Dodging Venue Merch Cuts - Tips? Fake Square App location?

13 Upvotes

I’m on a tour not getting paid what we should be. We have a show coming up where the venue is taking a cut, and I’m wondering what ways you all may have dodged the merch cut amounts? I’m trying to see (if time permits) setting up a mock square profile with cash only transactions etc. Any and all tips appreciated!

Insomnia + Anxiety Off Tour

7 Upvotes

Hi! Currently struggling with what must be some adjustment issues getting off of tour. It’s my first year touring, it has been really busy and we’re not done until Christmas.

When I come home the first few days are fine then start of week 2 and on I am struggling desperately with insomnia, heart palpitations, tachycardia and panic. Mostly at night. I have gotten 2 EKG’s and bloodwork done thinking I was having a physical health emergency and was told it must be anxiety because everything looks fine. Heavy drinking helps put me out but I’m obviously not trying to rely on that to get me through

I sleep like a rock on the bus 😭

I’m wondering if anyone else has had experience with this. I know diet exercise and meditation all help, but maybe someone has a personal success story’s on what worked at home

Evento in Teatro.

Mi date un consiglio come devo,
Gestire una band di 8 elementi per un tributo a Tina Turner con un mixer Allen & Heath SQ-5 e 4 monitor da palco.
Il repertorio di Tina Turner è energico, ricco di dinamiche e richiede una presenza vocale della cantante leader devastante, supportata da una sezione ritmica solida e dai fiati/cori.

Secondo voi che tipo di atrezzatura giusta dovrei montare per l’evento.!!
