Simple math, the cost of booking a performer is the same regardless of venue size. When a venue only sits about 1,000 people, ticket prices will be high for the bigger name performers. Cover bands are much cheaper to book. At our age, the amount of bands we grew up enjoying are rapidly shrinking, so see em while you can. We really enjoyed seeing George Thorogood at the Sharon about 3 years ago, hope they can get more performers like that.
