Cover bands -- it's always cover bands

The New Hampshire music scene is a lot like many others. But maybe it will make you feel better knowing that you're not alone if you have trouble finding gigs for original music.

HippoPress -- The Hippo -- Guide to Manchester and Nashua NH: "It ain't easy being original.

"For bands trying to play their own music in New Hampshire, the road to getting gigs can be a bumpy one. Many bars and restaurants feel original bands are too much of a risk. Cover bands (bands that play popular music and serve as sort of a live jukebox) are a safer bet and have an easier time keeping a crowd on the floor dancing and just generally in the bar, buying drinks."
