HH / Bluffton pretty much shuts down for Jan. / Feb. Been bouncing around trying to find some things to do myself and it's a tough sell. They don't "get" keyboards here, very few keys players out there, and they really don't understand an Arranger. The Block Party I did was a last minute fill in for the band Target. Got the call at 5:45 for a 7 PM start. Threw my stuff in the car and got started by 7:20. Job went fantastic and good thing I had a powerful PA. Did a combo of Keyboard / DJ.
Will it lead to more gigs, who knows, but that's how it goes here. Lots and lots of musicians pushing for the same gigs.
For the mellower solo gigs its guitars, guitars, guitars. Love to find a nice restaurant to do something steady next Season.
Forget the Bar scene no money there,....people are people anywhere you go,....there will always be private work,....Weddings, Anniversary, Retirement Parties, Baptisms, Confirmation, Bar Mitzvah, Birthdays, Dinner Dances, Family events,Picnics, Golf banquets, Country Clubs, 55+ Communities, Nursing homes, Wedding DJ Showcases, etc, etc, etc, all need entertainment $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Some has to do all this work why shouldn't be you?.....
do some homework, online, newspaper announcements, personal visits, and start making calls....good luck.
