Ernie Bucio's Little Big Band

Rates

The Ernie Bucio family of groups have different rates for hire.  There are a few variables that go into the cost of booking a group.

1) First there is the date; you can expect a gig in or around a major holiday or special observance to cost a little more as the musicians will be away from their families to entertain yours.  :-)   Examples of these dates are New Years, Valentines Day, Easter, Memorial Day Weekend, 4th of July, Thanksgiving weekend & the days in or around Christmas.

2) Another factor is the season.  The nicer the weather the higher the demand for Ernie's groups.  During the summer more people will want to entertain which means Ernie's groups are busiest during the late spring/summer.  So if you have an event during this part of the year make sure to book your group early!

3) Lastly is the location.  What is the old adage?  Location, location, location?  Ernie's base of operations is in and around the Modesto/Stockton central valley area.  Gigs outside the "local area" will take into account travel time, fuel, equipment and sometimes personnel.  These factors are considerations for gigs in Fresno, Sacramento & the San Francisco Bay Area.

Regardless of your situation Ernie is very flexible with his pricing and 99% of the time something can be "worked out."  The Ernie Bucio family of groups are professionals and pricing does not effect the quality of the group.  It is always quality over quantity.
