Detroit bass player Grover “GT” Tigue knows too well about the wildly varying rhythms of the gig economy.
Tigue has been a musician for the past 21 years, but he saw his bookings crash for roughly a year during the pandemic.
“I didn’t start gigging in 2021 until about April,” Tigue said.
More work, including playing his bass guitar one September evening at the members-only Craft Cannabis Club in Detroit, picked up as the vaccines became more readily available.
But one thing the pandemic should have taught everyone who is a gig worker — musicians, dog walkers, delivery drivers, you name it — is that you must keep good records when it comes to your business, mileage, expenses and income.
