Why is it hard to get people to come to your shows?
Because the only thing people value more than community is laying low.

That’s your battle as an artist.
Community and connection is WAY up there on the list, but taking it easy is just a little higher.
The miracle of people coming out to your show is just that, a miracle. Doesn’t matter if you’re playing a coffee shop or a stadium. It’s a miracle.
Think of all the things that had to happen in order to get them to your show. Not even just the things that particular day but the days, weeks, months and maybe years of strung together events, feelings and situations that finally lead them to your gig…or they could just decide to lay low, despite all of that.
The 1 person or the 10,000 people at your show overcame the largest modern day hurdle to be there.
