    Small venues offer more opportunities. I also am a musician myself, so being friendly with opening local acts and sometimes doing sound or hell, even sometimes filling in for my buddies if they needed a guitar or bass to step in. I’ve just been involved in the scene as a fan, a tech, and musician for a long time, it just kind of happens.
