gigging
Doing live sets
Gigging is performing live music, typically short engagements at clubs, bars, or events: She's been gigging around town for years.
The term extends to any freelance or temporary work: He's gigging as a delivery driver.
In the gig economy, gigging describes piecing together income from multiple short-term jobs rather than holding traditional employment.
