We scored a great deal with our local American Legion to do rehearsals there. $25 a week and we get the space for as long as we want in the evenings. Works out great.
I know a local country band that a friend of mine plays in, and they started out by playing the local Eagles. Last summer they played the county fair and now they're a pretty big draw around here and are regularly getting $600 a night and have played for as much as $3,000.
So, yeah... I'd look into it if I were you.
