Last PA question...

"Thanks bro...I appreciate the props. We are finding it a lot easier to book acoustic shows than full band shows. We are also finding it more lucrative and, a whole lot easier on us physically. Right now we are actually having to turn down acoustic gigs."

Ditto. I could play every night of the week with my duo, though the gigs go later than 10pm. We turn down acoustic gigs left and right, though we're playing a lot (check our schedule at www.mothertruckerrocks.com). They're easier in every way and we make more money individually. BUT, as I explained to my singer partner, I do need to plug in and turn up from time to time. If I didn't, we wouldn't be putting the new band together.

Putting the new band together is actual work. Maybe it was a bad call. ;-)

 
+1 on the positives of acoustic gigs. I've been doing a duet/occasional trio thing with Most Esteemed Redhead for 10 years now. Much easier all around.

Those JBL MP415 cabs are killah!

 
Stevie and I do an occasional corporate gig that pays us $450 for a one hour set before some bigwig yaps at the assembled folks. We eat catered food that we can't afford while the stuffer jaws, and then play for the 10 minutes that it takes to empty the room. No vocals, just background stuff.

I love those gigs.....
