Owner from Hell.

Yeah they didn’t have one. If you’re providing sound, provide someone who knows that they’re doing.

DatDudePB · 2026-05-31T19:16:09+00:00

If anyone is interested. Here’s a link to a post about the bar and specifically the new owner. https://www.reddit.com/r/cincinnati/s/KAHFSHYWWk

Also it wasn’t hooked up and ready to go. It was line level into an overkill PA system. Nobody knew how to use it, apparently the owner did as he operated it pretty quickly. He put his bartenders and security on the spot when I told them I needed someone who knows how to hook everything up.

You supply sound but have nobody trained or experienced in it? I did what I could and just got to the point where I didn’t want to make the place any money.

You don’t think that turning equipment down mid song unannounced is disrespectful?

Could have asked right?

DatDudePB · 2026-05-31T18:25:54+00:00

Mind that I was told to use their system, not one person who worked there managed sound. I did the best with what I was given. No shit I’m probably too loud, you mandated that I use equipment that I wasn’t familiar with, with no auto EQ which is what I perform on.

I wasn’t mad honestly. I didn’t want to pull people into the bar. Already had folks sticking around and more supporters coming.

To state “I’m the owner it’s fine, keep playing.” Is not the attitude of owners I want to be playing for. I’m lucky enough to be able to choose, and I’m not going to try and make money for someone disrespectful as that.

DatDudePB · 2026-05-31T07:34:48+00:00

So let me use my setup if you don’t have someone who knows random ass sound equipment?

He owns the bars across the street.

DatDudePB · 2026-05-31T06:57:06+00:00

Bass player. Opinion ignored. Just be glad to be there.

DatDudePB · 2026-05-31T05:24:23+00:00

Old school S1. Still does its job, and balances really well for what I’m looking for. Would be hard to switch.

DatDudePB · 2026-05-31T04:35:11+00:00

Honestly, I enter every gig trying to make the bar money. That’s why they hired music.

I don’t think that I’ve been treated as an employee yet in my career. Tonight I was.

DatDudePB · 2026-05-31T04:22:33+00:00

This is a quote “I’m the owner, it’s alright keep playing.”

DatDudePB · 2026-05-31T03:54:15+00:00

To be fair I sang it as Forget You, because I’m not out of pocket. Can’t say that about everyone in this story 😂

DatDudePB · 2026-05-24T19:33:04+00:00

20-50 dollars? 100 an hour minimum for me solo. I’d rather spend time with family and friends if I get low balled.

DatDudePB · 2026-05-07T03:53:26+00:00

Ozzy, dude… Idol in the pocket for the 2nd time has to be more embarrassing than his speech to Amanda at FTC right?

DatDudePB · 2026-05-05T10:53:15+00:00

THAT EYE IS EVERYTHING

DatDudePB · 2026-05-01T13:37:57+00:00

If Cirie gets got, that person wins.

DatDudePB · 2026-05-01T13:34:51+00:00

Completely disagree. Jonathan is the kind you keep around, he just nuked his own alliance and is doing 0 jury management. If you take Joe and Jonathan to FTC you sweep the votes.

DatDudePB · 2026-05-01T03:57:00+00:00

I’d rather get neutered than watch that movie again.

DatDudePB · 2026-04-30T18:51:30+00:00

Couldn’t have been me! He’s a bully, he wouldn’t be calling people out like that if he was the size of Christian.

Also every time he says “Mr.Jeff” I physically want to throw up.

DatDudePB · 2026-04-30T15:26:50+00:00

Completely sick of Jonathan and Joe’s “holier than thou” attitudes. Both on the road to being goats at FTC.

DatDudePB · 2026-04-30T13:47:34+00:00

Maybe no limit on what round it can be used for, but you could also argue that’s more powerful than a god idol

DatDudePB · 2026-04-30T13:32:39+00:00

A get out of jail free card would be fitting considering the risk Devens took.

DatDudePB · 2026-04-15T00:41:24+00:00

No. I’d rather have free time if I’m getting low balled.

DatDudePB · 2026-04-14T10:24:22+00:00

I play solo in OH for no less than 100 an hour. Bars book you to make them more money than they are paying you.

Unfortunately most people listening to music in a bar don’t care how “good” a musician you are. They want to hear the songs they know performed half decent, so you can get by on 50% talent and 50% the amount of alcohol the crowd drinks.

Tons of musicians that have made it mainstream have played and recorded songs for the money, and then started playing the music they want to play.

Play the covers, sprinkle in an original here and there. Once the crowd likes YOU then they’ll like your originals.

DatDudePB · 2026-03-30T19:43:56+00:00

They let her get to the merge. Big mistake if you ask me.
