Home Concert Presenter Makes Millions While Musicians Play For Pennies

MUSIC Posted: May 24, 2019 10:31 am

Sofar Sounds  puts on concerts in people’s living rooms where fans pay $15 to $30 to sit silently on the floor and truly listen. Nearly 1 million guests have attended Sofar’s more than 20,000 gigs. In some cases, Sofar pays just $100 per band for a 25 minute set, which can work out to just $8 per musician per hour or less. Hosts get nothing, and Sofar keeps the rest, which can range from $1,100 to $1,600 or more per gig. – TechCrunch
