It's always interesting when these moments happen. I am fightin my way into the Nashville music scene and there have been times that older musicians have looked at me like I was just ruining "their" stage, as I stepped off after soundcheck or the actual set. "Sorry your band doesn't sound as good as us" is what I thought at the time, but I now see that this is a behavior to learn from, and learn to never exhibit. I wish you luck down south playing gigs! I'd love to hear something you play on sometime:)
hello @samvan I know all to well how things are in Nashville, but don't worry too much about that, as long as you do your best you are doing just fine. Never forget that you should only be concerned with the people that truly appreciate what you do and the people with good intentions around you. Those are the ones that want to see you triumph and they will be the ones to help you succeed.
In any area of life, but more so in show business I learned to have a mental switch to safely ignore the people who don't want the best for me. Keep on doing your best, wishing you much success.

Thank you very much for those kind words; they are encouraging to hear, and I appreciate them very much! I would be amazed to hear your personal history with Nashville. Every story I hear about this place from experienced cats like yourself, gives me better bearings on it.
yessss
