Re: Mandolin solo gigs with backing tracks?
I began developing my prerecorded back tracks over 5 years ago out of necessity. At this point I have almost 100 tunes on my iPad and gig regularly at local restaurants and such. I was apprehensive at first but nobody blinked and most were tapping their toes so off I went. Prior to this period I've always played with people and love it. These days in my area few if any musicians are in my musical niche. Lots of local performers use looping gear. Then there are the ones that turn their nose up to any and all machinery. In the long run I just love to gig and play music.
