I agree. It looks like Frontmen are playing bars, small halls, and third tier casinos in the small room. If Richie gets a million, they will also have to pay the other two singers a million each -- then meet overhead and traveling costs. I'm sure he makes enough to be comfortable, but it's not in the millions.
It's probably equal to what he would be getting in Lonestar playing similar venues. Lonestar can probably play the bigger room on the casino circuit.
Those casino gigs are horrible. It's a corporate nightmare. There are a lot of comp tickets, half of the audience isn't really there for the band/artist. The show is plastic and sterile with no ambiance.
It's like -- pay me my money so I can run through a 75-minute set of my "hits", load of up the bus, and get out of this wasteland.
