Depends on what kind of music you play. Do you have an agent? Try putting an ad on craigslist.org under the St. Louis section and see if you get any responses.

Hmm, thats a tough one. I'd check out the career services center at your University. Graduate school is always a good idea, you can teach. Most of my friends with music degrees are in other fields, but they usually use the music background to make money on the side. Churches hire musicians, as do theater groups and semi-pro sports teams. Good luck!

Go to your local music store and they will hook you up with others that are looking for singers and other band members. This is how i got my band together.

The easiest way would be to go to a show at a club in a city close to yours, and meet them after at the merch tables...bands usually hang out at the merch tables after shows.

Go through the roadie chain, haha, just kidding. Big ticket concerts are always having contests and promotions for backstage passes.

Start taking pictures of bands.\n\nFind some local bands, contact them and take some free pictures.  Let them know you're trying to do it professionally and to spread the word.  Local bands are always looking for people to help them get images for websites, flyers, EP covers, and to satisfy their own vanity.

either the Paradise Rock Club or the Middle East- both in the Boston, MA area\n\nThey play all kinds of music both places, and they're not really local for me, but it's one of the closest cities and both venues are great for small shows with indie "unknowns" playing.

If they're lucky, about $100 a gig, and then they have to split it among the members. \nEither play well to get into spendier places or go solo.

You have to promote your music. If you're playing gigs put all the money you can on a great album to sell at your shows. Form a relationship with your local radio stations. Some will play indie music. Get in touch with music publishers. Do anything you can to get heard. The major labels won't accept unsolicited material so don't waste your time. You can also try taxi.com. They're a huge company the big boys go to when they want fresh faces and material. Don't give up. Good luck.
