The cover band
Rubber Band.
Rubber Band is the five-piece cover band I play bass in at UNC. Country, rock, alt, whatever gets the room moving. Sorority houses, frat houses, Chapel Hill bars, sometimes NC State or ECU. About $3K a semester. Learned the whole 45-song set in eight weeks.
Per gig$1k to $1.8k
Per member$200 to $360
