Aging Matters

When the Gig Is Up

Season 1 Episode 26

In this Aging Matters, we meet various musicians to see the benefits and drawbacks of nontraditional employment. Many musicians flock to Music City with the goal of making it in the industry. A few get the big record deals, but most musicians work gig to gig pursuing their dream without the security that a traditional 9-5 job affords, especially when it comes to insurance and retirement benefits.
