With record
sales continuing to drop, constant touring has become one of the best ways for
artists to make a living doing what they love. While to many musicians, this is
a good problem to have, the unfortunate fact remains that you have to spend
money to make money. Meaning that a substantial investment is needed to get the
tour rolling, largely because the pay for each gig is very uncertain. You don’t
want to end up in a situation when you are counting on a hundred dollar payout
from a gig with high school bands in Butte, MT to cover the gas and food costs
of getting you to a dive bar outside Carson City, NV. The trick to making sure a tour goes smoothly
is have some cash to fall back on if one, two, or three nights bring in little
or no money.
