Piano Lounge Player?

[MrRebel]

Hi, this is my first post here

Ok i was actually just wondering.... Does anyone happen to know How much a piano lounge player makes (In pay and a rough example for tips..... Say if he was playing at a very nice hotel lounge)  


Im not sure if this is the correct section, but since Piano Lounge playing, is technically preforming... i posted here.

Thanks for your time

Varies by area, day of the week,  and type of "lounge." If you are playing strictly background,  no vocals, no interaction with the audience, I wouldn't expect or ask for more than $60-$85 per night. And if you aren't taking requests, playing popular things, special event type things (i.e., favorite song for anniversaries, happy birthday, ) expect little in the way of tips.
Now, if you can do all these things and really please the audience--no longer background--tips can run $25 --$50 per night.

In the UK you can make 200 to 300 hudred pounds a night if you are good that is about 450 to 500 dollars roughly
