Ep 25 Can I Get Less Ego In The Mix?

Oh the ego battles! Ever wonder what really goes down behind the scenes at gigs? It's not just about the music—it's about ego, elbowing for space, and the unspoken rules we all ignore until they come back and bite us in the bum! Mercy AKA Jaquelynn and The Manz AKA Kyle are here to assure you, we’re not always the hero of every story. Husband and wife team, in life, love and music, we love to debrief gig life and all that goes along with it. Jaque stepped in on a gig recently and drops some truth bombs about the unglamorous side of being a musician—like wrapping cables at the end of gigs (spoiler: she’s terrible at it). Kyle flew to Chicago for a recent Rock and Roll Team Building event and talks about how band dynamics, ego, and the constant struggle of balancing work and life shape our "normal." Turns out humility might be the most underrated skill in our gig world. That, and properly wrapping cables. Catch the full conversation here.
