Unless you do something extraordinary well, and get exposure, its hard to draw much of an audience. Audiences have been desensitized by over hype, and/or mediocre talent. Another thing, and sometimes its hard to convince certain musicians, for some stupid, blocked reason,..being as we are dealing with sound, learn more than chops, learn sound, and sound engineering!!....Even if you are doing acoustic sets, learn blending of sound!!..it is a huge must!!..And don't give any attention to the 'purists' who get pissy at electronics...Every thing we've ever heard, on the radio, on a record, disc, t.v., or even live, as soon as you use a microphone, or pick-up, you're using electronics. Now if you like to play around a campfire,..don't expect a big audience. Warmest regards to all my musical family out there!!
