Here at The California Boys, we deeply value our talented artists who dedicate themselves to this work full-time. We understand the passion they bring to their art, and we recognize that this is not just a job for them; it’s a meaningful career. We are committed to ensuring fair wages and a sustainable creative path for each of our artists. While we genuinely appreciate the requests to provide our services for free, we must prioritize paid gigs to maintain this as a real career. We hope you understand by choosing to support our artists and our small business by hiring us for your next event. However, if that is just not in the budget, please see our options below.

Volunteering and Fundraisers

Finding A Sponsor

If possible, the cleanest and easiest way to hire us without an internal budget is to find a sponsor. This would mean that you find an interested party willing to pay for our rates in full for your event. Click here to get a quote.

Selling Tickets

Another option is to pay our fees for the whole event, and then sell tickets to individuals for the service during your gig to get that money back. If you sell more than what we charge, you make a profit! Just a heads up though, if you sell less, we do not discount our rates because of low sales. Contact us here.

Bartering

If you have some sort of goods or services to offer, we do accept bartering for goods and services of equal value to our full rate for your event. We do not accept “exposure” or advertising opportunities. Contact us here.

We truly appreciate the enthusiasm and excitement for our work! On average, we receive about 10 inquiries for volunteer opportunities every month. However, our primary focus is on paid events, which ensures we can continue doing what we love.
