Singers and Non-Singer "Groupies"
Welcome!
​
Groupies
Friends and family of singers, our cherished groupies, are most welcome.
Groupies participate in the same hotel accommodations, tours, and meals as singers, and have free admission to both our concerts.
Cost for groupies is the same as cost for singers.​​

$3,950 per singer​​

3rd deposit $800 by March 8*, 2026

*Deposit dates are all earlier than the deposit dates listed on the MidAm brochure,

​
Deposits Non-Refundable but Transferable
Should a singer withdraw from the residency,
a substitute singer can take their place.
Deposits are transferable to newly-onboarding participants:
A withdrawing non-singer's deposit can be applied to a newly-onboarding singer or non-singer.
The withdrawing singer is welcome to find a substitute and to make financial arrangements that suit both parties.
