The following points are answers to many booking questions.
Our fee is based on the market rate for a specific venue or function. The total cost depends on several factors including the size or importance of the event, the location, sound system, lighting, the number of hours, and any special requests or accommodations.
For pricing, please contact the band for further information. We generally perform a site visit to determine a price quote.
We prefer you contract the sound system using one of our preferred sound engineers. If you provide the sound system, we require at least the minimum sound system specifications listed on our sound system contract rider. We require that your sound technician contact us at least three weeks prior to the performance.
Unless your event is private, we ask that we can advertise your event in order to notify our fans.
Please have a designated contact person at the event in case of difficulty. Any special instructions for parking, moving of equipment or other necessary functions are appreciated.
Typically, the performance area (stage) must be available for setup and sound check at least 2 hours in advance of the scheduled performance time. For a big production show, if Mystic Fire provides the sound and/or lighting, the stage area and electrical service must be available at least 5 hours in advance of the scheduled performance time. At least 60 minutes is required to break down and clear the stage area, 2 or more hours if the band provides the sound and/or lighting.
Electrical requirements: It is the responsibility of the Purchaser to provide adequate electrical power. Unless the stage area is specifically wired for a professional sound system, we require a direct tap to the main electrical breaker box. If a direct tap is not possible, then 3 separate 20 amp circuits (dedicated for the band's use only) must be available to to the band within 30 feet of the stage area. For outdoor events, a large generator capable of handling the electrical load must be available to the band and the production contractors within 50 feet of the stage area.
If the Purchaser provides the sound system and engineer, Mystic Fire reserves the right to supervise the sound level and mix by a designated sound technician of the band's choosing.
If the event is outdoors, the stage must be sufficiently covered to provided protection from rain and small hail (an average thunderstorm). Failure to provide adequate protection from normal expected weather conditions will be cause for Mystic Fire to cancel it's performance without penalty if threatening weather conditions are present within two hours of the band's scheduled performance.
In the event that one or more band members are unable to perform at the event, Mystic Fire will make a reasonable effort to provide competent substitute musicians to fill in for the missing band member. Due to the technical nature of the musical material and the difficulty of finding competent substitutes on short notice, Mystic Fire will not be held liable for a missing musician at the performance. Mystic Fire reserves the right to cancel the performance based on the ability of the band to perform to expected professional levels based on the musicians available for the performance.
