How Many Times A Week Do You Perform?

Nowadays, I guess it is between 2 and 5 per week. I have been doing one gig on Saturday afternoons for 18 years. I did Sundays at another place for 14 years, left there for 7, and now have been back there for one year on Sundays.

 

I did have about a 12 to 13 year stretch where I averaged 5 per week, which I thought was a pretty neat trick. (I live in a heavy tourist town, and always did double Saturdays).

Four minimum, sometimes up to six gigs a week. I also live in a tourist town, but I'm fortunate to have a decent local following as well. My steady Thursday gig I've had for about 5 years, and my Saturday gig I've held for nearly 21 years. And I've got a lot of semi-regular bookings at other venues, as well as festivals and private events to keep me busy. It's a good thing!

Twice a week is about the average. Seasonally, I play less in the winter compared to the other seasons. Last July I played 17 times that month, but last January I played only 4 times.

 

Last week I played 3 times, this week it's 2, next week it's 1. I got a call to sub next week for a local band that has a decent draw, but it's my anniversary and Mrs. Chemikool would shoot me if I did it.

 

8-12 times a month would be about my average between solo, duo and full band gigs, but some months are heavier than others.
