So Nashville is not a bad idea for the maturing musician.
If I was putting together a project it would be in my interest to sell records to support my players, otherwise it would just be a hobby. I am only assuming you are over 24 because you are paying players, and a real young band does not have that responsibility of making a living.

I´m just trying to have a decent band that wouldn´t be ashamed of playing in NY or LA or China or whatever. I´m 29, I honestly don´t care about expiration dates. Whatever comes will come. All I can do is give my best.

If I have to think about the Reality of making money in this business, I would have quit many years ago.

Personaly I hate the word ¨hobby¨, that´s for stamp collecting.. music is my life.
