Exciting news for New Orleans musicians! City council has passed an ordinance to establish the first uniform minimum wage for performers at city-run events and festivals. Musicians will now earn at least $200 per hour, with larger acts receiving a flat rate of $2,000 per performance. This move aims to ensure fair pay, boost the local economy, and enhance the quality of life for our talented artists. The ordinance is set to take effect in January 2025. #METRONOME #MakingMusicMakeMoney #SupportLocalArtists ⚜️💸
