There was a weekly series at a venue in Nashville. Eight bands. Three songs each.
Who gets the best slot?
On a typical bill the biggest band goes last.
But on this bill the biggest band probably wants the choice…they have the leverage.
So they take a middle slot because the middle is where the fashionably late people have arrived, the people who got there at the beginning aren’t tired of being there yet, and the handful of people who wanna see the later bands are a little early. Perfect for the middle band.
But before you get too good at playing a three song set in the middle of an eight band bill…book your own show. It’s way more scary and way more risky. But you’ll find out what you’ve really got.
