When the Gig Is Up

Following in the footsteps of Nashville Public Television's previous two multi-year, socially engaged and award-winning projects, Next Door Neighbors and NPT Reports: Children's Health Crisis. Aging Matters is a major multi-year initiative designed to open a community-based conversation about what Middle Tennessee's older citizens need to optimize their quality of life.

Season 1 Episode 26 | 26m 46s | CC

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.
