Hi Marjorie, I wouldn't consider that crass in the slightest. From an audience members point of view, if I've enjoyed hearing a singer in this particular concert, I'm likely to be interested in knowing where I can hear him/her again. In addition, I'm likely to be interested simply in finding out about other quality concerts that I might want to attend.
As a singer, I like to put things like this in a program in the hopes that people will enjoy my singing this evening enough to be interested in coming to hear me sing elsewhere as well. Also, for those that may just be starting out with their careers, this is a good way to fill a little space when they may not have a ton of previous experience to put in a bio.
Just my $0.02 worth.
