I think the opportunities to play music the old fashioned way are still out there, should you decide that that is what you really WANT...
Case in point, my guitarist of the last seven years or so relocated to Oregon. We had always done a duo using the G1000, then the G70. Some sequences, some styles, mostly LH bass and the drum section, and some stuff with all the machines turned off. He found out that a neighbor was a songwriter like him (both acoustic guitar), they hung out, wrote some songs, decided to try gigging it. Now they work three or more gigs a week doing NOTHING but original music. No tracks, no electronics, no nothing.
He misses what was our hectic gigging schedule, in the primetime we were doing 10+ a week, but OTOH, he is a FAR more artistically satisfied person now, and with teaching to flesh out the income, still makes enough to get by adequately.
I find it strange that, while guitarists seem to be perfectly at home with playing with no tracks, and can sometimes seem to keep their audiences' attention maybe even BETTER for it, you find few keyboard players any more that are willing (or able) to go that route. Perhaps having all this technology so easily and affordably available has blinded us to the fact that, when people go out to listen to live music, they REALLY want to hear 'live' music... not karaoke.
Back in the day, before karaoke became an American 'thing', you would get quite a response from having all the backing sequenced or styled up, people hadn't seen anything like that in the eighties and early nineties, and people seemed to make the connection that it WAS you still doing all that stuff. But unfortunately, now that karaoke is in the mainstream, people see someone singing or playing to tracks, and the FIRST thing that goes through their mind is 'karaoke' and it's hard to get them to think it any other way.
It might be getting towards the time where we need to take a leaf out of the acoustic guitarists' manual, and reconnect our audiences with the fact that it is US that are playing, not some tracks...
