A 4-hour gig is really more like 6 hours; with setup and takedown, waiting to get paid, travel, schmoozing, etc. BUT everyone discusses jobs as time worked, so... Here in the southern burbs of Detroit my duo sets a minimun of $300 for a gig. If we play on the east side (la de da) we can ask $500, but sometimes we will do a "favor" or a "foot in the door" for $250. Bars and lounges pay much less, around here it's $75-125 per person. As a solo, I won't leave the house for less that $150. Hope this helps.
