have a PayPal account you can still use this button.
Fill out the info and amount and click on the "Pay Now" button. You will get a PayPal screen. In the lower left of this screen there's a picture of the different credit cards you can use, and the text "Don't have a PayPal account?". Click the little tiny "continue" link and you will go to a screen where you can enter your credit card info.

Before you send a deposit, it's important that you contact me to ensure that the date is available. My online calendar often doesn't show travel dates or private shows and the payment button does not check availability, it only transfers payments. Please also read my booking terms below carefully and any other information I may have sent you via email.

Logistics

I will need at least one standard grounded (three prong) electrical outlet within 25 feet of where you want me to set up. It's best if the location is situated so extension cords do not have to cross walkways and high traffic areas. A standard home electrical outlet is 15 amps, and that's plenty as long as nothing else is plugged into it. If you have a pool, I should be as far from it as makes sense. Not only does most of my equipment fear water like the Wicked Witch of the West, I also use large amounts of electricity, which does not go well with pool playing and splashing.

Tipping

If you are feeling good about the job I did for you, a fine tip for me would be a brief email afterward with a with a nice quote about how you enjoyed my show and permission to use it on my web site as a recommendation for future customers.
