Just dropped out of a band that went for 9 years. What a run! Solo/duo gigs are really picking up around my area. I've got all my backing tracks on Mp3 now. I use Drums,Bass and a smidgen of keys so I can play guitar and sing to them. Makes for a great mix. Simple is better! LOL. Took all my MIDI and turned them into Mp3's. Just grabbed a couple of the new Alto 3XT12 powered speakers. nice and light and really put out some sound. Also use a 4 panel black accordion divider behind me along with velcroed battery operated par LED lights on each side. Makes people focus on my setup. I have my ZOOM L8 Mixer to handle the sound for me. Also grabbed a Cube EX street amp for my guitar. Super light and really puts out needed volume at 50 watts. Grabbed a new 15" laptop to run "Showplay" for my backing tracks and lyrics. Super easy to add moving lyrics to my Mp3's. Been doing the solo/duo thing off and on for the last 11 years. Collected a lot of equipment to do it. But as equipment get's lighter and more efficient I ugrade and store the older stuff away and use in a pinch if necessary. Already tried all this out on a couple of small gigs. Had a good time. At this point, I don't miss the band at all right now anyway 😁 Hope everybody is out there doing their thing too!
