James Hunter needs a gig between between Milwaukee and Cleveland and he's sort of willing to play your house/backyard/birthday party/bar mitzvah provided you cough up 10 grand to hear him sing for 75 minutes.His services are up for auction on eBay but there area few caveats such as the booking agent's approval of the venue and an upfront, in-full cash payment.
I caught James' show in July when he headlined the Troubadour and as enjoyable as it was, I'm not sure this man can truly command the starting bid price. Admission for that L.A. gig was $15 which would have meant a $5,925 gross. And it's 15 bucks to get in the door of Cleveland's Beachland Ballroom on Nov. 29. That hall has a capacity of 500, meaning a sell-out would gross $7,500, assuming no guest list or contest winners, well short of the $10,000 asking price.
Naturally, private gigs pay better than public ones, but is it possible he's asking double his rate to play the 216? Find out Sunday morning at 10 whether he gets an extra day wandering through the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or if he has discovered an effective way to fill mepty dates on the calendar.
