A gig cancellation can feel like a punch to the gut, especially when you’ve had it circled on the calendar for months. 

In this episode of Gig to Live, John talks honestly about the frustration performers feel when plans fall apart and the ripple effects it can have on both momentum and morale. With humor and perspective, he explores the posture working musicians can take when things go sideways, how to navigate conversations with venues, and why professionalism still matters in the moment. 

John rounds things out with a practical Top Ten list of smart ways to make the most of the unexpected opening in your schedule.
