Jeff - I'm interested in how you handle gig scheduling when you're in multiple bands at the same time. Sure, it's easy enough to set up a Google calendar and everyone in the band puts the days they're not available on it, but at what point does one band lose out because some members are gigging in their other bands?
That's what happened to my current band, Trilogy. When we wanted to book more gigs, the other guitarist was already committed to gigs in
his other band, so we couldn't schedule anything. Hence a week from Saturday will be our last gig.
When we started booking gigs last year, we had 2/month, and were looking to add another 1 or 2 per month, but all of a sudden we couldn't because Norm was booked on the alternate weekend already.
If/when I find other guys to play with, that will be a stipulation - that they aren't playing in any other bands that are gigging more than once a month.
