I just think people are getting bored with watching youtubers. Its not the same thing as going to a bar and seeing the artist really commuinicating.

My idea is that the small venue will soon, if not already be a refreshing new experience. Besides, the sheer numbers of people on youtube and online. Competing with millions of other musicians. Its like the book I read the Indie Band Survival guide. Doing things against the grain, thats my nature anyway...i never do what Im told!

I gurantee you that if you played a small bar, and you are really good, lets not omit that, you need to be really good. But also engaging and personal, and you manage to pull in 20 people at your show. I gurantee you, you will leave a lasting impression with those folks more than you would if they clicked on you at youtube. There's something still not real about the internet, not sure what it is. The spectacle is more important than the content.

There's 'still going to be a need for social gathering physical places. and people needing to run bars to make a living. Small business minded people who need to get back in the game.

I dont think it will change the world, but I do think a musician has a better shot at getting fans the traditional way. Anybody can click and give a like, that's not a fan.
