Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

* Rise is based in southern California and DOES NOT charge any performance fees for local events. (Local=within about 100 miles of Los Angeles)

*We are willing to and have traveled around the United States. Distant events must be planned well in advance and we will have to negotiate travel expenses. Click here to view our general needs for distant shows.

* Travel-We have no intention of turning this music ministry into a business venture. We can not, unfortunately, absorb all travel costs though. We originally tried to and it became too taxing on our families, finances and vacation time from work. Click here for details.

* Rise has a lot of experience and prides themselves on their positive attitudes and willingness to bend over backwards for promoters. There are enough "rock star" attitudes in the arena already, so you won't get that from us.

* We also understand that most Church concert promoters are doing it for the first time and do not have a lot of experience. That is O.K.! We have plenty of contacts that we can refer you to for direction and advice.

* So what are you waiting for! Send us an email and let us know what you are trying to plan.

Other than the above expenses, Rise does not charge a stipend/performance fee. We do request the ability to sell CD’s/Shirts at the event. A local volunteer to man the CD sales table for us is always appreciated.

Since traveling takes time away from our families, we try to minimize this by preferably arriving on Friday, performing Saturday and returning home on Sunday. We understand that all events can not be on Saturday, as with everything in life, these things are negotiable.
