6/5/26 Update:
My gig is tomorrow. I've worked out my set list and I've recorded and released an EP in preparation. I did the distribution for it kind of hastily, so I'm not sure if it's on all of the platforms just yet, but it's on Tidal, Spotify, and Apple Music for now.
I used DistroKid and was kind of confused about some of the process and I'm hoping that I can work out whatever kinks still need to be ironed out. For now, I'm really pleased with how the EP came out and I'm super excited to perform tomorrow.
In preparation, I plugged my acoustic into an amp today and found out that I needed to replace the battery for my pickup, which led to cleaning the terminals, but I'm ready!
Oh and I'll be using a headstock tuner
If anyone wants to check out the EP, you can do so here: Philip Bell - The Movement EP

I performed an original at a really small open mic a couple of weekends ago. Just me and an acoustic guitar on stage was insanely nerve-racking, but I got through it with minimal mistakes and some dignity (my pants are olive?).
One of the other performers then asked me to fill a 30 minute time slot opening for his band at a bar in June, playing original music. That's a dream come true, so wish me fucking luck.
(I know this isn't heavy gain amp talk, but I do a lot of guitar work outside of my punk/metal band)
