The decline of the working musician

The linked article is about the book "Band People" by Franz Nicolay, which examines the lives and experiences of musicians who are not the lead singers or headliners of their bands. It explores the challenges, sacrifices, and joys of being a supporting member of a musical group, and how these individuals navigate the industry and their own artistic aspirations. The review provides insight into the book's themes and Nicolay's approach to capturing the diverse narratives of these "band people" who often operate in the shadows of more prominent band members.
