Seems petty but…
When I went to Czech to work I had to be crystal clear what I was doing with full documentation. Shortly thereafter a process started that took months with attorneys in both countries working to establish full residency needed for some business transactions. It’s a 2-way street and the US has been sloppy about it for decades.

I feel safer already, those clarinet-toting Czechs are a dangerous lot!
He probably got mouthy with the customs officer, Biden's not in charge anymore ,you better be respectful when going through customs or you get the boot.
Wah, Wah, boo hoo!
As already mentioned, every other country except the U.S. has operated this way for years. Try going into Mexico to do any work while claiming to be a tourist. Or Canada for that matter.
He didn’t take the time to get a work visa, so he was rightly denied entry.
ETA:
I’ll bet he gets the appropriate visa next time.
I love the sob story of, “well, in addition to performing for pay (work), he’s also going to do some free concerts. So that makes it okay.”

There simply doesn’t need to be more to the story. He tried to enter using a tourist visa when his real purpose involved working for pay. These are not new rules, just rules that already exist being enforced.
In reference to the work visa rules, that have existed for decades, here’s a story of what happened where I worked. About 1992.
We had a very good mechanic who worked in our shop in Michigan. He was here on a work visa. After a year of visits back home to see his family and girlfriend, he decided he wanted to stay here. He didn’t apply or anything, just stayed here and then hid girl came on a tourist visa to stay with him.
After six months or so on a two week tourist visa, she drove back to visit her family. Where she was detained, had her visa rights taken away so that she had to stay in Canada.
He decides to go visit her and maybe get her back. But since he had overstayed and not renewed his work visa, he was also forced to stay in Canada.
Our company had to transfer him to a facility in northern Ontario in order to keep him.

Most detentions are because you’re stupid and said something idiotic, which triggered the agent and he/she escalated your interaction.
Case in point, former biz partner’s sister-in-law is Indonesian. He brings her over each year for 1-2 months so his wife can have her sister around. Never an issue until back in 2019 she comes into LAX. At immigration, she gets nervous and says something retarded along the lines of “Visiting family and helping her brother-in-law with his business”. Welp… that was it. She was done. From that moment the CBP agent(s) went full apeshit and were adversarial the entire time. She got booted and was not allowed to enter — all because she said something stupid. That’s all it takes.
One. Dumb. Word.
Also, if you visit on a tourist visa but plan to get paid for doing anything — like playing an instrument — and CBP finds out or suspects it, you gonna get bounced.
Just answer any questions with yes/no or “tourist activities” and you’ll never spend more than 60 seconds at any immigration checkpoint, regardless of country.
Except China. Phuq Chynah.

He was probably going to bang those two Chinese hoes in live sex shows while one played that clarinet with nothing but queefs.
Next time get the right visa you dumbass. They should sell the right visa for a 1000% mark up at the airport.
