Summarizing everything I have read and soaked up from the Austin Music Census is that local musicians are broke. Austin seems to keep finding ways to not pay their musicians what they deserve.
One problem, are these musicians any good? The survey didn’t cover how many fans or record sales these bands or musicians had. Are these musicians great or mediocre? Maybe that’s why they’re not getting payed what “they deserve”? With a little more work on the census, we could have added the social medias and music of these artists. At the end of the day, these musicians need to learn ways to monetize their craft and not rely on a venue to be their only source of income.
