How many of you stopped playing live shows and only record music now?

I’ve been in a band for about 12 years. It has gone through some lineup changes and fluctuated in size, but the core of the band (me and one other dude) has remained the same since inception. We used to play out all around LA, but our last show was in 2016. Since then, we’ve released a full length album and an EP. Currently working on our next album.

I love making music but the hassle of assembling a full live band, renting a practice space, and hustling just to put on a show with a very middling turnout seems… not worth it to me anymore. For reference, I’m 36 years old, which means many of my peers are now understandably more focused on their families and careers. And the sad reality is, I can’t picture any of them wanting to stay out late at some crappy venue on a Wednesday night to see a band play. I personally still love going out and seeing live music during the week, but I’m definitely in the minority for my age. Anyway, I’m just curious how many of you are in a similar boat?
