MPTF GIGS

We can pay you and your band to play free gigs through the MPTF program.
The Band Leader makes $ 165 for a one hour gig, and each Band Member receives $ 145.
MPTF funded events are typicaly co-funded 50/50 with the event host.
This means HMG will pay the participating member/band at the MPTF rate, and will then invoice the event host for 50% of that amount.
Gigs at Senior Citizen/Retirement homes, and educational gigs held at schools are funded by us at 100%.

“It pays to belong to the HMG.”
