Creator's Key Takeaways
Musicians are the ones who get screwed every single time.
This problem does not exist on cruise ships.
The reliability of a paycheck, the fact that we know that we're not going to be double booked and if we are, we're still going to be paid for the day because we have a contract for that period of time.
I'm upset. I'm disappointed.

Inside The Music - my vlog about all things relating to my multi-faceted music career and my life in general. June 9, 2023 After an exhausting two-hour drive to reach the venue, we were met with an unexpected surprise that left us stunned and frustrated. As we arrived, we found another band already setting up, and it quickly became clear that our highly anticipated performance was not going to happen. In this vlog, we'll take you through the rollercoaster of emotions we experienced, from the initial shock and disappointment to the frustration of dealing with the venue and booking agents. We'll provide an inside look into the challenges musicians face when working with land-based venues and the sometimes unreliable booking systems. As we reflect on this unfortunate incident, we'll also highlight the stark contrast between the challenges we encountered on land versus the stability and security we enjoy as musicians on cruise ships. We'll delve into the benefits of working on cruise ships, where such issues are virtually non-existent, allowing us to focus solely on our music and deliver exceptional performances to enthusiastic audiences. Join us on this vlog to witness the highs and lows of a musician's life, gain insights into the complexities of dealing with venues and booking agents, and discover why working on cruise ships provides a unique and reliable opportunity for artists seeking stability and peace of mind. Even the best-laid plans can go awry, but there is an exciting alternative in the world of cruise ship gigs, where musical adventures await without the headaches of venue double bookings.
