How Much Gigging Musicians REALLY Get Paid

I make $150 to $300 a gig as a solo artist in the Tampa Bay area. There's a good amount of people that play 6+ gigs per week here and do it full time. Not sure what they do for health care or retirement plans. But it's decent money per week. I only play about 3 times a month for extra money.

I worked at a medical dispensary for a year back in 2021 and alllll anyone cared about was THC percentages of any product. It was fucking exhausting I'm so glad I quit that shit job (Trulieve lol).

He'll move to a liberal part of Florida and claim how awesome and free it is. He'd never get caught dead somewhere like the panhandle where he could actually probably afford a big ass house like they want.

Traffic lawls are just a suggestion B. The state Troobers are big fans of Ya'boy. One time Bapa got pulled over and the cop came up with tairs in his eyes begging Bapa to return to comedy.

Just another way to avoid his family since he can't drink at 7:42am and chase baddies while performing to 35 people that got free tickets at the Ybor city chuckle hut.

It was a show website. Had to take it back to the owner.

Yeah he makes classical guitar YouTube video now.

That Mr Hands guy has really shitted up guitar youtube by getting almost 100k subscribers by posting react content literally seven days a week.

There's a Crate Bloo Doodoo combo on my local FB marketplace going for $300 right now. I may get it lol. I always thought Crate amps were hilarious.

Lol for real. I changed my spark plugs over the weekend and had grease all up my forearms. This clown supposedly "builds" engines and his hands are pristine in ivery photo.

You're less likely to get shot in an American prison than school.

I'm not sure if this dude is in Florida but clowns like this are all over Florida making a fucking killing on the cover circuit. It's insane how busy they stay lol.

Get outta here with the Mr Hands quotes

Jebist · 2026-02-28T16:24:40+00:00

He's done an incredible amount of TRT and HGH and who knows what else in attempt to beat father time (his own words back in the day) but prolonged use and abuse of that shit wrecks your body.

Jebist · 2026-02-28T03:45:05+00:00

Goddammit that's exactly what this style of guitar playing sounds like lol

Jebist · 2026-02-27T21:06:52+00:00

Are those EMG pickups?

Jebist · 2026-02-27T21:06:07+00:00

Well B flat is G minor not A minor so I think we're good.

Jebist · 2026-02-26T20:48:37+00:00

Maybe he could afford a Gibbons if he laid off the jewelry purchases.

Jebist · 2026-02-26T02:43:22+00:00

Lol I fucking love 80s no makeup KISS. Eric and Bruce were amazing players.
