We decided to focus our Texas music project on a handful of Austin music venues and their relationships with performing artists: how much on average does each venue pay performing artists? how is this pay determined? what type of payment, e.g., cash, alcohol, etc.? does payment vary by the time of the year, e.g., October during Fun Fun Fun Fest and March during SXSW? what are venues’ average attendance? what are venues’ maximum capacity?
We are also hoping to contact the owners of the following Austin music venues:
-Stubb’s
-Emo’s
-The Continental Club
-Parish
-Mohawk
-Red Eyed Fly
-Cactus Cafe
We asked Haley if she had any tips for how we can best contact the owners of those venues. Also, if she knew of any performing artists who you would say got their start or “big break” playing in one of these music venue’s because we would like to schedule an interview with them too.
Here is sketch of what our page might look like upon completion.
