Like a local band at a bar? If so, it was probably the band my brother was in.

Lol...ok so embarrassing as it is...NKOTB in 1990 or 1989...not sure. It's when Tiffany was still more popular and they were her opening act.

Typically a gig refers to a concert you perform in, not one you go to watch.

Mine was Hank Williams Jr at 4 years old. Can't say it was the most appropriate but I loved the song Kawliga.

I've also heard it use as in a general job "He got a really good gig" .

Typically a gig refers to a concert you perform in, not one you go to watch.

that's the way I've always understood it too.

When I was a freshman in high school marching band, I first heard that that term when our marching band "got a gig" to perform in the filming of a commercial for our local tv station. We went up to Los Angeles for an afternoon and filmed...but I don't know if I ever actually saw our band on tv...
