Ever play at a clothing optional resort?

[Stubb]

Got hooked up to sub for an old friend's husband for a gig. Looking forward to it. Guy is a good writer with a following, not really in my genre but I'm flexible. Not sure what the pay is like but probably fine, and it's not super important.

Turns out the gig is at a clothing optional resort. Oh my.

Still doing it, perhaps making a weekend of it with my wife.

Anyone got any experience with something like this?

Wear you bass very low and you should be fine

I'd bring plenty of newspapers.

Never done it myself but I have been to clothing optional beaches where I played my guitar on the beach for free. I kept my pants on but maybe I’d have taken them off if someone had offered to pay me for the show

No, but I did play a few places, the closer it got to last call and the drunker they all got, it was becoming clothing optional for the more-well-oiled.

I’ve done it.
I chose to leave my clothes on.

At one point during the gig I felt a “disturbance in the force”, looked behind me and the hairy drummer had unbuttoned his shirt and was feeling free with his eyes closed.

The creepy guitar player told a server the he, “really liked her outfit” which happened to be nothing but an apron.

My take aways:
Doing it again would depend on who I’d be playing the gig with.
Also:
The type of people who like to be naked in public are not necessarily the type of people I like to see naked in public….but that’s not what it’s all about so..

We should be thankful we are not playing the tuba in such situation.

I've jammed at this one nude hot spring a few times, but people wear clothes outside of the pools.

If you take the gig, be sure to add "Let It All Hang Out" to your set list.

Extra careful with that squeezebox.

Just don’t go to the pool right before the gig.

 

[Rolling Thunder]

Be ready for a lot of old men and low hangers. The Olympic female volleyball team will not be anywhere to be found.

I suggest going Donald-Duck-Style on stage so you bass guitar doesn't give you pink belly.

Copious amounts of tequila will solve any inhibitions.

Nope.

 

[Titch]

Since nobody will be wearing any filters, just be careful not to hit the dreaded brown note..

Porky Piggin’ it?

IME the last people you want to see naked are the first ones to take their clothes off. Have fun, make eye contact, play your heart out.
