Handsome Jack on Getting Paid at Gigs in 2026

In this highlight from The Sonic Road, the members of Handsome Jack discuss the "end of the night" struggle that every independent band faces. From signed contracts that don't guarantee a paycheck to venues trying to "fuck you over," we dive into the gritty side of the touring life. Beau and the band explore why simply "playing more shows" is no longer a sustainable strategy and why fan support is the only real answer to keeping independent rock alive in 2026. If you've ever wondered where your ticket money actually goes, this deep dive into the modern music business ecosystem is a must-watch.
