What?! You mean you can actually make money playing music!!! Wow!

But seriously, I play in an rock band playing original music and at
this point we make zero for gigs. Mainly opening gigs just to get
our music out there, We were prepared to do this for "as long as it
took" but some band members have had day job employment issues so we
might be adding popular covers and try to get more into the
party/wedding type gigs. The music business is tough, but I guess
you all know that.
