This video was made in 2020, and the dollar amounts suggested are from that pre-inflation era.
The Working Musician is all about the business of playing live gigs, how to start a band or solo act, how to get your band booked, and how to make money as a musician while doing what you love!

If you book a gig far away from home for a good paying wedding gig you can also try to book other smaller gigs along the way and make a “tour” out of it so to speak. I come mainly from the original music space where we get paid little to nothing outside of our hometown but that’s what we’d generally do 😂.

That's a great idea. My band has done that before, too, more or less. Have a great week!

That's very kind of you, Rafael. Thanks!

I was just thinking “how does this guy have so few subs”, well now you have one more!

Rehearsals pay $0.00 an hour. Same with travelling.

@@theworkingmusician8842 You are welcome. I enjoy your videos and I hope you don't think I was being sarcastic. It's a point that brought in a book years ago and I try to keep it in mind.

how to marketing to get gigs?

[@theworkingmusician8842]

The best way is to go the venue and speak to the manager in person, but you can also email them through their website or DM on their Facebook page. To get wedding gigs, you should post a free ad as a "vendor" on the many wedding websites, which you can easily find with a Google search. Have a great weekend!

@@theworkingmusician8842 Thank you so much, I spent the weekend digging your content and it is precious information you got here. Any plans to get back making them? Have a great week

[@theworkingmusician8842]

Yes, and I'd love to hear if you have any specific topics or questions you'd like me to address.

[@ohgahbriel]

@@theworkingmusician8842 Maybe now an 'After pandemic video' with some updates. Also maybe you could interview a venue manager, would be cool to see their perspective

What do you use as your sound reinforcement rig.

[@theworkingmusician8842]

Great idea for a video. Thanks!

I guess he's 'hard of reading.'😊
