gig
Band's one-nighter
A gig is a live musical performance, especially by a band or solo artist at a club or venue: We have a gig tonight at the Blue Note.
The word extends to any paid engagement or freelance job: She picked up a gig writing copy.
The gig economy describes work arrangements based on short-term contracts rather than permanent employment.
Separately, a gig is a light two-wheeled carriage, a type of fishing spear, or a demerit in military slang.
