I. Whether you are doing a weekly live streaming event, or have begun to safely perform some live concerts, we are coming up on the best weekend of the year for gigs. Let me explain.
For years, I’ve talked about Thanksgiving weekend as being the best weekend of the year for gigging.
Well this year those live gigging opportunities are not available, for the most part. You may find an innovative venue here and there set up to present safe and COVID conscientious gigs, but they are slim and far from available in every town.
So, the next best opportunity this year, is for a streaming gig.
