Holiday Gigs

‘Tis the season for all of the Holiday Performances. Here are a few things to think about as you dig in.

1) Make sure that you take breaks.

-This can be the most hectic and busy part of the year. Make sure to check in with yourself and if you need to rest do it!

As musicians we tend to forget that we are also athletes. Back pain and injuries can be debilitating so do what you need to protect yourself.

2) Plan Ahead

-Make sure that you give yourself extra time to arrive for performances. The venues and places that you are used to playing at will most likely be near or at capacity so traffic could be unpredictable.

3) Have Fun!

-This can be the most exciting time of the year. The music is nostalgic and even if you are playing it for the 100th time remember that it may be someones first time hearing it!
