Corey Rusk, who runs Touch and Go in Chicago would seem to fit that definition. The general rule seems to be that the label and the band split CD/LP profits 50-50. The page at http://centerstage.net/chicago/music/whoswho/TouchandGoRecor.html has contact information, plus a glowing compliment from none other than Steve Albini about the quality of the label. (Not for the easily offended, I guess.) Touch and Go products can be found on the Web at http://www.southern.com/

Another mensch would be Ian Mckaye of the band Fugazi and the label Dischord. His policy has been for all shows to be all-ages, and ticket and cd prices to be kept low. More information is available here: http://www.southern.com/southern/band/FUGAZ/biog.html

Admittedly, this is all in the punk/indie space, but that is the subculture with which I'm most familiar.
