Question 1

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Accepted Answer

Our minimum fee is $800. Typically we can perform as a duo for up to 3 hours for that price. Because every project is different, I'm happy to provide custom price quotes tiered for up to a 5-piece band. That way you can find the perfect balance for your budget and music entertainment needs.

Question 2

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Accepted Answer

Typically the customer will email me to start the conversation. We'll then schedule a quick call to go over specifics. From there, I will issue a contract and take a 50% deposit to hold the date. Any questions and follow-up calls are welcomed once the date is confirmed. The balance is due on the day of the performance.

Question 3

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

We learned by doing. Our education is real-world experience performing in thousands of shows. All this combined with private vocal, percussion, guitar, songwriting and music production lessons to keep improving our craft.

Individually we have been playing for almost 30 years, we started playing in bands back home in Spain, always combining it with other jobs, a chef in restaurants and catering among others, until we formed "Dos Bandoleros" in 2015 and we were able to make a living only doing what we love the most.

Question 5

What types of customers have you worked with?

Accepted Answer

Typically there are 3 types of clients I work with. - Wedding couples that want music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and/or reception. We perform as a duo and with up to a 5 piece band. - Corporate event planners that need music entertainment for their specific events and parties. - Private party clients. These are typically celebrations like graduations, milestone birthday parties, or just an excuse to get together with friends. Usually, we'll perform in the client's home. Sometimes the client will rent a venue for the party. We are open to whatever the client decides.

Question 6

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

Accepted Answer

We don't take bookings more than 6 months in advance. A lot of my bookings are done within 3 months to 1 week prior to an event. Our favorite recent booking was a small birthday party we performed at a private house in SF. We provided live music before and after dinner including a flamenco dancer who interacted with the crowd and taught them some simple steps and movements.

Question 7

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Accepted Answer

Since we perform private events on a weekly basis, I can offer my advice on anything from flow of events, length of performance and song selection.

Question 8

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Accepted Answer

The client should know their budget and confirm the venue where the event will take place before contacting me. we are flexible, but these details help move the booking process along faster.
