I'm stumped. I know how to market myself, have some money to do it, have equipement and knowledge on how most of it works. My problem is finding band members that will stick, in a town of hired guns (nashville). The hired guns don't have time for practice becasue of other gigs. Finding band members who would commit is like pulling teeth here because of the "oprotunities" that come their way. Funny thing is, those opportunities will only put some quick cash in their pockets, but won't build them a long term source of income due to saturation and the many empty promises out there.
I'm trying to build a Dave Matthews Band kinda structure, where I'm the captain of the ship, but any captain will listen to the needs of his crew well. The only thing is, the harbor here is full of other boats that usually don't go anywhere. So the crew winds up jumping ship.
Any ideas of how to keep the crew before things bust loose and the results come. (man, these kids don't understand that it doesn't happen over night!)
