How many gigs did you play this year?

[marko138]

1 gig. January 26, 2014. Then I retired and I've never been happier.

 

[MattyH]

Over 130. I'm in a professionally contracted and promoted Wedding/Corporate/Holiday/Private Event Party band. Did a couple big name jobs this year actually. Traveled a bit too.

 

[Stick_Player]

Over 200, with carrots.

 

[Slough Feg Bass]

I don't really know actually...a bunch here and there, couple tours, etc.
During the summer I play for tourists at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, so that can be 3 - 5 times a week.
My other bands play much less, but still have bursts, so it may be close to 100, but I don't really keep track.
Probably more like 75.
I dunno. I'd have to ask my girlfriend, but then it might lead to her telling me to quit one of the bands again...

Cut way way back this past year. I have an every other week Sunday gig and did a few others, maybe 8-10?

I'm now playing so seldom I got blisters on a few gigs

 

[Richland123]

Since my last band dissolved a year ago, my gig playing was diminished this year due to forming a new band along with doing fill in gigs; so, I should have a total of about 34 gigs this year.

 

[Thunderbroom]

Now? About 5 or 6 a year.

Several years ago, about 50 - 70 a year plus a full-time job, a part-time business, a full-time doctoral student, and a family man. I slowed down intentionally. Was doing covers. Now doing originals. Smaller audiences. Less $$. Much happier.

Been blessed by church work and some light band gigging! Those consistent weekly gigs keep me afloat!

 

[ThePoloHobo]

If you count church (~50), I did about 70. 20 with the rock band. It was our first year playing shows so I say it went pretty well!

 

[AdamR]

15. we do 1 a month and a few extras.

 

[emf818]

Up to 20, To be fair though last year I only played 4 and last year was the first time I actually started gigging (And we started in October).

 

[ExaltBass]

Checked my calendar, and I came up with 34 - with the last one coming up two weekends from now.

 

[vickde]

56, not including jams and rehearsals. Slow year, down from 75 or so last year. We dropped a low-playing client because it was too much for a couple of the guys to drive.

 

[NicJimBass]

Haven't counted, but at least 104+, as we've been booked every Friday and Saturday (for the past 2.5 years+), plus some gigs during the week occasionally.

 

[TrevorOfDoom]

~90, plus a few i've either forgotten or repressed.

 

[movwkd]

I play in a touring punk band , and a oi band and the occasional wedding etc with a indie covers band so log up a lot of gigs over a year ..

 

[wisconsindead]

Well tally up 4 for me. Wish it was more. Though I just had my first gig in May, so I'm still pretty new to everything. Would definitely like to get it to the 30-40 range

 

[s0c9]

Probably around 80+
Maybe slightly less. Some of ours are 4 nighters Wed thru Sat, so 6 of those during the year = 24 gigs. The rest are mostly double-headers Fri/Sat with the occasional weekend off. Just a busy weekend warrior.. got a full-time job.

2015 will change some as our lead vocalist got "promoted" at work, and now has to work one weekend a month, EVERY month. Other than February, we're pretty booked thru May, and have had to turn down gigs already. Nice problem to have tho'!


UPDATE: oops.. Left out church gigs.. and I do at least 2 a month.. I did 6 in a row in July/Aug so add another 15 + ??.. LOL

 

[eldorado2001]

106 this year. We speak of cutting back a little bit, but we don't turn down gigs unless they conflict, so this pace may continue. \m/

 

[mellowinman]

I'm too depressed to count.

Even if we'd had more, I'm sure they would have been just awful.
