Although less frequently requested, the following might be considered also.

• A non-performance personal appearance.

An example would be to hire a celebrity to attend a private or corporate party as simply a (non-performing) guest to mingle with other guests, or to hire the celebrity to do a meet-and-greet at your party.

• A virtual performance.

A virtual performance is a live or recorded show—such as a concert, play, dance, comedy act, or other artistic presentation—that is broadcast or streamed online instead of being performed in front of a physical audience. Artists perform live from a studio, venue, or even their homes and stream the show on platforms like YouTube, Twitch, or Instagram Live. Essentially, a virtual performance brings entertainment to audiences through the internet rather than in-person venues.

GOOSE’s manager determines the artist’s concert fee (also known as a guarantee) by evaluating a combination of business, market, and logistical factors.

Here’s a breakdown of key elements considered:

1. GOOSE’s Popularity and Demand

• Ticket Sales History: How many tickets they’ve sold recently in the same market or similar ones.

• Streaming & Radio Metrics: Spotify/Apple Music numbers, YouTube views, Shazam stats, radio spins.

• Social Media Following & Engagement: Followers, reach, and how active and loyal the fan base is.

2. Market Strength

• City or Region: Artists can command higher fees in cities where they are more popular.

• Venue Size: Bigger venues mean more ticket sales and higher potential revenue.

• Local Competition: Is the artist competing with other events nearby on the same date?

3. GOOSE Touring Expenses

• Band & Crew Payroll: Salaries, per diems, union rates.

• Production Costs: Lights, sound, transportation, backline, hotel, security, etc.

• Travel: Flights, buses, fuel, lodging. Fees are often higher for more distant or logistically complex locations.

4. Type of Event

• Hard Ticket Show: The artist is the main draw; ticket sales drive revenue. The fee is based on expected gross revenue minus expenses.

• Festival or Fair: Often pay higher flat fees as the event assumes ticket risk.

• Corporate or Private Event: Typically, higher pricing due to exclusivity and often minimal promotional benefit.

5. Promoter Offer and Negotiation

• The manager evaluates received offers and may negotiate elements to modify the fee or reduce expenses.

• Promoters/Private Buyers typically present a formal offer sheet that includes:

• Guarantee (flat fee): Minimum the artist gets paid.

• Backend or Bonus: Extra earnings based on ticket sales after breakeven. (Typically, this is not applicable to private/corporate events.)

• Expenses: Travel, accommodations, hospitality, etc.

6. Comparing Fees

• Managers often compare fees of similar-level artists to stay competitive in pricing.

7. GOOSE Routing Considerations

• If the date fits smoothly into a larger tour routing, they might accept a lower fee.

• If it’s a one-off or out-of-the-way show, the fee might be higher to justify the extra time and effort.

• Phish – Known for extended improvisation, adventurous live performances, and a devoted fan community that follows multiple shows.
• The String Cheese Incident – Blends rock, electronic, bluegrass, and improvisational elements in a way that appeals to Goose fans.
• Umphrey’s McGee – Features complex musicianship, dynamic jams, and a mix of progressive rock and improvisation.
• Twiddle – Combines melodic songwriting with exploratory live jams and a modern jam-band approach.
• Pigeons Playing Ping Pong – Delivers high-energy concerts, groove-oriented jams, and crowd-friendly performances.
• moe. – Offers a balance of strong songwriting and extended improvisation that resonates with jam-band audiences.
• The Disco Biscuits – Merges electronic music influences with improvisational rock, similar to Goose’s more dance-oriented moments.
• Widespread Panic – Delivers powerful live shows built around improvisation, Southern rock influences, and a passionate fan base.
• Tedeschi Trucks Band – Appeals to Goose fans who enjoy soulful musicianship, extended instrumental passages, and exceptional live performances.
