It’s for sure possible without an huge audience. Sometimes being able to capture even an audience of 5-10 strangers can be powerful.
I played a show in Seattle at a bar last September and during one of our songs, I saw someone in the audience look to their friend and mouth “what the fuck” - as in we had sounded really good and they were shocked by that.
Afterwards we had a really great conversation and that person told us we were one of the best bands she had seen at that bar.
