In the UK its such a mix you can hear the same musicians one day in a packed out small venue, or venue a packed huge one and the next in an almost empty small venue. I think its a marketing issue. Also I a lot of small venues never opened after Covid.

I lived in Rutherford, NJ for 4 years, taking the bus under the water. AND NOBODY told me how they pay $3000 a month rent in NYC and precisely HOW MUCH NYC gigs paid. If rent is roughly 25%, one would need $3000 a week gigging money. That's 6 nights @$500 a pop. Somehow I doubt it.......

Yeah Covid was a major gig killer and I don’t see much of a bounce back. In NYC, spiraling rent is another challenge.

Yes, the rent is too damn high, same problem here
