As an new-ish artist, if you’ve been working and writing and connecting and helping for a while but haven’t played a show for all these (industry) people to come out to, you might think about doing it.
People like going to shows of people they like.
So if you’ve been workin it for the last twelve months making good impressions everywhere you go…then that’s a lot of people walking around with a positive vibe about you. And these people can help you (and you can help them).
A show is a great way to trigger the help.
You can get people to promise you a lot of favors in the moment if they come out to your gig and have a fun night. The trick is making sure those promises come to fruition…which is an art unto itself.
But the show is a point of excitement. It gets peoples brains vibrating at a higher rate on your behalf.
If you haven’t in a while…PLAY. Good things will happen.
p.s. That last sentence “good things will happen”…as in: good things will be happening, and you must be disciplined to open your eyes, see, and keep paying attention, learn and take action.
