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.

Hardy’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. Hardy’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. Hardy 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. Hardy 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.

If you like HARDY, there are several artists who share his mix of country storytelling, southern grit, and rock energy. Here are some you might enjoy:

Koe Wetzel — He’s one of the closest stylistic matches to HARDY. His music blends Texas country with rock and a bit of grunge, full of attitude and rawness.

Morgan Wallen — A close collaborator of HARDY’s, Morgan’s sound balances country roots with pop and rock elements, appealing to fans who like catchy hooks and emotional lyrics.

Bailey Zimmerman — Another rising star who leans into the country-rock hybrid. His raspy vocals and big choruses make him feel like a younger extension of HARDY’s style.

Chris Stapleton — While more blues-oriented, Stapleton’s powerful vocals and authentic songwriting resonate with HARDY fans who appreciate emotional depth and musical grit.

Zach Bryan — His sound is more stripped down and folk-leaning, but the raw emotion and authenticity he brings to his songs hit in a similar way to HARDY’s more introspective work.

Tyler Childers — He delivers thoughtful songwriting and an Appalachian twang that connect well with listeners who love HARDY’s honest, storytelling side.
