Just wanted to revive this thread. Decided to ride out a few more years here in NYS to get better retirement. All of my comments previous to this still stand. We are thinking of retiring in a bit but we need stuff to do as we’re only early 50s. So wondering how the music scene /restaurant scene is now-husband can solo/lead singer/keyboards, etc. I’m still doing some bartending. Obviously a nightclub wouldn’t be good for me being in my 50s but I have extensive experience including over 12 years in the craft beer area. I’m so ready to not be in IT anymore! Do these seem viable for side income? To get an idea of husband’s capability check out The Mcgroovin Highlight reel on YouTube or check Facebook for the Live Wire Panic Band on Facebook-he’s the lead singer of both. Thanks so much for your input.

Needs more cowbell!

j/k, good stuff, rare to find bands with keys, horns and even a fiddle! Great vocals too.

Everything needs more cowbell!

I appreciate your compliment Flamadiddle! Thank you so much for taking the time to look and comment. We're going back and forth-Wilmington NC vs. Tampa Bay. They both seem to have pretty decent music scenes, but the Tampa area is HUGE. My mom lives in ZHills so we're pretty familiar. Just seems like there would be more opportunity for a versatile musician around the Gulf Coast than Wilmington and area. He, ideally, would like to gig 2-3 times a week. Like I said for me - I'll be leaving IT to just do a little restaurant gig (I've ALWAYS had the restuarant/bartending side gig throughout my career) so I can get myself set either place.

Bump! We are getting pretty close to actually retiring and I'm wondering how the music scene is in the area post-covid. Thanks everyone!
