The Psychology of Performing to Small Crowds
Every musician’s been there. You set up, tune up, look around… and realise you’re basically playing to the furniture. In this video, I dive into the psychology of performing to small crowds, how to stay motivated, keep your stage presence strong, and actually enjoy the gig instead of plotting your early retirement halfway through Wonderwall. We’ll cover mindset shifts, practical tips, and a few mental tricks to help you turn even the deadest room into a valuable experience. Because small gigs aren’t punishment, they’re a proving ground for real performers. 🎸 Learn how to handle quiet crowds, recover from bad nights, and build resilience as a working musician without losing your sense of humour.
