We need to know where we can unload and park. Venue maps are helpful!
We can provide any equipment with 2 weeks notice for an extra fee. If Michelle is playing alone she will need help carrying equipment!
Yes, but this may require an equipment fee if equipment isn't provided at the venue.
The best gig I've ever done on paper was playing with Miley Cyrus at the Grammy's this year, but honestly my favorite moments are making music for my friends who are solo artists. There is so much more of a human connection in those projects and that's my main motivator as an artist and musician.
I started gigging for money when I was 14. The teachers at my high school hired me to play weddings and other low-pressure, friendly type gigs with them. I also organized a little string quartet with my fellow high school students and played at the local library on holidays. Since then, music has taken me to faraway and much more high-pressure situations.
