All of my gigs (6 a week) are within 20 miles of each other so its not uncommon to see the same singers at each venue one time or another. My nights are usually made or broken by the volume of people that show up and spend money. The nights are definitely better for me if certain singers show up tha...

We just recently secured a two night gig at the bowling alley (3 weeks ago) and have been leaving our equipment (minus laptop and hard drives) on the stage with everything kinda tucked away in the back. It has worked out well thus far and I dont think I would've considered it if they didnt have came...

While Elvis, Deano, and Frank were classic singers there morality was definitely in question. From drug overdoses, alcoholism, womanizing, infidelity, mob ties, etc. they were not role models. Even some of there lyrics are questionable in nature and could be considered offensive. Why not these guys ...

You can only do so much, Bigdog. You bring em' in and provide the entertainment and its the bartender, waitress, owner's job to get their money. Are these bartenders, etc. upselling their alcohol? Is the wait staff pushing appetizers, etc.? Has the owner produced any drink or food specials to help c...

Most of the time contests are useless. Like Sabrina said, they're popularity contests and usually piss somebody off warranted or not. The bowling alley I recently started doing gigs at had a 6 week compettion that involved all 6 of their venues. The event was so unsuccessful that within 2 weeks afte...

Unfortunately it usually is the water drinkers that whine the most at my shows. They spend little and expect preferential treatment. There the ones that ask you if they can sing two in a row because they have to go home. They ask you to start earlier and stay later while leaving your tipjar empty. T...

I think ordering two pitchers of beer and mixed drinks is totally acceptable behavior in a bar and if you decide to order water to sober up for the drive home, which is very responsible, then you have to pay for it as well. Whether it be in a pitcher or bottle. What are you suggesting that if you sp...

You know, I was thinking about this today and realize that on most nights I do karaoke I don't sing. Either it's too busy or my wife starts us out and I get lost doing sound, etc. I think I just wanted to sing a little last night and also check my competition (not that I have any...lol that was 4 u ...

Am i losing it??????????
I was doing 4 gigs a week and recently acquired another night. So that basically means I have only one day off minus Sunday to do something. Here it is Wednesday night(my night off) and I just got home from a karaoke show near my house. Am I like in a karaoke tail-spin? I'm starting to feel really w...
