    Then the point’s even stronger for you… for your very first show, no matter WHERE you’re starting to play, it’s great (if not essential) to rely on family and friends. The request to make when you invite them to the show is to bring THEIR friends. Those guests are the link to the audience you need to reach to pack your gigs EVERY week.
