Hey i have a question, hopefully some answers come about. We have a tribute band, no one wanted to sign the contract with our booking agent. so I, being the leader of the band/ lead singer, signed. made this band a business with me the "ceo". They are now technically hired musicians. what is the best way to pay them? AFTER the booking agent is paid? ( expenses, deductions, commission?) gross? net? any comments, opinions welcome..
