Act Michael Kaminsky discusses the expenses acts are facing on the road now and the impact of the pandemic on concert-going habits, including ticket prices, concert habits changing post-COVID and the challenge of making ends meet with soaring gas prices and blanketing expensive expenses.

He also discussed the changing tour model and the rise of digital and obscure acts. The Times article is at least 2500 characters and includes 3 paragraphs
