Here's another factor that I ran into. for real.
I played at a local pizza/sports bar on a Wednesday night.You all know I think that I'm 60 and play Classic Country & Oldies.I had a nice little group of around 25 people that came and had all kinds of food & drinks and had a great time. I made $120 in tips.
I got an email from the owner stating she wasn't going to have me back cause she didn't get a good report from her bar tender.
The bar tender is a 20 year old tattooed skank.Of course she's not going to want to listen to what I play.Lesson: Pick the venues that fit your music.
