| Typically Michael and Geoffrey charge $300 per performance and prefer not to charge at the door so as to provide more incentive for paying customers to show up. If the venue would prefer a longer set (3 to 4 hours) the duo charges $500. If the venue agrees to help promote the event or provide food, the price can be lowered. A $100 dollar minimum is needed to cover the cost of gas, equipment, and labor. All equipment will be provided should the venue lack an amplification system.
