Not every gig goes the way you want it to. Technical issues, a rough mix, or even just playing for a crowd that couldn’t care less can be frustrating. In this video, I talk about what it’s like to keep a good attitude when things fall apart on stage, and why sometimes you have to force a smile and keep pushing through.
I also get into the difference between “filler gigs” where you’re basically background music, and shows where people are actually there to see you play. Filler gigs can sometimes feel demoralizing, or artistically unfulfilling but usually pays decently. Shows, on the other hand, can be incredibly rewarding even if the paycheck is smaller.
