anyone got any info. on the kind of money opening acts make when they are "on tour" with a big name?
for instance, a friend of mine is related to an emcee that is defiitely in the industry!!! (wont say a name) - this em cee is not really monster-big - but definitely has a following adn is routinely on tour and releasing full fledged albums each year.
im tryin to tell my friend that this emcee may be able to put him on as an opening act on tours - if he can show prove that he is up to the challenge and the requirements involved.
im under the impression that such an opportunity will -at least - get you some money - serious money - in comparsion to what you might make as an indie. artist in a small city with no major performing circuit for indie. artists - although in comparison to the "industry" this money would be smll change -
he is not buying my argument and doesnt want to go there, for fear of 1) me bering dead wrong or 2) having his relative/the emcee feeling like he is simply trying to take advantage of their "blood' connection . . .
any ideas as to where i can find some "verifiable" information on touring money for opening acts . . . ?
