And not to stereotype but people that like music of the metal genre are likely to spend plenty at the bar.
I don’t think you could sign any of those acts to perform at TV....however I could see a Kevin Cronin (REO Speedwagon) or Michael McDonald (Doobie Brothers) doing so. I’ve seen both in some really small venues. I know the surviving members of Orleans play small charitable concerts, fairs etc as well.
