Live music question! How do I get a gig in a live music venue?

I just joined.  I've seen people post live performances in SL venues.  I can't see how to get involved in these.  Any suggestions?

 

 

Thanks for the links & suggestions.  This is not at all what I expected.  Still might give it a try though. . . .

If you're a performer, you need to advertize.  One way is to post a note in the Inworld Employment forum describing what sort of performance you can do.  That might get some nibbles.  A better way is to make friends with a club owner or just find a friend who owns some land and is willing to take a chance on letting you perform. Word of mouth works well.  Meanwhile, start lurking in the Art, Music & Photography forum to get a feel for what other artists are talking about, and try reading things to get some background about the technical side of things.  Here's a start .....
