Who has kids that are in a band or have been?


My son was majorly into playing in a band and recording music. He spent a lot of money (with help from dad) on equipment and recording fees. They recorded a full length cd and had an album release show. Then covid hit. All of the venues shut down. During that time, the drummer got married, the lead singer lost interest, and one member passed away from a fluke accident. My son plays lead guitar.

It was a fun time. Going to shows, etc. I figured the chances of them making it big were a long shot, but gotta try.

Anyone have stories to share?

They recorded a few low budget videos. Below is one of them. Recorded in their basement. Garrett said he was soaked in beer by the end of the video. Lol.

I don’t have any kids in a band but I have had many friends and relatives that played in various bands over the years.

Currently, some friends who are about 10 years my junior play in a local band as their “full-time” gig (I think the wives supplement their income). They have produced some really catchy songs, but for whatever reason, much to my and other’s protests, they’ve chosen not to have those songs professionally recorded. One of their songs in particular is incredibly radio worthy IMO but they apparently don’t share my sentiment. Sometimes I suspect they are fearful of success, or perhaps their spouses are.

Since I live in a “red state” and “lockdown” lasted for all of two weeks, Covid didn’t put much a damper on local performers.

 

I’m no videographer but it looks to me like your son’s video was well produced. Too bad they dis-banded.
