Music Without a Gig

Music Without a Gig tells the story of a kid who grows up refusing to let his Christian mother and his I-don’t-care-one-way-or-the-other father detour him from playing music. After joining the school band, he meets two girls who tell him about Mr. Peaches, the band director, and his behavior.

Based in New Orleans, where there is plenty of good music, he plays the clubs, churches, the French Quarter, and even a few Mardi Gras parades. Whether getting fired, being under paid, or witnessing a shooting, he refuses to give up, persisting in Music Without a Gig.
