First of all you want to become big rock stars.Don't ever forget that one.Check the yellow pages for booking agents they will get you the jobs that you need.The agent will probably ask to talk the band's leader.The band leader will get the booking dates from the agent-- talk to club owners and so on.The band leader will be getting the money while the rest of the band is loading the equipment in to the truck!Treat music like it is your corporation.Your corporation has to be professionally run to be successful.Bands for some reason break up right when things start to go good---so be careful of the band break up pitfalls.Playing on weekends and holidays is fine for starts.Your band will need a name and a checking account.Being in a band is the best training for life that I can think of.The moment your dad and mom handed you that guitar you redirected your entire life in to music!There's not too many experiences higher than being in a band!The number of individuals that want to be serious rock stars is so small as to be almost uncountable.People do what they do.We need plumbers and we need rock stars.If you want to be a plumber so be it.If you want to be a rock star---ROCK ON!(click the below link)

Call around to the local clubs and bars and try to set up some bookings (gigs). Depending on what kind of music you play you can even get gigs in your local American Legion's and Moose Lodge's. You can also play some gigs in nursing homes, they pay little or nothing, but the older people really love it. Basically, any place that has live music is where you want to call to try and get a booking.

You don't. I play in a local weekend bar band and am getting about the same amount of money that I was getting 35 years ago. Horrid business. You'd better do it for the love of music, not the money. Good luck!
