Advertisement for shows are kind of non-existent.

Different target demographic that spends less on alcohol and alcohol sales are basically how clubs and venues are staying alive.

Live music is less lucrative for the artists than it used to be. Many artists in many genres are doing some pop up shows but less "quality" acts are actively doing gigs.

Lower tier market, especially with Boston nearby.
