I know it is not fair to ask what each of you charge for gigs, especially since we are so geographically diverse and our services are so different (one-man band, singing, accordion, PA systems, etc.) so perhaps I can best ask what you think would be reasonable to charge for my situation:

One-man band accordionist with arranger. No singing, concentrating on standards and ethnic Italian songs in California. I used to play an old Excelsior accordion for years at functions in my community for around $100-$150US but that was over 15 years ago. I'm just now getting back into it as an adult and have no idea what to charge. I imagine I will be playing weddings, anniversaries, and private parties.

Thank you.

The Accordionist
