Looking to play more live shows? On our Music Think Tank blog, **Chris Bracco** gives   **10 things you can do to get more gigs**. Things such as creating a YouTube channel, making business cards, networking, and getting creative can help get your music out to the masses. A great way to get more gigs is to meet and develop a relationship with bigger bands that can help you get opening slots. Playing live shows is one of the best ways for fans to hear your music and connect with you. **Chris suggests:**

“Play outside clubs where bands are playing that fit in with your style of music. Those people waiting in line are going to be bored, so playing a **spontaneous gig** right on the spot will definitely make an **unforgettable** impression.” ([More tips](http://www.musicthinktank.com/blog/10-things-bands-can-do-to-book-more-live-shows.html?ref=hypebot.com "More Tips"))
