Eventually gigs will go back to being gigs again, same as they ever were. Fans pack in and listen and experience the band on stage.
But right now as shows start popping up here and there, there’s an in between emerging…where the band and the stage and the setlist are all the same as they ever were but the audience is taking in the show differently than they ever have before. From their car, from just outside their car, in a small taped off area, at a table, with lots of empty seats around them, where having a ticket to a “sold out” show doesn’t feel like a sold out show because the venue is minimizing capacity.
So there’s a creative opportunity for performers. You (as the artist) get to be on stage pretty much like normal, but your audience is going through something brand new. How can you make this exceptionally exciting for them? Can you put on a show that is memorable, specifically because of this unique artist/audience exchange?
And though its’ been said many times many ways…If you build it they will come…and take pictures of it and put them on the internet and tell their friends.
