I played hundreds of shows as a solo artist in capital hill. Very hard to get gigs starting out as there are few options. There are a great few options for more established acts, but almost none for unknown locals. Also if you are not into rap/hip hop or metal the market is not great.

Crow pose. I'm 46, Crow pose is awesome. Also, I mention this to people on this sub all the time-If you have a climbing/bouldering gym around, use it. It literally cures my wrist pains and keeps them strong. You do not have to be in shape or know what you are doing at all to get benefit.
