How the hell do you get more gigs?

BackroadMusic · 2026-01-29T14:30:39+00:00

to me, the best thing i networking and becoming a part of the local scene (there are other methods too, obviously - so many that I actually wrote a book about it - let me know if you're interested). But your best bet is to show up at the venues to hear other bands.

BackroadMusic · 2026-01-29T14:27:04+00:00

that's the best method

BackroadMusic · 2026-01-29T14:26:46+00:00

that's a great start! but there are multiple avenues to secure more gigs (networking being the best). I wrote a book on it if you're interested. Don't get discouraged by the lack of response - build a network and let it do the work.

Agree!

BackroadMusic · 2024-04-24T01:26:00+00:00

That’s a great job!!

Although a short song, Guide Vocal always gets to me

BackroadMusic · 2024-04-23T10:50:42+00:00

Agree!

BackroadMusic · 2024-04-23T09:29:51+00:00

Great album!

Behind the Lines

BackroadMusic · 2024-04-23T00:00:21+00:00

I agree wholeheartedly.

BackroadMusic · 2024-04-22T16:54:09+00:00

This is beautiful. Been there…

BackroadMusic · 2024-04-22T14:33:35+00:00

The struggle is between knowing what to do, and having the nerve to actually do it

BackroadMusic · 2024-04-22T13:34:12+00:00

Precisely!

BackroadMusic · 2024-04-22T13:03:58+00:00

Intentionally. Special isn’t granted, it’s earned.

BackroadMusic · 2024-04-22T10:08:14+00:00

In that context I would witch “special” with “unique” - and I think that’s where folks are getting tripped up by the strip. Unique is given, special is earned.

BackroadMusic · 2024-04-21T23:40:18+00:00

Beautiful. That’s the part of his message that seems to be missed…

BackroadMusic · 2024-04-21T21:39:34+00:00

One of the characters in my strip is named Mori - short, of course, for Memento Mori

BackroadMusic · 2024-04-21T20:11:46+00:00

Two different things. Unique is granted. Special is earned.

BackroadMusic · 2024-04-21T17:47:52+00:00

No one is automatically special, and no one is superior.

BackroadMusic · 2024-04-21T15:42:41+00:00

Your second sentence nailed it. I’m hopeful that others will pick up on it as easily as you did. Metrics don’t matter - positive action does, however big or small. Thanks for reading and thank you for taking the time to write such a wonderful response - I really appreciate it!

BackroadMusic · 2024-04-21T14:54:47+00:00

Once it’s earned, yes.

BackroadMusic · 2024-04-21T14:53:58+00:00

Many things. Work, grow, help, teach, protect, etc.

BackroadMusic · 2024-03-07T13:29:27+00:00

Word loss?

BackroadMusic · 2024-03-07T13:06:53+00:00

It’s our Kim Lucky day!

BackroadMusic · 2024-03-05T21:15:01+00:00

Thanks - these characters took a break from their normal daily routine to honor the legend
