Don’t Say Yes to Another Gig Until You Read This

For musicians on any instrument—especially college students and recent graduates preparing for professional life.

Most musicians agree to gigs without knowing what they’re walking into. This free PDF—20 Smart Questions to Ask Before Saying Yes to Any Gig—helps you ask the right questions before you commit.

It’s straightforward. No filler. These are the same questions I’ve used throughout my career to figure out if a gig was worth it—whether I was playing a bar, a corporate event, or a Broadway show.

This checklist will help you:

  • Avoid gigs that aren’t worth your time

  • Spot red flags before you commit

  • Make sure the money, the people, and the music are right

  • Say no with confidence—or yes with clarity

It’s one of many practical tools in my book, Broadway Bound and Beyond. The career and business lessons apply across instruments, with particular value for students moving from school into professional life.
