Content

The image above is from the Portland event I played on March 8th, 2024, at the Atlantis Lounge. I have so much to say about playing shows that I talked about it for 1.5 hours straight. So, I'll break down what I discuss:

What to think about when picking gear.

How to get booked.

Why are we doing live hardware shows?

Good show etiquette.

My personal journey into hardware and why I do this.

I touch on much more than this, but I think these points generally sum up what this video conveys. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Questions for you: Why are you playing with live hardware? Do you want to play shows?

Best,

Matt
