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.

Good commercial pop song. The drummer playing open handed puts him into a fairly select group.

The ability to make money out of original music is in inverse proportion to its democratisation and, unfortunately that's only going to get worse with Ai.

But music is just like any other art form - you had better do it because you love it rather than to make an income from it, so kudos to any parent that supports their children's ambitions.

@OP Very true. In the music biz there's a lot of truth in the saying "it's not what you know, it's who you know".
