In Dayton and surroundings weekends range from $125-$175 per night for a solo. This is in your animal clubs. Restaruants I find pay much lower and aren't nearly as enjoyable for me. I enjoy catering to dancers my regulars who follow me around like to be able to dance.

Weeknights, you're real lucky if you can get $100. Usually closer to $50-$75 + tips and maybe a meal. Which is why for the most part, I don't even really bother with them. There is so little happening in the Dayton area during the week that it makes more sense to me to play the nursing homes for $85-$120 a pop and be home for dinner, lol...

Private parties depending on length can range from $150 for a short one up to $400 or so for longer events.

Weddings also deviate depending on how large they are. Smaller receptions can go as low as $250 for an afternoon gig all the way up to $500 for an evening.

There are shows that fall outside these ranges, but that's what I find to be most typical in this area.
