Not yet here in New Mexico. Things are slowly starting to open back up, but bars and nightclubs are still closed and it looks like they'll be that way at least partway into June. Our last gig was March 13, but we're hoping the June 12 gig we have scheduled will still happen.
Part of the fallout from this whole lockdown thing is that two of the bar/restaurant music venues here have closed permanently. There's not that many places to play for pay here anyway, so the loss of two venues is a pretty big hit.
There's a rumor AC might open casinos/beach bars for July 4. If they do open I'm hoping to get all my gigs back, 1 or 2 gigs and I have to look at it financially as I'd make out better with unemployment.Keeping my fingers crossed the open up Atlantic City and the Jersey Shore.
I never really stopped, but it slowed WAY down and the gigs got weirder.
I've done a few gigs like this. Talk about safe-distance - LOL.
I have another safe-distance gig for some ranchers this weekend.
It might be safe-distance, but it ain't safe -- they're drinking and roping real longhorns!
Ha Ha! You noticed -- it cracks me up every time.The money on a fishing line thing got me. Still LMAO.
Lmao! I hear you.In Missouri I’ve played a couple times now at church for a smaller, socially-distanced audience. My cover band has a gig in July, and while we have no confirmation either way, with everyone seemingly eager to move back to business-as-usual lately, I have a feeling it’s going to happen. Time to shut down the isolation overeating!
